Jacob Weitering

2024 was a standout year for Jacob Weitering, where he earned his first All-Australian blazer.

Forever the consistent performer, the 26-year-old is a dual John Nicholls Medallist who has established himself as one of the standout key defenders in the competition as he approaches 200 games for the Club.

Averaging over 5.5 spoils a game throughout his career as a brilliant lockdown defender, Weitering has expanded his game in recent seasons, recording more marks and intercepts than any other player in the competition during 2023.

Admired for his leadership on and off the field, the key defender was promoted to co-vice captain in 2022, in what was a natural progression for the 2015 No.1 draft pick, who has embraced the responsibility that has come with leading the football club.

The defender capped off his year by marrying partner Isabel and re-committing to the Club for six more years.
