There was a Carlton Football Club in Hobart, (also a Fitzroy) in the late 1880's, Perth 1890's, Newcastle/Lithgow area NSW 1890's, Sydney 1890's, and I believe there was one in Christchurch or Dunedin N.Z. which a former Blue had a hand in. All played Australian Football.

Wayne ''The Dominator'' Johnston twice trained with Carlton (after being signed on a Form 4) in 1978 and was rejected; and so went to VFA Club Prahran (The Two Blues) and played in a Flag there; and then asked Carlton for a clearance to Melbourne.

New Coach Alex Jesaulenko said "'I'd like to see him play before clearing anybody''......that year 1979 saw Dom star in the Carlton Premiership win.....what a legend!

@#$%&! he was good.

Equal best player ever imo...equal in value with the likes of Big Nick, Jezza, Southby, Doull, Silvagni, Braddles...and on it goes...what a great club we have decided to support...plenty of 'em.

Barracking for Carlton is one of my life's bona fide "good choices".

I think during those pre-season trials it came down to a choice between Wayne Johnston and Phil Cleary, luckily we chose The Dominator.

I wish I could remember the game....I think vs Collingwood; when he announced to his team mates at half time''I'm going to go out in the second half and dominate''.....and he always did.

That nickname was originally invented by himself at Chasers Night Club, when he was out on the tear with Mark MacLure; Jimmy Buckley, and Michael Young among others.

One of them asked Johnno how he was going with the girls; and he said ''I'm dominating''.....and he eventually passed out under a table after a gazillion beers.

When they woke him; they started calling him Dominator or Dom rather derisively; but in good humour.

The next day at training; everyone called him Dominator; and the legend was born.

Although MacLure was the main instigator in calling him Dom all the time; today he calls him Johnno......
