Carlton - Matthew Kennedy

One of many ex-Giants on the Blues list, the former pick 13 pick had an interrupted start with his new club after sustaining an ankle injury in the season opener against Richmond. The talented midfielder managed to string 12 games together for the year, averaging 17.2 disposals and booting a total of three goals. The 21 year-old is due for a breakout year if he is able to keep his body in check.
