The 2020 AFL season is the 124th season in the Australian Football League contested by the Carlton Football Club, and the fourth AFL Women's season contested by its senior women's team. The season is set to be disrupted, and at least partially curtailed, by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Club summary

The 2020 AFL season is the 124th season of the VFL/AFL competition since its inception in 1897; and, having competed in every season, it is also the 124rd season contested by the Carlton Football Club. Contractually, Carlton's primary home ground continued to be the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with many games also to have been played at Marvel Stadium, and traditional home ground Ikon Park continued to serve as the training and administrative base; however, due the coronavirus pandemic forcing games to be moved out of Victoria, the club hosted games at Metricon Stadium and the Gabba in Queensland and Optus Stadium in Perth, hosted no games at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and used the Mercure Gold Coast as a training base for much of the season.[1]

The club fielded its women's team in the fourth season of the AFL Women's competition, running in February and March, and Ikon Park served as the home ground for AFL Women's matches. Carlton continued its alignment with the Northern Blues in the Victorian Football League through the pre-season; but terminated the alignment on 26 March as a cost-saving measure during the coronavirus pandemic; as with all AFL clubs, Carlton had no reserves team or affiliation during the season, and reserves players were restricted to playing scratch matches against other AFL clubs.[2] The VFL Women's season was cancelled due to the pandemic, so the club's VFL Women's team did not compete.[3]

Car manufacturer Hyundai, which had been a major sponsor of the club continuously since 2008,[4] and airline Virgin Australia, which had upgraded from a secondary sponsor to a major sponsor during the 2017 season,[5] continued as the club's two major sponsors, under deals in place until 2022;[6] the latter sponsorship remains in place, despite the airline going into administration during the coronavirus pandemic.[7] The club's long term on- and off-field apparel deal with Nike, which had been in place since 1998,[8][9] came to an end in October 2019,[10] and the club signed a new 10-year apparel deal with PUMA.[11]

The club will again achieve a record membership in 2020, exceeding the full-year 2019 record of 64,269 members in early March, before the season had even begun – as well as before the curtailment of the season was announced.[12] This was the club's third consecutive huge increase in membership numbers, having increased from 50,130 to a then-record 56,005 members in 2018, then to another record of 64,269 in 2019.[13]

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

The 2020 season was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which was formally declared a pandemic on 11 March 2020, eight days prior to the scheduled start of the men's premiership season and prior to Round 6 of the women's season.

Carlton's season endured the following disruptions and special arrangements:

  • The men's season was suspended after Round 1, and will be shortened from the originally scheduled 22 matches to no more than 17 matches.[14] The season did not restart until 11 June.[15]
  • The team was forced to temporarily relocate away from Victoria after Round 5, due to interstate travel restrictions placed on Victorians during the state's second wave of the virus in July.[16] The club set up a base at the Mercure Gold Coast hub in south-east Queensland starting from Round 6, and travelled to Perth for a one-month hub from Round 9 to 12.[1]
  • The women's home-and-away season was shortened from eight matches to six. Three weeks of finals were to follow, but only one was played before the season was cancelled.[17]
  • Matches were played in empty stadiums, or in front of restricted-sized crowds, in response to government-imposed restrictions imposed on public gatherings.[18][19]
  • The start of the 2020 VFL season was delayed,[20] before AFL-listed players were excluded from competing in state league competitions altogether, to keep players in the fully professional environment for tighter medical and quarantine controls.[21] As a result, Carlton reserves players were restricted only to training, or playing scratch matches against other AFL clubs.[2]

Carlton, along with all AFL clubs, were forced to find significant cost savings to cover the loss of revenue, which in Carlton's case included gate and broadcast revenue from closed and cancelled games, as well as gaming revenue as a result of non-essential venue closures across the country;[22] the club is also expected to suffer financially as a result of joint major sponsor Virgin Australia being placed into administration, itself severely affected by travel restrictions imposed during the pandemic, although the club's partnership with Virgin will continue as long as the airline operates.[7]

Among the cost saving decisions, Carlton ended its 18-year association with its VFL-affiliate, the Northern Blues, in late March; the club had been investing significant money in building up the club as a development ground for its reserves and a senior development pathway for the northern suburbs; but with money tight, opted to end the affiliation and adopt a lower-cost strategy of re-establishing a stand-alone reserves team, which would contest the VFL at the next opportunity. The Northern Blues club, which was entirely dependent on Carlton's financial support to remain viable as an entity, was immediately wound up.[23] As with all other clubs, most of the club's workforce was stood down during the height of the pandemic.[24]

