Ring of Honour: Andrew Carrazzo
Carlton’s 2007 John Nicholls Medallist, Andrew Carrazzo, will ring the historic old Blue bell at the top of Carlton’s race 15 minutes prior to the first bounce, before being inducted into the Carlton Ring of Honour on Sunday afternoon.
Carrazzo played 194 games for the Blues after making his debut against Melbourne in Round 21, 2004. The midfielder, who retired at the end of last year, regularly appeared in the Blues leadership group, and took home the Best Clubman award in 2008. Carrazzo played in two pre-season premierships for Carlton, and in 2011 the fan favourite was awarded Life Membership.

In addition, through our multicultural ambassadors, Carlton has a significant amount of key people from the multicultural community attending the game, including the Sri Lankan community band – make sure you listen out for them!

Community Champion:
The Club’s ‘Community Champions’ for Round 16 are Bec Harris and Ellie Bradbeer. They are both passionate teachers from Carlton Primary School who do terrific work with migrant refugee communities, in particular those from the Horn of Africa.
