The Blues were a foundation member of the VFL and won 8 flags in the competition's first 50 years. After a 21-year drought - the club would became a force again - following the arrival of the legendary Ron Barassi in 1968. A further 7 premierships would follow up until 1987…often on the back of big name recruits and an even bigger chequebook.

For a powerful club, the sight of Carlton languishing at the bottom of the ladder was not a common sight during the 70s and 80s, but come the ‘90s that’s exactly where the Blues found themselves. 

In this episode - the story behind legendary coach David Parkin relinquishing control as the players took control and how Carlton built a premiership-winning machine off the back of disappoints in '93 and '94.

Guests: David Parkin - Andrew McKay - Mil Hanna - Mike Sheahan
