Carlton’s VFLW side will play four home games at La Trobe University in 2019, with next year’s fixture announced earlier today.

Over the course of the 16-round season, the Blues will play the majority of their games at the Bundoora ground, with another three to take place at Ikon Park.

A platinum partner of Carlton’s AFLW team, it’s another sign of the burgeoning partnership between the two organisations and the dual investment to developing women’s football.

The Blues will play their first game at the venue in Round 5, when they host the NT Thunder. The remaining three games will be against Hawthorn (Round 10), Richmond (Round 14) and Darebin (Round 15).
