Wikipedia - Carlton Football Club

The Carlton Football Club, nicknamed the Blues, is a professional Australian rules football club that competes in the Australian Football League (AFL), the sport's top professional competition.

Founded in 1864, in Carlton, an inner suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Carlton quickly became a dominant club in early Australian rules football competitions, and was a foundation member of the Victorian Football Association (VFA), winning the inaugural premiership in 1877. In 1896, Carlton joined the breakaway Victorian Football League (since renamed the AFL), and alongside rivals Collingwood, Essendon, and Richmond, is regarded as one of the league's historical "Big Four" clubs, having won sixteen VFL/AFL premierships, equal with Collingwood and Essendon as the most of any AFL club.

Carlton's headquarters and training facilities are located in Carlton North at Princes Park, its traditional home ground, and it currently plays its home matches at Docklands Stadium and the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Since 2017, Carlton has fielded a team in the AFL Women's, its best result thus far being a grand final loss in 2019. Carlton also has reserves sides in the Victorian Football League and VFL Women's.

History

History

Carlton was a key cog in the establishment of Women's football in the state of Victoria. In August 1933 the club hosted the first ever VFL sanctioned match between women's teams, with sides representing Carlton and Richmond. Though Richmond's side was not associated directly with the VFL club of the same name, the Carlton side was picked and trained by the club with VFL players Mickey Crisp and Ray Brew as coaches. The match, played at Carlton's home Princes Park drew an estimated crowd of 10,000 and raised funds as part of a VFL bye-week carnival for The Royal Melbourne Hospital.

The club next fielded a women's team more than a decade later when it competed in a 1947 charity exhibition series raising funds in support of food shortages in post-war Commonwealth countries. The club's team played multiple matches in multiple series that season including a match against Footscray in July and a subsequent series against Hawthorn, South Melbourne, St Kilda and Footscray in August 1947.

The Carlton Women's Australian Rules Football team is a powerhouse in the AFLW competition. Based in Melbourne, Victoria, the team was established in 2017 and has quickly become one of the most successful teams in the league.

Known for their strong and skillful players, the Carlton Women's team is led by a talented coaching staff who have instilled a winning culture within the club. The team's iconic navy blue and white colors are a symbol of their rich history and tradition.

The Carlton Women's team has a passionate and dedicated fan base who support them at every game, creating an electric atmosphere at their home ground, Ikon Park. With a commitment to excellence and a drive to succeed, the Carlton Women's team is a force to be reckoned with in the AFLW competition.
