Tonight is Carlton’s annual “Carlton Respects” match, which aims to shine a light on the scourge of family violence and violence against women.
Their players will wear orange socks and the club had a moment before the game where they asked fans to “shine a light” on the 79 women who lost their lives to violence last year.
Both sides will also join fans to honour the memory of Neale Daniher, who died earlier this week.

Carlton Respects
The Carlton Football Club is proud to this week celebrate 10 years of its flagship community initiative Carlton Respects, culminating in tonight’s clash when the Blues take on the Cats at the MCG. Carlton Respects has grown into one of the AFL’s most recognised community initiatives, aiming to stop violence before it starts. Since launching in 2016, Carlton Respects has reached tens of thousands of Australians through education, awareness, and community action. The players will once again wear orange socks and a dedicated guernsey to raise awareness of the social cause.
