LACHIE HENDERSON
With the departure of Jarrad Waite, Henderson shapes as Carlton's number one marking target in 2015. In 16 games in 2014 Henderson took 38 contested marks, two fewer than Waite but well clear of Levi Casboult. At 25, Henderson is coming into his prime and was in great form before fracturing his eye socket in the dying moments of the round 19 clash with Fremantle. The Blues will likely build their forward line around him next season.
KEY 2014 STATS: Second for marks inside 50, fourth for contested marks, second for goals (28). 

MATTHEW KREUZER
The Blues have some thinking to do if Kreuzer comes back fit and firing in 2015. He was emerging as the Blues number one ruckman before breaking his foot early last season and managing just one match for the year. But if Mick Malthouse can be convinced to keep Matthew Warnock and Cameron Wood as his main ruckmen, a fit and mobile Kreuzer could be unleashed as a swingman able to play – and dominate – in different parts of the ground, in the same vein as Jarryd Roughead. As a tall and athletic burst midfielder, Kreuzer shapes as a hard match-up.
KEY STATS: From 2008 until the end of 2013, 14th for hit-outs, ninth for disposals of the top 50 hit-out winners, third most tackles from that group.
