He struggled with injury when he first arrived at Brisbane and spent all of the 2012 playing for the Brisbane reserves side in the North East Australian Football League (NEAFL).[1] He made his AFL debut in round 4 of the 2013 AFL season against North Melbourne, becoming the 150th player to play for the Brisbane Lions.[2] Docherty was traded to the Carlton Football Club during the 2013 trade period.[3] Brisbane received pick 33 in exchange for Docherty.
After a strong year in 2016, Docherty was rewarded with the John Nicholls Medal as Carlton's best and fairest player,[4] he was also named in the 40-man squad for the All-Australian team.[5]
