The media is calling it the most anticipated match of 2013 - the day when Mick Malthouse coaches Carlton against Collingwood for the first time. And while we wait for the complete 2013 fixture to be released later this month, the AFL has confirmed the Blues v Pies match will be played in Round Two.

Unfortunately for Carlton supporters it will be a Collingwood home game. However that does not stop you from reserving your seat for this big game now.

While daily reserved seating for the 2013 AFL season will not go on sale until the New Year, season reserved seating is now on sale and this can include Carlton away games.

The traditional Round One match against Richmond at the MCG on Thursday March 28 to open the season in Melbourne, followed by this round two blockbuster against Collingwood ensures membership with a reserved seat will give you a great start to Carlton’s new era under new coach Mick Malthouse.

For details on the Captains Club Reserved and Members Reserved memberships that include a reserved seat, contact the Carlton Membership Team on 1300 CARLTON (1300 227 586) or log onto www.iamcarlton.com.au.
