He finished runner-up in the 1972 Brownlow Medal and equal fourth in 1976. Wells also won Melbourne's best and fairest award in both 1971 and 1976. The 1980 season was his last for Melbourne and he crossed mid year to Carlton where he attempted to finish his career with a premiership. He was a member of Carlton's 1981 premiership side. In 1983, he moved to the Moorabbin Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) second division, serving as its inaugural VFA captain. Playing statistics
