OVERVIEW
In his second season wearing navy blue, Everitt was one of four players to run out in every game this year.
In a disappointing year for the Blues, the 26-year-old proved to be a shining light and notched up his 100th AFL game in Round 4.
The tall forward consistently found himself on the score sheet, topping the Blues goal scorers with 31 for the season.
Everitt’s consistent form in 2015 earned him a contract extension, which will see him remain at the Blues for at least another seasons.

HE SAID IT
“It’s a bit surreal in a way – it’s been nine years now. To play 100 games is good and I’ll definitely look back on it in the future and be proud.”
- Everitt speaking in the lead up to Round 4’s clash with the Saints ahead of his 100th game.
THEY SAID IT
"This year he's taken his game to another level and we've been really pleased with his output in what have been trying circumstances.
"Andrejs has also consistently provided an option for us up forward and his efforts have seen him emerge as our leading goalscorer this season."
- Carlton’s Head of Football Andrew McKay talking about Everitt after extending the forward’s contract early in September.
SEASON HIGHLIGHT
In Round 19 against Collingwood, Everitt kicked Carlton’s goal of the week. In a remarkable display of skill, Everitt intercepted kick from Taylor Adams with his fingertips, brought the ball to ground, picked it up and dribbled through a goal on a tight angle from 25m out.
