On 3 June, third-year defender [[Josh Bootsma]] was sacked from the club, with a year and a half remaining on his contract. The club's action was in response to an incident in which Bootsma sent explicit photographs over social media application [[Snapchat]], which breached both Carlton's and the AFL's codes of conduct. The club also revealed that Bootsma had a history of problems with behaviour and dedication, having had a history of tardiness at training.

[[Mitch Robinson]] and [{Jeff Garlett]] were involved in a brawl outside a night venue on Lonsdale Street at 5am on the morning of Sunday 3 August, which left Robinson with a fractured eye-socket. Both players were cleared of wrongdoing by police – four other men involved in the brawl were charged with affray – but the players lied to the club about the incident, with Robinson claiming to have fractured his eye-socket in a boxing session at training. As a consequence, the club fined Garlett $2,500 and refused to select him in the senior team for the following week – he had been dropped to the Northern Blues several weeks earlier, and was confirmed by the coaching staff as having shown enough form in the VFL to be brought back to the seniors immediately before the incident – and Robinson was fined $5,000, and did not play again for the season due to his injury.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Age|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC|title=Jeff Garlett in mix for recall, says Mick Malthouse|url=http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/jeff-garlett-in-mix-for-recall-says-mick-malthouse-20140820-1064om.html|author=Jon Pierik|date=20 August 2014|accessdate=1 September 2014}}</ref> |

Club summary
The 2014 AFL season will be the 118th season of the VFL/AFL competition since its inception in 1897; and, having competed in every season, it was also the 118th season contested by the Carlton Football Club. As in previous years, the club's primary home ground was Etihad Stadium, with home games expecting to draw larger crowds played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and with traditional home ground Visy Park serving as the training and administrative base. The club's two joint major sponsors, car manufacturer Hyundai and confectionery company Mars, were unchanged; and, the club extended its deal with Hyundai until 2017.[1] As has been since 1998, Nike will produce and manufacture the club's on-and-off field apparel.[2] Carlton continued 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. The club's membership for the 2014 season was 47,485, a 6.1% reduction from the record membership of 50,561 enjoyed in 2013, making Carlton one of only four clubs to suffer a drop in membership in the 2014 season.[3]
Senior Personnel
Former club champion Stephen Kernahan, who had been club president since August 2008, continued in the role into the start of the 2014 season; but he announced in October 2013 that it would be his last season as president.[4] In April 2014, club vice-president and businessman Mark LoGiudice was announced as Kernahan's successor, and he formally took over the role from 23 June.[5] Club CEO Greg Swann, who had been in the role since March 2007, stepped down at the same time as Kernahan;[6] he was replaced in August by Steven Trigg, who left the Adelaide Crows after having served as CEO there for the previous twelve years.[7]
Mick Malthouse continued in his second season as senior coach; former North Melbourne senior coach Dean Laidley joined his coaching panel as a midfield assistant coach,[8] recently retired Hawthorn player Michael Osborne joined the club as a development coach,[9] and defense assistant coach Gavin Brown left the club to take an assistant coaching role at North Melbourne.[10]
Marc Murphy continued as club captain for his second season in the role, and Andrew Carrazzo and Kade Simpson continued as vice-captains. The other members of the eight-man leadership group, all of whom were not in the group in 2013, were: Michael Jamison (who became deputy vice-captain), Lachlan Henderson, Andrew Walker, Bryce Gibbs and Brock McLean.[11]

