Found this to be very interesting. A photograph of the Carlton team from 1868 at training. It is believed to be the oldest image of an Australian football team aswell.
They found it in storage at Visy Park, in an old matchday bar.

It's worth a look, a great piece of club history

Unbelievable...

What's even more amazing is that it was a closed training session that day, so it's incredible a photo was taken at all.

& it was raining!

Apparently Braddles was training by himself and missed the photo. He was trying to extract an extra 4 pence in his contract.

fantastic photo, I wonder if they can come up with names to those players.

According to the Blueseum we had a percentage of 250%.

No coach - a radical version of Leading Teams empowered the players...

Done. You'd already added the Buggy version to 1868?

From the Blueseum.

I thought it was amazing that the training session was advertised at PP and then moved 30 minutes before hand to an undisclosed location. Sneaky leakers in the club even back in 1868.

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.
