  Carlton Football Club: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
The Carlton Football Club, nicknamed The Blues for their dark blue playing colors, is one of the oldest, richest, and most successful Australian rules football clubs.
Formed in 1864, it originally played in the Victorian Football Association competition, and was one of the formation members of the breakaway Victorian Football League[?] in 1897, which became the Australian Football League in the 1980s.
The club underwent both off-field and on-field turmoil in 2002, when the club finished last for the first time in its history, and mounting losses and accounting irregularities finally caught up with club president John Elliott[?] who was forced off the board by a vote of its members.

 Carlton Part 1
Despite all this, at the end of the 1896 season Carlton was invited by the VFA's strongest and richest half a dozen clubs to join a breakaway competition to be known as the Victorian Football League.
When the VFL got underway in 1897 it consisted of 8 clubs, St Kilda having also been asked to join - a fortuitous circumstance as far as the Blues were concerned as their only two wins for the year came at the expense of the team from the Junction Oval.
Carlton were now very much the pre-eminent force in VFL football and with 1908 being regarded as Australian football's official jubilee year Worrall had an additional incentive - if one were needed - to maintain the momentum.
