Carlton Football Club will celebrate its 160th year in the Navy Blue this Sunday as they host a crucial match against Hawthorn at the MCG.
Currently sitting eighth and tenth on the 2024 AFL ladder – and separated by just one win – the match is important for both teams fighting for a spot in the 2024 AFL Finals Series in one of the closest seasons on record.As the Blue Baggers celebrate and their long and proud history, we’ve taken a look at their numbers at the MCG:
121,696 Carlton’s biggest Grand Final attendance – and biggest VFL/AFL crowd of all-time. This was the 1970 Grand Final against Collingwood in which Carlton won by 10 points.
91,571 Carlton’s biggest home and away crowd, recorded in Round 20, 2000 against Essendon.
471 the total number of games Carlton has played at the MCG. Carlton have won 222 matches at the MCG, lost 243 and drawn six.
184 Carlton’s highest score at the MCG (kicking 28 goals and 16 behinds). This score was recorded in their Round 15 clash against Richmond in 2011.
116 Carlton’s biggest win at the MCG. They achieved this margin against Melbourne in Round 10, 1986.
15 premierships won at the MCG. Their one premiership not claimed at the MCG was in 1945, when the MCG was being used for military purposes during World War II.
To celebrate the milestone, Carlton will be holding a number of activities pre-game on Sunday - including meet and greet with past players, giveaways and more.
