The Blues will kick things off at home against the Demons on Friday 9 August, before making the trip over to South Australia for their Practice Match against the Crows on Sunday 18 August. 

In good news for fans attendance to Carlton's game against Adelaide will be free to attend for all fans and will also be streamed live and free via the Club website and app. 

More details around Carlton's Match Simulation Training will be confirmed in the coming weeks. 

With pre-season in full swing, it will be the perfect opportunity for the Blues - new and old - to pull on the boots ahead of their first game against the Hawks on Sunday 1 September. 

It will also give fans their first look at new recruits Lila Keck, Yasmin Duursma, Meg Robertson, Celine Moody and Tarni Brown as they pull on the Navy Blue for the first time. 

After spending the 2023 season on the sideline with injury, it will also be another important milestone for much-loved midfielder Maddy Guerin who is also poised to make her return to the senior level.
