The 2014 Carlton Football Club season was the Carlton Football Club's 151st season of competition, and 118th as a member of the Australian Football League, and served as a celebration of the sesquicentenary of the club's foundation in 1864. The club finished thirteenth out of eighteen clubs in the 2014 AFL season.

Club summary

The 2014 AFL season was the 118th season of the VFL/AFL competition since its inception in 1897; and, having competed in every season, it was also the 118th season contested by the Carlton Football Club. As in previous years, the club's primary home ground was Etihad Stadium, with home games expecting to draw larger crowds played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and with traditional home ground Visy Park serving as the training and administrative base. The club's two joint major sponsors, car manufacturer Hyundai and confectionery company Mars, were unchanged; and, the club extended its deal with Hyundai until 2017.[1] As has been since 1998, Nike will produce and manufacture the club's on-and-off field apparel.[2] Carlton continued its alignment with the Northern Blues in the Victorian Football League, allowing Carlton-listed players to play with the Northern Blues when not selected in AFL matches. The club's membership for the 2014 season was 47,485, a 6.1% reduction from the record membership of 50,561 enjoyed in 2013, making Carlton one of only four clubs to suffer a drop in membership in the 2014 season;[3] the club also posted as $1,600,000 operating loss. Both of these were in part blamed on the club's experimental fixture, which including four games in the non-traditional Sunday night timeslot, and the negative effect of the club's 0–4 start to the season.[4]

Senior personnel

Former club champion Stephen Kernahan, who had been club president since August 2008, continued in the role into the start of the 2014 season; but he announced in October 2013 that it would be his last season as president.[5] In April 2014, club vice-president and businessman Mark LoGiudice was announced as Kernahan's successor, and he formally took over the role from 23 June.[6] Club CEO Greg Swann, who had been in the role since March 2007, stepped down at the same time as Kernahan;[7] he was replaced in August by Steven Trigg, who left the Adelaide Crows after having served as CEO there for the previous twelve years.[8]

Mick Malthouse continued in his second season as senior coach; former senior coach Dean Laidley joined his coaching panel as a midfield assistant coach,[9] recently retired player Michael Osborne joined the club as a development coach,[10] and defense assistant coach Gavin Brown left the club to take an assistant coaching role at .[11]

Marc Murphy continued as club captain for his second season in the role, and Andrew Carrazzo and Kade Simpson continued as vice-captains. The other members of the eight-man leadership group, all of whom were not in the group in 2013, were: Michael Jamison (who became deputy vice-captain), Lachlan Henderson, Andrew Walker, Bryce Gibbs and Brock McLean.[12]

Notable events

Special guernsey designsThe club wore three specially-designed guernseys during the season:
Sesquicentennial celebrationsIn 2014, the club celebrated the 150th anniversary of its foundation in 1864. The club arranged several events in recognition of the milestone:
  1. The 1970 Grand Final, in which Carlton overcame a 44-point half-time deficit to beat .
  2. The specky taken by Alex Jesaulenko over 's Graeme Jenkin in the second quarter of the 1970 Grand Final.
  3. The assist by Wayne Harmes on the game-winning goal by Ken Sheldon in the 1979 Grand Final win against .
  4. The tackle laid by Fraser Brown on 's Dean Wallis in the final minute of Carlton's one-point victory in the 1999 Preliminary Final.
  5. The 1995 premiership, in which the club won a then-record twenty home-and-away matches.
Dismissal of Josh BootsmaOn 3 June, third-year defender Josh Bootsma was sacked from the club, with a year and a half remaining on his contract. The club's action was in response to an incident in which Bootsma sent explicit photographs over social media application Snapchat, which breached both Carlton's and the AFL's codes of conduct. The club also revealed that Bootsma had a history of problems with behaviour and dedication, having had a history of tardiness at training. Bootsma had played fourteen games for the club, but none in 2014.
Suspensions of Mitch Robinson and Jeff GarlettMitch Robinson and Jeff Garlett were involved in a brawl outside a night venue on Lonsdale Street at 5am on the morning of Sunday 3 August, which left Robinson with a fractured eye-socket. The players lied to the club about the incident, with Robinson claiming to have fractured his eye-socket in a boxing session at training. As a consequence, the club fined Garlett $2,500 and refused to select him in the senior team for the following week – he had been dropped to the Northern Blues several weeks earlier, and was confirmed by the coaching staff as having shown enough form in the VFL to be brought back to the seniors immediately before the incident – and Robinson was fined $5,000, and did not play again for the season due to his injury.[75] Neither player played another game for the club, as both were put up for trade at the end of the season: Garlett was traded to,[76] and Robinson was delisted after no deal was secured.[77]

Robinson was cleared of wrongdoing by police, and Garlett pleated guilty to behaving in a riotous manner.[78] The men on the other side of the attack pleaded guilty to affray and recklessly causing injury to Robinson, and were sentenced to 300 hours' community service.[79]

Carlton senior- and rookie-listed players who were not selected to play in the Carlton team were eligible to play for either the Northern Bullants seniors or reserves team in the Victorian Football League. As in 2013, home games were shared between the VFL club's traditional home ground, Preston City Oval, and Carlton's traditional home ground, Visy Park. The Northern Blues finished 11th out of 16 in the VFL with a record of 7–11, missing the final eight by ten premiership points and percentage.[91]
