Distinct from the Brad Moran award, where a dud player records the single standout game of their career against Carlton, a "Birthday Player" is one who may be generally decent or even good, but enjoys a day out every time they play Carlton.

North Melbourne has Paul Curtis who averages 1.25 goals per game over his career vs 2.17 against the Blues. Marks are at 3.42 career vs 4.5 Blues as well.
Of other current players only Sheezel has a notable bump in any stat, averaging ~5 more disposals a game vs Carlton.

Neither hold a candle to Lindsay Thomas though, 1.55 career average goals vs 3.5 against Carlton.

Tom Lynch, no idea if his average against blues is better but always seems to kick a bag

Jamie Elliott is playing shocking. Do I put him down for 3 or 4 goals this week?

Not to mention Sidebottom who will stay at home on the outer wing and wrack up minimum 30 touches . Oh , and will drift forward and jag a lazy three .

Sidebottom is out, so Elliott will kick six.

Nah , I reckon it will be a nobody go berserk and do a Mark McGough on us . To think we once upon we were there Master's .

That Arthur Anderson nerd will get 30 touches, 3 goals and rising star, bank it

Sidebottom is out, so Elliott will kick six.
