OUT in full voice.
Once again, the Bluebaggers showed their passion at the MCG on Sunday.
A crowd of 55,593 packed into the home of footy on Sunday afternoon, with a distinctly large percentage of those decked out in Navy Blue.
In doing so, it elevated the Blues’ home attendance to 51,330: fourth in the competition.
Significantly, compared to Carlton’s three-win season, the top three teams for crowd attendances this season occupied the top three positions on the AFL ladder last year.
On the back of a record membership tally, the current home crowd attendance is the Club’s biggest since 2011: Carlton’s biggest on record.
It’s also comfortably the biggest average growth compared to 2018, with Carlton’s crowd seeing an average of 19,555 more supporters at the ground this year.
It always pays to come watch the team train!

The influence of the crowd couldn’t be understated, with David Teague once again crediting the fans with their voice in another final-quarter fightback.
“When the crowd gets behind them and we get a run on, we’re really dangerous,” Teague said.
“I had belief in the players, they had belief: you could see in the way we’re talking. Again, a big crowd got behind them.”
