With the club recently hosting that Melbourne City game and posting about the infamous Carlton SC, i was wondering if anyone would be interested in buying retro Carlton SC tops?

There's a guy I've used for other replicas which are good quality, he does custom orders and has done some other Australian NSL clubs. He said if there's enough interest he'd do the Carlton Parmalat kits.
 
Just spotted the cfc monopoly on the cfc shop site.
Disappointing but not surprising there is no silvagni square/station/street/


While it takes two to tango, he (and family) are cfc icons and are synonymous with our club 😥
I would think a level of consent would be required from the former players before being “honoured” in such a game. Perhaps consent was not forthcoming. I doubt the club would seek to disrespect or alienate a “legend”.

I will pass. Melbourne Croatia SC till I die! 😁

I don’t think you’d need Sergio Silvagni’s permission.

for Serge I'm not sure, given it is being used for commercial gain, without consent i bet there would be legal grounds a family would take (not a lawyer but can assume i guess). With the consent from SOS being needed, thats what i mean, did we ask? did he knock it back? either way, its sad
 
depends on who owns the images used i suppose but agree with the consent from SOS being needed, but thats what i mean, did we ask? did he knock it back? either way, its sad
This is a commercial product licensed by the AFL. This would have zero to do with our club. There is a version of this game for each club. Interestingly though, the club is selling the game for 90.00, and the AFL shop is selling it for 59.99

I don't think that the Silvagni family would spend any time thinking of this board game. Their names are enshrined in the annals of the history of the club and the places that mean something such as the players lockers , honour boards etc.
 
Thinking of bringing my 5yo to Ikon park before school starts.

Apart from the Carlton shop, cafe etc what else is available to do there if we turn up on a Friday morning?

Follow Charlie around all day and ask him for piggy back rides?
 
Morning all, I come in peace!

I have been doing an AFL Club Mt Rushmore series and today the Carlton edition went live!

This one was very very tricky to do due to the amount of great players you have had from the 90s onwards.

For clarity my criteria for selection was:
-must be past players
-must be players I saw play and remember.

Would love to hear who you would have all gone with too!

Well, it's mostly going to come from the early part of that period, around the '95 premiership team. In fact, the only one I'd have as a candidate outside that group would be Judd.

So, here's a list of 6 that I'd give you to choose from. Hard to pick the four from these - and this isn't in order.
1. Sticks Kernahan. Premiership captain, longest serving captain, great key forward in an era of great key forwards.
2. Craig Bradley. Archetype of the modern running footballer. 375 games, ran opponents off their feet.
3. Diesel Williams. The premier centreman of the 90s. Lightning hands, extraordinary vision. Dual Brownlow & Norm Smith.
4. Anthony Koutoufides. Could do it all. Key position sized, athletic enough for a midfielder. Common enough now, rare then.
5. Stephen Silvagni. Full-back of the century. Played against (and often beat) some of the greatest key forwards we've seen.
6. Chris Judd. Dual Brownlow medallist. Alongside Gaz Jr, the best midfielder of the 00s. Carried a pretty average Carlton side to finals.

Edit: Ha, wrote this before watching your vid, mis-read thinking you were after input. Anyway, can't argue with your selections. Braddles and Juddy stiff, but don't think you'll get a lot of arguments. Would be very hard to do if you were as old as me and remembered the likes of Jezza & Big Nick.

Judd was very very close in my final 4.

I just felt the contribution of the other players had a bit more weight behind it.

The blues had some seriously good players running around!
 
Hey ferrisb - got all the fam down here over the holiday period. Popped over to see them last night, and the kids were watching Despicable Me....all I could think of was big Pitto 🤣😂🤣

Ratten & Dean on the bench.
 
Took my eldest (can you believe he's SIX now!) to the Charlie's Crew session today. There were about 100 kids there aged from 4 -14.
I wasn't expecting much but WOW they were amazing! All the players were really gracious and kind to the kids, it ran like a well oiled machine, and I reckon every child there left absolutely beaming.

We were able to get some autographs at the end (skipped the lines for SOS, Charlie and Crippa because they would have taken FOREVER) and were given two signed Charlie posters, a hat, a puzzle and stickers on our way out.

It was so much fun to watch my son's face light up because of Carlton. What a great day.
 
Assuming Gov, Boyd, Saad,
Young, Marchbank and Kemp will have to hold the fort until Weitering returns, hopefully a fit Z-Williams back too.

Marchy finally getting a kind run of injury from the footy gods was one of my highlights last season.

Years gone by I would have absolutely gone to the panic stations of Weiters missing such a chunk of the start of the season, but our depth and player development in the last couple of years has been bloody good and I am reasonably confident we can weather the storm until he returns.
