They are really only the Carlton seconds and apart from playing a couple of token games at the former Preston ground tho keep the council on side they have very little to show as the Preston FC FFS they play in Blue jumpers.

I dont know why the VFL/AFL Victoria(sic) let this charade happen and they wonder why the sporting public have switched off the current so called VFL

They save a heap of money by trading as Northern instead of Carlton. A good arrangement it you can get it!

The funny thing is they were only supposed to be playing if I'm
Correct 3 home games at cramers?

I think they have already played at least 3 by this time next week. I think they realise nobody wants to go to visy park

I still have no idea why they felt they needed to rebrand.

From my understanding they have a fair few full timers working out of cramers st anyway?

A baffling decision to rename the club and redesign the jumper, in my opinion. If they hoped huge crowds of Blues supporters would flock to Princes Park to see Northern play once they were rebranded to be closer to the AwFuL side, they were both very wrong and very stupid! I unfortunately see little hope of reverting to the VFA moniker and strip, but I still can't see what the need was to change anyway!
