Sam Docherty
Sam Docherty was the heart of Carlton Football Club during his 171-game career. Born to a footy obsessed family on Phillip Island, Sam grew up with dreams of playing for his beloved Carlton, a dream that finally came true in 2012 after a short stint at Brisbane Lions.
Despite injuries blighting his start to the club, he soon became a star fixture for the Blues, becoming a John Nicholls Medallist in 2016, All-Australian in 2017 and appointed as co-captain of Carlton from 2019 to 2021. But off field, things weren’t always so easy.
In that time, he overcame testicular cancer twice, at one point returning to the field a mere eight weeks after finishing chemotherapy. Refusing to let his illness define him, Docherty used his time on the sidelines to mentor and coach his teammates, always looking for a silver lining – and becoming an inspiration to the country in the process.
Full of never-before-told anecdotes from the MCG, this is a story of true heroism, grit, and the wisdom that comes when you’ve faced the worst.©2026 Sam Docherty (P)2026 W. F. Howes ltd.
