Thousands of Blues fans braved the heat on Sunday for a chance to meet their favourite players at VISY Park.

Formerly known as Family Day, the Carlton Carnival is one of the biggest days on Carlton's social calendar.

Senior Coach Mick Malthouse made his first public address to the Blues faithful and Eddie Betts delighted the crowd when he took to the stage with three month old son, Lewis.

CFC TV reporter Michelle Trewartha was on hand to capture all the action.
