Carlton Recruiting

	"One of the great things in footy is to tell a kid when he's going to
	play his first game. But it's very, very difficult to tell a kid he
	has played his last."
		- Colin Kinnear, Chairman of Selectors, September 1993

Carlton Theme Song (sung to the tune of Lily of Laguna)

We are the navy blues
We are the old dark navy blues
We're the team that never lets you down
We're the only team old Carlton knows

With all the champions
They like to send up
We'll keep our ends up
And they will know that they've been playing
Against the famous old dark Blues

I've heard the players sing We'll keep our heads up instead of the version above!
