Finals droughts
From Blueseum - History of the Carlton Football Club
In amongst all of the great wins and news, the Blues have also had some massive downers as we all know - particularly recent fans. This page tracks finals droughts in the form of whole seasons without a finals game. For example, our drought breaking emergence in 2023 was after 9 whole years without a final.... 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. One could most definitely say '10 years since our last final'.
