A DOUBLE century of George.<\/p>\n
This Saturday night, George Hewett will achieve a significant personal milestone when he runs out for his 200th AFL game.<\/p>\n
Across two clubs, Hewett has forged a reputation as a solid, tough and reliable teammate, having made his debut nine years ago when the South Australian ran out for Sydney in the opening round of 2016.<\/p>\n
Playing a Grand Final in his first season with the Swans, Hewett played 120 games in the Harbour City before crossing to the Blues as a free agent, where he has been a constant presence of Carlton\u2019s midfield group since then.<\/p>\n
Hewett has been as consistent as they come for the Blues on the way to a career-best campaign in 2025, averaging over 27 disposals, 13 contested possessions and six clearances per game.<\/p>\n
On six occasions this year Hewett has accumulated over 30 disposals, winning the SuperClash Superhero Medal as the best afield against North Melbourne while he\u2019s fresh off a 36-disposal showing at the weekend against Fremantle. He’s one of only two players this season to currently rank inside the top 10 of the competition for both disposals and tackles.<\/p>\n
Occasionally referred to as \u2018the GOAT\u2019 by his teammates, Hewett – who re-signed with the Blues until the end of 2027 earlier this year – is highly regarded for not only his on-field performance, but also his dedication and commitment to his craft, constantly getting the best out of himself on the back of diligent preparation and tireless work ethic.<\/p>\n
When he runs through the banner for game No.200 this Saturday night against the Gold Coast Suns, it\u2019ll be another chance for the Carlton family to show that – as has been the case since he arrived at the end of 2021 – everybody loves George.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"George Hewett will achieve a significant personal milestone this Saturday night when he runs out for his 200th…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44816,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85,83],"class_list":["post-44815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports","tag-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
