Carlton Media selects its top-five player stats from the Blues' seven-point win over the Hawks at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night:

Sam Docherty
Game-high 555m gained

Sam Docherty was at his devastating best off half-back, collecting 31 disposals (93 per cent efficiency), six rebound-50s, 15 marks and two goal assists in a performance which earned him the David Parkin Medal as best afield. He was the most effective player on the ground for moving the ball forward, with a game-high 555m gained. 
 

Liam Jones
Game-high 16 one-percenters

Take a bow, Liam Jones. The competitive defender accumulated a staggering 16 one-percenters, nine higher than second-best Ciaran Byrne. If you wanted to teach a budding footballer the art of spoiling, you need look no further than Jones' inspirational efforts to deny Jarryd Roughead and Luke Breust. 

Marc Murphy
Game-high 27 pressure acts

Marc Murphy led the Blues for disposals (34) and clearances (six), but what he did off the ball was equally impressive. The Blues pride themselves on pressure, and the skipper delivered with a game-high 27 pressure acts.

Jacob Weitering
Equal game-high 8 intercepts

There's been no signs of fatigue for second-year player Jacob Weitering, who continued his strong finish to the season. The defender collected a season-high 23 disposals, while also showcasing his ability to read the play with an equal game-high eight intercepts alongside Docherty and Ciaran Byrne.

Charlie Curnow
Team-high 14 contested possessions

Gun youngster Charlie Curnow seems to be adding to a new string to his bow each week. This time the 20-year-old was afforded more game time in the midfield and delivered, collecting a career-high 22 disposals and team-high 14 contested possessions.
