Carlton B&F: Career-best Blue beats gun defender
George Hewett has won the John Nicholls Medal as Carlton’s best and fairest for 2025.
The 29-year-old midfielder, in his fourth year with the Blues, won his first club B&F by polling 160 votes to cap a career-best season.
Hewett beat two-time winner, vice-captain and gun defender Jacob Weltering (147) while midfielder Adam Cerra (129) was on the podium in third.
Nick Haynes (126) finished fourth ahead of captain and five-time winner Patrick Cripps (125).
Other award winners on the night included Cooper Lord who won both the Best Young Player and the past player-voted Spirit of Carlton award. Ruckman Marc Pittonet was named Best Clubman as Hewett picked up a further handful of gongs in a massive night for the former Swan.
He was also won the Coaches' Award, the Players' Award, the Carltonians William A. Cook Award, the Interstate Coterie Award and the Bill Lanyon Inner Blue Ruthless Award.