- Season records
Notable events
- Special guernsey designs
The club wore three specially-designed guernseys during the season:
- In Rounds 7, 13 and 23, against Collingwood, Hawthorn and Essendon respectively, the club wore its "Heritage Guernsey" as part of sesquicentennial celebrations. This guernsey featured the 1970s-era block-style monogram on the front, and listed the club's premierships years on the back.[69]
- In Round 10 against Adelaide, the club wore the "Member Guernsey" as part of sesquicentennial celebrations. This guernsey featured the 1910s-era script monogram, and featured in small white print the names of members who pledged to appear on it.[70]
- In Round 11 against Brisbane Lions, all clubs in the league wore an Indigenous Guernsey, as part of the AFL's Indigenous Round. Carlton's guernsey was the same as the home guernsey, except it displayed a boomerang underneath the monogram which was white but decorated in the style of aboriginal art; the F in the monogram was likewise decorated.[71]
- Sesquicentennial celebrations
In 2014, the club celebrated the 150th anniversary of its foundation in 1864. The club arranged several events in recognition of the milestone:
- Heritage and member-recognition guernseys were worn at a total of four matches during the season.[69][70]
- On Sunday 3 May, a team of retired Carlton players (mostly from the 1990s era) played against a team of retired Collingwood players from the same era at Visy Park in the "Clash of the Old Foes". Collingwood 9.15 (69) defeated Carlton 7.7 (49) before a crowd of around 1,000, and the gate was donated to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and the E. J. Whitten Foundation for Prostate Cancer Awareness.[72]
- The club held a fan poll to vote on the 25 greatest moments in Carlton Football Club history, with the results revealed at the Round 10 match against Adelaide. The top five moments were:[73]
- The 1970 Grand Final, in which Carlton overcame a 44-point half-time deficit to beat Collingwood.
- The specky taken by Alex Jesaulenko over Collingwood's Graeme Jenkin in the second quarter of the 1970 Grand Final.
- The assist by Wayne Harmes on the game-winning goal by Ken Sheldon in the 1979 Grand Final win against Collingwood.
- The tackle laid by Fraser Brown on Essendon's Dean Wallis in the final minute of Carlton's one-point victory in the 1999 Preliminary Final.
- The 1995 premiership, in which the club won a then-record twenty home-and-away matches.
- The club named the best twelve players in its history, announcing the results on 14 June. The top twelve were, in order: John Nicholls, Stephen Kernahan, Bruce Doull, Alex Jesaulenko, Stephen Silvagni, Craig Bradley, Robert Walls, Wayne Johnston, Geoff Southby, Greg Williams, Ken Hands and Chris Judd.[74]
- Dismissal of Josh Bootsma
On 3 June, third-year defender Josh Bootsma was sacked from the club, with a year and a half remaining on his contract. The club's action was in response to an incident in which Bootsma sent explicit photographs over social media application Snapchat, which breached both Carlton's and the AFL's codes of conduct. The club also revealed that Bootsma had a history of problems with behaviour and dedication, having had a history of tardiness at training. Bootsma had played fourteen games for the club, but none in 2014.[39]
- Suspensions of Mitch Robinson and Jeff Garlett
Mitch Robinson and [{Jeff Garlett]] were involved in a brawl outside a night venue on Lonsdale Street at 5am on the morning of Sunday 3 August, which left Robinson with a fractured eye-socket. Both players were cleared of wrongdoing by police – four other men involved in the brawl were charged with affray – but the players lied to the club about the incident, with Robinson claiming to have fractured his eye-socket in a boxing session at training. As a consequence, the club fined Garlett $2,500 and refused to select him in the senior team for the following week – he had been dropped to the Northern Blues several weeks earlier, and was confirmed by the coaching staff as having shown enough form in the VFL to be brought back to the seniors immediately before the incident – and Robinson was fined $5,000, and did not play again for the season due to his injury.[75]

- Round 2 – Dylan Buckley[78] (nominated)
- Round 16 – Troy Menzel[79] (nominated)
Buckley was Carlton's first Rising Star nominee for more than three years; Carlton's previous nominee, Jeff Garlett (nominated Round 19, 2010) was in fact playing his 100th career game in the same match in which Buckley was nominated.[78]
- Australian Football Hall of Fame
Two former Carlton players were among the six people inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2014:[80]
- Ern Henfry, who played 84 games for Carlton from 1947–1952, twice won the Robert Reynolds Trophy and captained the club to the 1947 premiership
- Anthony Koutoufides, who played 278 games for Carlton from 1992–2007, twice won the Robert Reynolds Trophy and was part of the 1995 premiership team
Northern Bullants
The Carlton Football Club had a full affiliation with the Northern Blues during the 2014 season. It was the twelfth season of the clubs' affiliation, which had been in place since 2003. Carlton senior- and rookie-listed players who were not selected to play in the Carlton team were eligible to play for either the Northern Bullants seniors or reserves team in the Victorian Football League. As in 2013, home games were shared between the VFL club's traditional home ground, Preston City Oval, and Carlton's traditional home ground, Visy Park. The Northern Blues finished 11th out of 16 in the VFL with a record of 7–11, missing the final eight by ten premiership points and percentage.[81]
