IT may have been September, but Saint Nicholas (of house Duigan) produced the perfect gift for Carlton supporters at the MCG.



And as is the case with all gifts, it was so much better given how unexpected it was. Unexpected how? First of all, Nick Duigan was a defender by trade. In his first two seasons at Carlton, he rarely missed a game. Secondly, he had played just three games in 2013, up until that point. Third, he wasn’t even in the team five minutes before the bounce. Famously, he was eating salad rolls before he got the tap on the shoulder that he would be replacing Brock McLean as the latest of inclusions.

Take ✌️ against the Tigers.