During July, while based interstate, the club was fined $45,000 for an inadvertent breach of COVID-19 protocols when one member of the travelling party sought childcare services outside the league's quarantine bubble.[25]

Senior Personnel

Mark LoGiudice continued as club president, a role he has held since June 2014.[26]

David Teague entered his first full season as the appointed senior coach of the club, having served as caretaker during the second half of 2019 after Brendon Bolton was sacked.[27] Teague was appointed senior coach on a three-year contract with two rounds remaining in the 2019 season.[28] To the coaching panel over the preseason were added: Sydney assistant coach Henry Playfair, who became head of coaching performance; AFL Academy manager Luke Power, who became head of development; and Geelong Falcons coach Daniel O'Keefe in a development coaching role.[29] Power replaced Shane Watson, who departed after four years with the club.[30] Following the trade and draft periods, general manager of List Management and Strategy Stephen Silvagni departed the club after five years in the role.[31] The financial pressure of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the termination of the affiliation with the Northern Blues, resulted in Northern coach Josh Fraser being terminated.

Patrick Cripps and Sam Docherty continued in their roles as joint captains for the second consecutive season.[32]

Playing list changes

The following summarises all player changes which occurred after the 2019 season. Unless otherwise noted, draft picks refer to selections in the 2019 National Draft.

The club was active in negotiations during the trading period, although ultimately executed only three trades for low picks, which included the return of life member Eddie Betts, returning to the club after six years with Adelaide. The club was involved in negotiations to secure Tom Papley from Sydney, but the deal was partly contingent on Sydney securing Essendon's Joe Daniher in a separate trade which ultimately fell through.[35] Carlton also negotiated actively with Gold Coast to trade for uncontracted Jack Martin, offering a second-round draft pick and unable to meet Gold Coast's demands of a first round draft pick;[36] Martin then walked out on the Suns, and Carlton signed him on a five-year $3m contract through the pre-season draft – with the contract heavily front-ended in such a way that Gold Coast, who had an earlier selection in the draft but insufficient salary cap space, couldn't redraft him.[37]

Season summary

Pre-season

The club played three full-length practice matches in the lead-up to the season and prior to the announcement of the season's curtailment. The matches against Fremantle and Brisbane were scheduled as part of the Marsh Community Series, and the match against Collingwood was arranged between the clubs in late January with the gold coin entry donation fee serving as a fundraiser for the 2019–20 Australian bushfire relief effort.[57]

Home and away season

Owing to the curtailment of the AFL season and uncertainty in the fixture, portions of the fixture were gradually released during the year, and sometimes changed at short notice. Short notice fixture changes which affected Carlton were:

  • On the Monday prior to Round 5, Carlton's Saturday game against St Kilda was rescheduled to Thursday night, to fill the television timeslot left by a cancelled Richmond vs West Coast match; the venue was changed from the Melbourne Cricket Ground to Marvel Stadium.[61]

Team awards and records
Game records and awards

Several marks in low scoring were set across the AFL during the season, in large part due to matches being played with 16 minute quarters instead of 20 minute quarters.

  • Round 4 – Carlton's score of 7.10 (52) against Essendon was its lowest winning score since Round 12, 1989.[72]
  • Round 4 – the club won the Madden Cup as winners of its rivalry game against Essendon.[73]
  • Round 12 – Carlton's score of 5.10 (40) in wet conditions against Fremantle was its lowest winning score since Round 12, 1977.[72]
  • Round 12 – The aggregate score of 76 points in the match against Fremantle was the lowest in any Carlton game since Round 12, 1977.[72]
Game events
  • Round 7 – Carlton lost by three points against Port Adelaide after Robbie Gray (Port Adelaide) kicked a goal after the final siren, from a 45m set shot near the boundary line. It was the first time Carlton had lost on an after-the-siren kick since Round 10, 2002.[67]
  • Round 12 – Carlton won by four points against Fremantle after Jack Newnes kicked a goal after the final siren, from a 45m set shot outside the boundary line. It was the first time Carlton had won on an after-the-siren kick since Round 22, 1987.[71]
