Should Carlton be allowed to play home games at Princes Park?

I remember when Carlton packed out Princes Park for the inaugural AFLW match at Collingwood in 2017 and to be honest it feels like a missed opportunity as Carlton could have used it as a stepping stone towards playing home games in the AFL again at Princes Park. Instead the ground has had its capacity further reduced in the following years and the chance of it being able to host AFL games again is now next to zero which is sad as Carlton would be far better off playing home games at Princes Park rather than Docklands Stadium.

There is zero capacity for AFL games there, infrastructure wise and public transport is pretty stretched for AFLW games as it is

Carlton managed to jam 23,000 people into Princes Park for the inaugural AFLW game against Collingwood in 2017 what I'm saying is Carlton should have used this as a stepping stone towards getting the ground back to 25,000 to 30,000 in terms of capacity. Instead they've gone the other way and reduced the capacity to a measly 13,000 which is sad because it's a historic ground and they never should have left it's Ian Collins fault they stopped playing AFL games there in the first place he was never a Carlton man he was merely a soulless corporate.

I'm saying the infrastructure around Princes Park (ie trams, car parks, no train line) do not have the capacity to regularly host games of that magnitude

Strange thread. Carlton don’t want to play there, the AFL don’t want them to play there, and they will never again play there.
