As Carlton seeks to break a lengthy premiership drought in 2022, it is an appropriate time to look back on the Carlton team that broke a 21-year premiership drought in 1968. Ron Barassi’s determination imbued the 1968 team and with his clever tactical changes it resulted in the ultimate reward for the Blue believers.


This book features:
• over 170 rarely seen photographs and images of some of Carlton’s greatest players
• a photographic contribution from the players: Neil Chandler, Gary Crane, Barry Gill, John Gill, John Goold, Bryan Quirk and Ian Robertson
• a detailed appraisal of what each player contributed towards the 1968 victory
• an insight into Barassi’s coaching and tactics
• a reappraisal of the undervalued & “nerve-shattering” 1968 Grand Final
