The 2025 Carlton Football Club season will be the Carlton Football Club's 162nd season of competition.

Contents

It was the club's men's team's 129th season as a member of the Australian Football League, and the fourth under senior coach Michael Voss; and, in a decline from the prior three seasons, Carlton finished the season 11th with a win-loss record of 9–14, more than five games short of a finals berth. The club's women's team will contest its tenth season in the AFL Women's. The club also fielded its men's reserves team in the Victorian Football League and its state level women's team in the VFL Women's, failing to reach finals in either competition.

Club summary

The 2025 AFL season will be the 129th season of the VFL/AFL competition since its inception in 1897; and, having competed in every season, it will also be the 129th season contested by the Carlton Football Club. The club will field its women's team in the tenth season of the AFL Women's competition, its men's reserves team in its eighth Victorian Football League season, and its VFL women's team in its seventh VFL Women's season.

Carlton's primary home ground will be the Melbourne Cricket Ground and secondary home ground will be Marvel Stadium, with the team playing six home games at the former and five at the latter. [1] This was a reversal of the distribution from prior years, coming after its six-games-per-year deal at Marvel Stadium expired at the end of 2024 [2] and as the result of successful lobbying to the AFL for an extra game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. [3] Traditional home ground Ikon Park continued to serve as the training and administrative base, and as the home ground for AFL Women's and the men's reserves matches.

Car manufacturer Hyundai, which had been a major sponsor of the club continuously since 2008, [4] and Great Southern Bank, which became a major sponsor during the 2021 season, continued as the club's major sponsors through the 2024 season; [5] in March, Great Southern Bank signed an extension to its major sponsorship of the club through until the end of 2027. [6]

Senior personnel

Luke Sayers was initially set to continue in his fourth year as president, but he stepped down on 22 January. Sayers departure came two weeks after a lewd image was posted on Sayers' X account, tagging a female board member of one of the club's sponsors; Sayers claimed, and an AFL investigations subsequently confirmed, that his account had been hacked and that Sayers had not posted the image himself, but he nonetheless elected to step down after those investigations were complete. Robert Priestley and Patty Kinnersly stepped in as interim co-presidents, [7] before Priestley was appointed president on 7 February. At the time of appointment, Priestley was chairman of J. P. Morgan Australia and New Zealand. [8]

Brian Cook served his fourth and final year as CEO, and Collingwood general manager of football Graham Wright was appointed deputy CEO under a succession plan which saw him take over from Cook on 15 August. [9]

Michael Voss continued in his fourth year as senior coach of the club. Patrick Cripps continued in his fourth year as sole club captain and seventh year overall (having served as co-captain with Sam Docherty for three years). The broader leadership group was also unchanged from 2024, with Charlie Curnow, Sam Walsh and Jacob Weitering continuing in the roles. [10]

Playing list changes

The following summarises all player changes which occurred after the 2024 season. Unless otherwise noted, draft picks refer to selections in the 2024 national draft.

Carlton took an active role in trading for draft picks during the trade period, trading up in the first round to secure midfielder Jagga Smith, and trading down to ensure it could meet father-son rule bids on Ben and Lucas Camporeale, twin sons of 1990s player Scott.

Home-and-away season

After being the league's best performing club between mid-2023 and mid-2024, before falling away with a 2–8 end to the 2024 season, external expectations of Carlton's prospects were mixed entering 2025: bookmakers had Carlton at equal fourth favourite for the premiership, [34] while many pundits predicted Carlton would miss the finals. [35] [36]

The season began poorly against 2024 wooden spooners Richmond, Carlton losing by 13 points after having squandered a 41-point second quarter lead; [37] such was the negative reaction that the club swiftly postponed membership drive activities which had been planned on the SEN 1116 radio network for the following day. [38] Three more losses followed, and Carlton was 16th on the ladder with a 0–4 start to the year. The next two months were more successful, and after winning six of the next nine games, Carlton was sitting tenth with a 6–7 record and competitive percentage. Up to this point, Carlton had been consistently much stronger in the first halves of matches and prone to second-half fadeouts: they had led at half time in eleven of thirteen matches, with a first half percentage of 139.2; but won only three second halves with a percentage of only 80.6. [39] Through this time, the club was recognised and lauded for its defensive performance and structure, which to this point saw it among the top three clubs in the league for fewest points conceded, lowest chain-to-scoring percentage against, and highest rebound-to-inside-50 percentage; but was criticised for the quality of its inside-50 kicks, with the club ranking a distant last in the league in that metric. [40]

