A CLEAN sweep.
The six players who polled in Carlton’s Round 17 win over Sydney all wore Navy Blue.
In a sign of the even spread which was the main factor in the Blues’ win, no player polled more than six votes and none less than four votes.
Returning captain Patrick Cripps and former Swan Nic Newman both topped the votes with six, with Marc Murphy (five), Matthew Kreuzer (five), Ed Curnow (four) and Sam Walsh (four) not far behind.
The people have spoken.

Cripps, who recorded 28 disposals and eight clearances in the win, now finds himself in equal-third position on the AFLCA Player of the Year leaderboard. He trails Geelong’s Tim Kelly by 10 votes.
Newman starred against his former side with 32 disposals, while the midfield quartet of Kreuzer, Curnow, Murphy and Walsh joined Cripps in driving Carlton to a historic win.
19-year-old Walsh has now polled in four of his last five games after his 28-disposal, one-goal performance.
