It was the club's men's team's 127th season as a member of the Australian Football League, and the second under senior coach Michael Voss. The team finished fifth in the home-and-away season with a 13–9–1 record, qualifying for finals for the first time since 2013 and ending a club-record nine-year finals drought; and ultimately finished third after reaching the preliminary finals for the first time since 2000.

The season will also include the club's women's team's eighth season contesting the AFL Women's. The club also fielded its men's reserves team in the Victorian Football League and its-state level women's team in the VFL Women's.

Club summary

The 2023 AFL season will be the 127th season of the VFL/AFL competition since its inception in 1897; and, having competed in every season, it will also be the 127th season contested by the Carlton Football Club. The club will also field its women's team in the eighth season of the AFL Women's competition, its men's reserves team in its sixth Victorian Football League season, and its VFL women's team in its fifth VFL Women's season.

As in 2022, Carlton's primary home ground was Marvel Stadium and secondary home ground was the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with the team playing six home games at the former and five at the latter.[1] Traditional home ground Ikon Park continued to serve as the training and administrative base, and as the home ground for AFL Women's and the men's reserves matches.

Car manufacturer Hyundai, which had been a major sponsor of the club continuously since 2008,[2] and Great Southern Bank, which became a major sponsor during the 2021 season, continued as the club's major sponsors through the 2022 season.[3] The club set another new club record membership tally for the season, exceeding 2022's record of 88,776 in early May, making it the sixth consecutive season that a new club record membership had been set;[4] the final membership tally was 95,277, the fourth-highest tally in the league.[5]

Senior personnel

It was a year of stability for Carlton's senior personnel: Luke Sayers continued in his second year as president, Brian Cook in his second year as CEO, Michael Voss in his second year as senior coach, and Patrick Cripps in his second year as sole club captain and fifth year overall (having served as co-captain with Sam Docherty for three years).

Departing the club's coaching panels was development and reserves coach Daniel O'Keefe, who stepped away after three years. His role as reserves coach was filled by Luke Power;[6] Tom Lonergan joined as Development and Talent Manager, bringing experience from two Talent League clubs;[7] and former Port Adelaide player and football committee-member Brad Ebert joined as development coach.[8]

Finals

In the elimination final, Carlton faced Sydney. A strong second quarter saw Carlton build a 29-point lead at half time, before Sydney gradually fought back throughout the second half; Sydney's last goal with thirty seconds left to play drew the margin back to six points, the closest it had been since the first quarter, but Carlton held on for a six point victory.[51] In a close semi-final against Melbourne, played with high pressure and high errors, Carlton conceded the first three goals then scored the next five, before neither team managed more than two consecutive goals for the rest of the game;[52] Carlton trailed by nine points entering time on in the final quarter, before kicking the last two goals to defeat an inaccurate Melbourne by two points.[53] 2023 recruit Blake Acres kicked Carlton's last goal late in the final quarters of both games: a steadying goal which put Carlton 14 points ahead in the 23rd minute against Sydney;[51] and the go-ahead goal with less than a minute remaining against Melbourne.[53] In the preliminary final against Brisbane, Carlton opened strongly with the first five goals to lead by 30 points after 22 minutes; Brisbane then took control of the game, and kicked ten of the next eleven goals between the late first quarter and the early final quarter to lead by as much as 28 points; two quick goals by Carlton brought the margin back to 16 points with eight minutes remaining, but Carlton got no closer and 16 points was the final margin.[54]

AFL Women's

After failing to play finals in both 2022 AFLW seasons, the club conducted an independent review of its AFLW program, which ran between December 2022 and January 2023. Among the review's conclusions was the need for a full time senior coach to improve leadership across the program, and a recognition that there had been confusion among the players regarding the club's onfield game plan – two conclusions which resulted in the club terminating part-time senior coach Daniel Harford, who had coached the team for five seasons. The review also identified a need for an increased professional and high-performance culture, and improved 360° feedback and development.[71]

Harford was replaced as senior coach by Mathew Buck, who had been a senior assistant coach with the club's men's reserves team.[72] The extended coaching panel was also replaced in full: Carlton College of Sport coordinator Ash Naulty stepped up as Head of AFLW; Tom Couch joined as head of development and midfield assistant coach; Glenn Strachan joined as senior and backline assistant coach; Christina Polatajko joined as forwardline assistant coach; and Lachlan Swaney was appointed development coach.[73]

Squad

The club's AFL Women's 2023 squad is given below. Experienced players lost from the squad were: Elise O'Dea (28 games for Carlton after 28 for Melbourne), who retired;[74] Lucy McEvoy (33 games), who signed with Sydney;[75] Brooke Walker (26 games), who was traded to Essendon;[76] and Natalie Plane (21 games), who was traded to St Kilda in a three-way trade including Richmond;[77] Inaugural Melbourne player Harriet Cordner joined the club from Richmond in the Plane trade.[77]

Carlton was active in the 2023 AFL Women's draft – which was a special over-19s only draft due to the shortened time between the two 2022 AFL Women's seasons[78] – adding Lulu Beatty (pick No. 5) and Madeline Hendrie (pick No. 9) in the first round, Marianna Anthony (pick No. 20) in the second round, and Chloe Wrigley (pick No. 28) in the third round. Carlton also added gaelic footballers Dayna Finn and Erone Fitzpatrick to the list.

Reserves

Carlton fielded reserves teams in the men's and women's competitions during the 2023 season.

Men's

Carlton's men's reserves team contested its sixth VFL season; and its 86th overall season of reserves and state level competition dating back to 1919.

Club Head of Development Luke Power took over as the reserves coach after 2021–22 coach Daniel O'Keefe departed.[85] VFL-listed players newly signed to the team included: former AFL senior players Luke Parks (Carlton), Liam McMahon (Collingwood) and Ben Ronke (Sydney); and Sam Grant, Blake Kuipers, Ethan Bentley, Jed Brereton, Charlie Brauer, Noah Barnes, Nathan Scollo, Ben Moyle, Will White, Jack Maruff, Jack Lefroy and Eli Pearce. Retained from the 2022 squad were Ben Crocker, Zavier Maher, Heath Ramshaw, Michael Lewis, Mitch Moschetti, Tyreece Lieu, Patrick Dozzi, Ned Cahill, Hayden Gill, Archie Stevens, Logan Prout, Aiden Mills, Darcy Porter, Hamish Sinnott, Lachlan Swaney. Crocker, in his third season with the team, took over as captain following the departure of Matt Shannon.[86]

The reserves team finished 11th out of 21 clubs with a win-loss record of 10–8 and a percentage of 106.5%. The team narrowly missed the wildcard round, which was played by the teams ranked 7th through 10th, on percentage from the North Melbourne reserves whose percentage was 109.9%. Carlton had been well placed to qualify after the penultimate round, but lost more than 12%pts in a disastrous 127-point loss against minor premiers Gold Coast in the final round.[87] First year senior listed player Jaxon Binns, who did not play a senior game through the year, won the reserves best and fairest.[88]

Women's

The club fielded a team in the VFL Women's competition for the fifth time. Tom Stafford continued as the team's coach for the second season,[89] and Christina Bernardi took over as captain.[90]

The team finished 6th out of 12 in the home-and-away season with an 8–6 record and a league-high percentage of 150.7%, to finish in the last position in the final six; it was a close season overall, with minor premiers Collingwood finishing only one game ahead on 9–5 with a lower percentage. It was the first time Carlton had qualified for the VFL Women's finals,[91] which were played under the Second McIntyre Final Six System.
