I hope Dodoro gets an interview. Gee that would upset people.

Over 100 interviews were conducted. It should be really good.

It just warms my heart that there’s so much footage of Dick Reynolds getting interviewed and talking about the old days. He loved a chat. And there’s sure to be plenty of him in the doco.

Makes up for so little of Coleman and Hutchison.

He's in the trailer

Is there any truth to the rumour that they will be doing a profile of all his jackets in his wardrobe that takes up an entire floor?

Having listened to it he also mentioned they want to have a big show piece game later in the year, to which one of the presenters started humming Carlton’s theme and XC agreed.

Should be Easter Saturday night..get the 2 clubs back into a traditional timeslot.

I suppose over the course of the next 12 months, we should be celebrating the significant people in the club's 150 years.

And that has to start with the man who started it all in Alex McCracken.

Morning guys,

I don't want to post on the Main board thread because that just descends into the usual partisan banter.

I love football club history - good, bad, funny, rude. A football club is a unique type of institution that can bring people together who would otherwise have nothing in common, and make them lifelong allies - for about 2 hours a weekend. And likewise, life-long enemies (for 2 hours on a weekend) of other people that they have no other beef with (my brother-in-law is a Carlton member! Despite that, he's actually not a bad guy). A history of a club is a small, focussed snapshot of the history of the community it is based in.

I will certainly be looking out for this, and will watch keenly. (I might even find some new ammunition to throw at some bomber mates).

Holy s**t. A logo I can actually get behind. They actually did it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

At least we're on the rise in our anniversary year.

Who was it a couple of years back who had an absolutely dire season in a significant anniversary year? Might've been the Saints but I can't remember for certain.

Might've been Port Adelaide. They always seem to be having an anniversary year.

25 years in the AFL next season! Haha

They confuse themselves on which club is which and desperately try to convince everyone else that 36 SANFL flags matter. Poor buggers.

I mean, I'm sure it matters to them. I just find it amusing how hard they try to make it matter to everyone else.

Anyone else listen to the ABC interview on the clubs website? Mick Malthouse didn’t miss an opportunity to twist the knife into the players when talking about the drug saga point in history. ‘I don’t want to open old wounds, but….’

Melbourne had a mare for their 150th year anniversary. Finished last and got pumped by over 100 points in their game against Geelong.

There will be a bit of that. It’s unfortunate that the media landscape is still so salty about it that out of 150 years of history they only want to talk about 5 of them.

To be fair to them, it's the only thing of relevance that Essendon has 'done' for nigh on 2 decades now. Sad as it is.

It feels a bit like Cale Hooker's "highlights" reel of chasing Buddy.

A flag would be nice.
