As the countdown to the milestone 10th AFLW Season continues, the AFL has today announced Carlton's schedule for practice matches and match simulations.

Free to attend for all fans, Bluebaggers will get their first glimpse at new recruits and draftees in two hit-outs ahead of the season opener at IKON Park against Collingwood on Thursday, August 14. 

The Blues will first host Richmond at IKON Park on Friday, July 25 from 5.00pm in a match simulation, with the format, number of players, game length and number of breaks to be agreed upon by the competing teams.

Then, Carlton will travel to take on GWS at Blacktown International Sportspark on Saturday, August 2 in an official dress rehearsal. 

Practice matches will be live streamed on club websites, with teams announced at 5:30pm AEST the day before each practice match.