Rounds 15 and 16 were pivotal, as they saw back-to-back disappointing losses against weaker opponents which all but ended any realistic chance of playing finals: in round 15 against 16th-placed North Melbourne, Carlton lost by 11 points, after having trailed by as much as 46 points; [41] and in round 16 against 12th-placed Port Adelaide, Carlton lost by 50 points, after managing only one goal in the first half. [42] The club's late season results went on to be much poorer than the early half of the season, Carlton ultimately winning only three of its final ten matches, and declining significantly in the ball movement and defensive metrics it had excelled in during the first half of the year. [43]

The club's final record was 9–14, for an eleventh-place finish. Results were relatively consistent with ladder position: Carlton's record against the top ten was 1–11, the sole win coming in round 7 against Geelong; [44] and its record against the bottom seven was 8–3.

Individual awards and records

Leading goalkickers

Charlie Curnow was the club's leading goalkicker for the fourth consecutive time and fifth time overall, kicking 32 goals. Unlike the previous three years, when he had twice won and once finished second for the Coleman Medal, Curnow was not competitive among the league's top goalkickers in 2025. Tied for second place were: midfielder-forward Zac Williams with the highest goalkicking return of his career to date; and key forward Harry McKay, despite missing almost half of the season. [64]

AFL Women's

From the 2024 squad during the 2024–25 AFL Women's player movement period, Carlton lost experienced players Jess Dal Poss and Celine Moody to retirement, with Dal Pos remaining with the club as the forwards assistant coach [67] [68] ; and delisted Marianna Anthony and Tahlia Read; [69] while Kerryn Peterson, captain of the team for the previous six seasons, was out of the squad for the 2025 season on pregnancy leave. [70] Carlton added former Gold Coast captain Tara Bohanna to the squad during the trade period, [71] drafted Poppy Scholz, Loulou Field and Sophie McKay (daughter of Andrew McKay under the father-daughter rule and sister to Abbie) in the draft, and added Irish recruit Maria Cannon and former VFL Women's team captain Eliza Wood as supplemental signings. [68] [70]

Reserves

Carlton will field reserves and state level teams in the men's and women's competitions during the 2024 season.

Men's

Carlton's men's reserves team will contest its eighth VFL season; and its 88th overall season of reserves and state level competition dating back to 1919.

Club head of development Luke Power continued as reserves coach for his third season in the role. VFL-listed players newly signed to the team included: former AFL-listed senior players Denver Grainger-Barras (Hawthorn), Cooper Hamilton (GWS), Ethan Phillips (Hawthorn) and Cooper Vickery (Sydney); and Liam Farrar, Taj Logan, Zac Harding, Nash King, Stirling Phipps-Parsons, Jack Polkinghorne and Oliver Warburton. Retained from 2024 were Ollie Badr, Patrick Dozzi, Kristian Ferronato, Dane Harvey, Will Hayes, Darcy Hogg, Michael Lewis, Liam McMahon, Aiden Mills, Luke Nelson, Oliver Poole, Logan Prout, Heath Ramshaw, Flynn Riley and Archie Stevens. Liam McMahon and Heath Ramshaw were appointed co-captains following the departures of 2024 captains Lachie Young and Lachie Swaney; [75] and Ramshaw became the sole captain when McMahon departed for the Essendon senior team in the AFL mid-season draft. [76]

Carlton's reserves finished 13th out of 21 clubs in the 2025 VFL season, with a record of 8–10 to miss the finals by two wins and percentage. [77]

Women's

The club will field a team in the VFL Women's competition for the seventh time. Aasta O'Connor, who had been at the club as an AFL Women's assistant coach since 2022, took over from Glenn Strachan as VFL Women's senior coach; Strachan stepped back into an onfield performance and strategy role for the team. [78] Octavia di Donato continued in her second season as captain and first as sole captain, with 2024 co-captain Eliza Wood joining the club's AFL Women's list. [79]

Carlton finished tenth out of twelve clubs in the 2025 VFL Women's season to miss the finals, with a record of 4–10. [80] 19-year-old Amy Trindade won the team's best and fairest award. [81]
