FOOTBALL'S night of nights is tonight.
Unlike past years for Carlton, it won't be a case of having all eyes on one player going all the way, particularly after Patrick Cripps' historic Brownlow Medal triumph 12 months ago.
Any of Cripps, Coleman Medallist Charlie Curnow or gun midfielder Adam Cerra could poll the Blues' most votes on the night: this is where each Blue could feature in tonight's count.
