This is a question for the learned folks of TC.

Imagine if you will. Going on a bus tour around Melbourne visiting significant spots in the history of the Carlton Football Club.

There are a multitude of places that could be visited, the Junction Oval (the site of our first win), The University Hotel (where our first general meeting was held)....

There are many many others though.

What would you include on the tour?


...and yes I am after serious suggestions. The posts saying 'where Dora did this or where Dominator did that' will get some laughs but are not exactly what I'm after if you know what I mean.

I used to love getting the Melbourne Times and reading "Wacker of the Wing"

There were also the Collingwood and Fitzroy versions "RoyBoy" and "Fantasy 58" - they wernt bad reads either, but no where as good as Wacker

Good post.

Errol St dry cleaner comes to mind...
