That they were...





Looks like Dorotich was there with his wife and son.



Is that Manton in the blue T shirt?

Mants has sons.

Nostalgia spoiler alert....

Did you know we've only ever had 7 Carlton sons play more games of senior football than their 7 corresponding fathers?

Try naming some without cheating!

I reckon I know 5 of teh 7:

Waite
Whitnall
SOS
Bosustow
David Clarke Jnr

I just checked teh answers and i got Waite wrong and there are 8 and not 7

Yes you are correct Bomba - history sometimes forgets the contribution of the Clarkes to Carlton.

Clark Snr's contribution more likely than Jnr;s

I was hoping to get more than 4 / 8 but nevermind, l'll have to study the Blueseum site a bit harder

Good pedigree, I woudl be rapt to get 2 - 3 of these to make the grade.

We would be the next Geelong if tehy all made the grade as good senior players, lets hope we get more ex players kids on board

Is it just for players who played 100 games or more, or is it for all ex Carlton players kids? (hopefully the latter)

Charlie WILLIAMS!!!

WILLIAMS!!!

please may this boy be something special!

Agree a great inititive by the Spirit of Carlton (SOC) - just need the club to start supporting the SOC - at the moment it seems to be a one way street.

This is easily (IMHO) the best initiative to come out of Carlton in the last 10 years. Love it.

Its definitely right up there with the best, must be a thrill for the young lads

Its good thats mum's are encouraged to particpate as well

We can add another potential father/son. Heath Scotland and his wife had another son this afternoon. Announced on CFC twitter.

Lets hope the Scotland footballing bloodlines continue, Heath's old man was a legend at Braybrook FC and clocked up a stack of B&F's and premierships at Braybrook.
