The 2018 AFL season is the 122nd season in the Australian Football League contested by the Carlton Football Club. The club's women's team also contested its second season of the AFL Women's competition, finishing last out of the eight teams in the competition, and the club will field a team in the VFL Women's competition for the first time.
Club summary
The 2018 AFL season is the 122nd season of the VFL/AFL competition since its inception in 1897; and, having competed in every season, it will also be the 122nd season contested by the Carlton Football Club. Carlton will continue 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. Carlton's primary home ground will continued to be the Melbourne Cricket Ground; traditional home ground Ikon Park continued to serve as the training and administrative base. The club will also field its women's team in the second season of the AFL Women's competition, running in February and March.[1] Ikon Park will serve as the home ground for AFL Women's matches.
Car manufacturer Hyundai, which had been a major sponsor of the club continuously since 2008,[2] and airline Virgin Australia, which had upgraded from a secondary sponsor to a major sponsor during the 2017 season,[3] continued as the club's two major sponsors, each signing a five-year extension to their existing deals.[4]
Senior Personnel
Mark LoGiudice will continue as club president, a role he has held since June 2014.[5] CEO Steven Trigg resigned shortly after the 2017 season, and he was replaced by Richmond Chief Customer Officer Cain Liddle.[6]
Brendon Bolton continued as club coach for his third season in the role. The club's coaching staff underwent some changes and expansions before the 2018 season. Director of Coaching Neil Craig retired from the football industry at the end of 2017 after more than four decades as a player and coach;[7] John Barker took over as the club's head of strategy. Former player and development coach David Teague, who had been most recently serving as forward-line coach at Adelaide, returned to Carlton as an assistant coach,[8] and former Melbourne player Cameron Bruce, who had most recently served as defensive coach at Hawthorn and had worked there with Brendan Bolton, joined Carlton as defensive coach. Recently retired Essendon midfielder Brent Stanton and Geelong Football League coach Jason Davenport both joined the club as development coaches.[9]
Marc Murphy retained his position as club captain for the sixth season. Kade Simpson stepped down as vice-captain after nine years in the role, but remained in the leadership group. Patrick Cripps and Sam Docherty named joint vice captains in his place – Docherty's nomination coming despite having already suffered a season-ending knee injury prior to the announcement. The rest of the extended leadership group comprised Ed Curnow, who held his place in the group from 2017, and Matthew Kreuzer, Lachie Plowman and (despite being on the rookie list) Alex Silvagni, who were all newly elevated, replacing Dennis Armfield and Bryce Gibbs, who both left the club at the end of 2017.[10]

Playing list changes
The following summarises all player changes which occurred after the 2017 season. Unless otherwise noted, draft picks refer to selections in the 2017 AFL draft.
As in the 2016/17 offseason, Bryce Gibbs was linked to Adelaide during the trade period. Originally South Australian, Gibbs was three years into a five-year contract, but sought a return to Adelaide for family reasons, nominating the Adelaide Crows as his preferred destination.[13] No deal had been reached during the 2016/17 offseason, but successful negotiations in this offseason saw Gibbs traded to Adelaide for draft picks. Carlton made three recruits during the trade period, and entered the 2017 draft with two selections in the top ten.

Women's teams
AFL Women's
- Squad
Key recruitments to the Carlton AFLW squad in the trade period were Brisbane marquee signing Tayla Harris and Collingwood best-and-fairest winner Nicola Stevens. Former first-round draft pick Bianca Jakobsson was traded to Melbourne, and Nat Exon and Bella Ayre were traded to Brisbane.[44] Owing to traded draft picks, Carlton's top selection in the AFLW draft was in the second round (No. 12 overall), used to select Georgia Gee. Altogether, eleven new players joined the Carlton AFLW squad for 2018.[45] Brianna Davey was made captain of the team, having been a vice-captain in its first season; inaugural captain Lauren Arnell became vice-captain alongside Sarah Hosking.[46] Damien Keeping continued as the team's coach for the second season, with assistant coach Nick Rutley also filling in as match day senior coach in two matches when Keeping was absent due to illness.[47]
The following is the final senior squad as announced at the start of the season. Numbers in parentheses represent games played and goals kicked for Carlton in the season. Only supplementary players who played a senior match during the season are listed.

- Season summary
The team won its first two matches of the season, before falling dramatically from form to lose its last five games – mostly by wide margins – and finish last in the competition. Part of the club's on-field fall from grace was attributed to the season-ending knee injury suffered by captain Brianna Davey in round two.[49][50]

- Notable events
VFL Women's
Prior to the 2018 season, Carlton was one of six AFL clubs granted a licence in the VFL Women's competition, as part of a significant reconfiguration of that competition which saw all Victorian-based AFL clubs taking a direct or affiliative involvement in a VFLW team. Carlton will field a women's team, branded as the Carlton Blues, in the VFLW competition from the 2018 season onwards.[58]
Northern Blues
The Carlton Football Club will a full affiliation with the Northern Blues during the 2018 season. It will be the sixteenth season of the clubs' affiliation, which had been in place since 2003. Carlton senior- and rookie-listed players who are not selected to play in the Carlton team will be eligible to play for the Northern Blues senior team in the Victorian Football League.
