@madsray @CarltonFCBlues @CarltonFC Some advice I got --> German club is OK, but you have to book. Woolongabba hotel is also OK, and if you're early enough, can get a table. But plenty of other options all within a couple of minutes walk. Not sure of 'Carlton' options, but you'll usually find a good mix at most...

Anyone know if there is a good pub to go to before the Gabba on Friday night Carlton people go to? @SpiritofCarlton @CarltonFCBlues @CarltonFC #Carlton #AFL

Latest video to drop. 🫳 Tom Alvin 1991 3⃣1⃣🏆 Played 19 games and kicked 5 goals in season 1991. Won Best Clubman Award and finished 6th in the B&F. youtu.be/_AQyGX5U2Bw

Just crunching the numbers and the new look Blueseum is well and truly back. We had 260,000 individuals visit the site in the month of April. Thanks to everyone for checking us out! 😀

Now on display - a replica of the long-lost Challenge Cup earned when Carlton defeated Sunday’s opponent Melbourne 2-0 in Albert Park in the spring of 1871. This is the story of the lengths to which the Club went to retrieve its ‘Holy Grail’. carltonfc.com.au/news/1981028/s…

So many Carlton successes were built on the backs of the Bendigo district’s finest footballers - and in a recent get-together in the old town, former greats who hailed from the area were acknowledged in a special message conveyed by Big Nick. carltonfc.com.au/news/1981034/s…

@thefootyalmanac The 1979 Grand Final was basically a Bendigo intra-club match with 10 Bendigo zone recruits out of the 40 players 8 Carlton, 2 Collingwood (ex-Carlton).

The Bendigo Football League was a goldmine for the recruitment of footballers for the Carlton FC during the era of country zoning 1969-1985. Jack Coyne has produced a clip featuring many from the 1970s. footyalmanac.com.au/almanac-footy-… @thefootyalmanac #CarltonFC #JackCoyne #footyhistory

@7AFL Next step will be players doing a 'fake' ruffle inches away from the head. Will the AFL ban that?

"From now on, you are going to treat the ruffling of the head as head-high contact." 🗣️ The AFL's message to umpires following Round 2

@tony_debolfo Less said about the 1951 Lightning Premiership the better! blueseum.org/mwiki/index.ph…

Happy to stand corrected, but according to Dr Google: No VFL/AFL footballer has been recorded being directly hit by a lightning bolt on the field in 130 seasons of competition.
