And we actually won! Pity is was a pre-season game.

That's right - we did too and from memory, it was Cain Ackland's first (and probably best) game for us. Remember at the time Hawks not being happy, 'cos apparently Carlton supporters comfortably outnumbered Hawks supporters, as they were just starting to dip their toe into the Tassie market & were hoping for a more pro-Hawthorn response from the locals.

Yep Hawthorn was booed when they ran onto the ground and the sea of Navy Blue walking to the ground outnumbered Hawthorn gold 5 to 1

Yeah......"Tassie"  ****ing Hawks....Pah !

We've always had a huge supporter base down here....it riles me to see us do nothing with it, and Hawthorn start picking up schoolkids before they know any better.
Life is pain....... anyone who says differently is selling something.

9 home games on a Sunday afternoon lol.

Ironic the only top team we play twice are the Sydney Swans, funny how they always get a nice draw.

Yeah, but only 2 are the 'later games'.
Swans in R2 @ 4:40.
Bombers in R5 @ 3:20.

The rest are all 1:10.

Not too bad considering.

6 interstate games, including Hawks at Tassie.
Sydney
GWS
GC
Brisbane
Fremantle

Play Thursday night opener.

Play Bombers, Pies, Swans, Lions and Saints twice.

6 home games at the MCG, Bombers, Pies, Crows, Eagles, Saints and Dees

Still get a home game against Geelong at Etihad....hopefully we can break that curse!

6, 6 days breaks 2 of which see us fly interstate on the short week.

12 saturday games (3 at night).

"I can't see how we can lose any of these games.........." 

Was that you again, Mick?

This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Rather play them twice than just about any other side in the 8... maybe Richmond.

Only just noticed, there's a completely bye week between the last round and the first week of the finals.

We got banned from Friday night football for being crap.

They changed the fixture for North tanking Friday Night Football.

To stop the resting of players in the final round no doubt? Not a bad idea at all TBH, give all teams a fair chance to regenerate and remove all travel bias.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!
