The full playing list will spend two days participating in a range of community activities including hospital, aged care and primary school visits.
The players will also hold a NAB AFL Auskick Superclinic for local school children. Carlton midfielder, Marc Murphy said the Australia Post AFL Community Camp was an important program to help expand Carlton’s presence within regional Victoria.
“The Community Camp is something we look forward to every year because it gives us the chance to be involved with local communities,” he said.
“We don’t often have the opportunity to meet our supporters in the regional areas, so the camp is an important way for us to further promote our Club as well as the AFL.”
The Australia Post AFL Community Camp is part of a national program that will see all AFL Clubs visit communities across Australia, giving locals the opportunity to get close to the AFL at the highest level.
