CARLTON fans will get the chance to see their players train in both Victoria and Queensland before the year is out.
Kickstarting a big final week on the Blues’ pre-season calendar, it all begins with Carlton’s final 2024 session in Melbourne.
Taking place at La Trobe University in Bundoora, the Friday 13 December session will begin from 9:30am AEDT and run until 12pm, with a pop-up store from The Carlton Shop as well as rampant rumours of a Santa sighting for all the family to take a free portrait photo with in the lead-up to Christmas.
There will also be a short signing period post-session.
Food and beverages will be available courtesy of our friends at Barkly Smokehouse, while there will be poster giveaways with every purchase at The Carlton Shop and the chance to write Christmas letters to your favourite player.
More details can be found at the bottom of this article, including parking details: given construction around the area, additional time to get to the precinct is recommended.
The Blues will back that up two days later for their opening session of the Sunshine Coast pre-season camp.
Including a signing session, the Sunday 15 December training takes place from 2-3pm AEST at the Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex.
Thanks to the Queensland Supporter Group, food and beverage will be available from 1:30pm.
Registration is strongly recommended for both sessions.
