1998 Summary

Carlton endured their second year in succession out of the finals despite a list still containing a bevy of 1995 Premiership Players and a host of champions including Ratten, Koutoufides and Silvagni.

Although we started with a win in Round 1, the Blues lost 8 in succession before rebounding with a win in Round 10. Three wins to end the season against St Kilda, Collingwood and Port may have given the boys some confidence, perhaps underpinning the huge return to the Finals we all enjoyed in 1999.

Carlton finished 11th in 1998, an identical result to 1997.
