24.01.2022 We are pleased to say that we are going to be part of the OM Open 2020-21 Summer Competition!! It has been a long time since we played our last match, so we can’t wait to get back on the pitch. Start dates are obviously still to be confirmed due to government restrictions. End dates will be confirmed based on council allocations and participating club alignment. Once we have the restrictions eased, we are going to be back on the training ground to get ready for the tournament.... Stay tuned for more updates soon! A massive thanks to @oldmelburnianssc for organising this !! C’mon Carlton! #carltonazzurri #bluedonkeys

14.01.2022 Just because today is the birthday of one of our Colombian super stars, we decided to remember this terrific tackle from Yeison Vilaró in the Yamagata Cup final last year. I don't think it was a foul, do you? Vamo Carlton!! Feliz Cumple, Yeison!! #carltonazzurri... *we received confirmation that the Clube player was released from hospital yesterday

10.01.2022 Thanks again to the organisers of the OM Open! Can’t wait to play again.

02.01.2022 While we wait for restrictions to ease so we can get back on the pitch, we are stuck with adding the Blue Donkeys to video games. On PES 2021, we had a clash against Manchester United. Ole's team had a quite tough mission dealing with our guys And on Football Manager, our legend Andre McNamara got a deal with Melbourne City. Of course we are waiting the compensation $$$ for the transfer ... #bluedonkeys #carltonazzurri

01.01.2022 For me and millions of others Maradona was more than a football hero, so much so that we called him D10S. You might hear a lot of negativity in the English lang...uage media today. A heavy focus on Maradona the cheat / the addict more than the positive aspects of his amazing life story. Please do not let that part of Maradona’s life overshadow his great legacy. I grew up in Australia but watched Maradona play for the great Napoli side of the 80s weekly without fail. Mostly this was highlights on SBS up to a week after the games were played or often by listening to games live on Italian radio. This was a ritual my father and I took part in the middle of the night due to the time difference. Diego was central to the bond with my late Father, who himself was a migrant from the Campania region near Naples. Diego Armando Maradona was a focal point of our every conversation about football in a family who supported Napoli. In fact in my father's last days we even talked jokingly in the hospital about whether he would be buried with his Maradona scarf. The Maradona legacy went well beyond football for me personally. As a child it helped give me context about the world we live in. Dad would talk of our relatives who migrated to Argentina and elsewhere while we ended up in Australia. He explained how life came full circle when a great footballer from Latin America like Diego joined a club like Napoli. Landing right in the place that was the source of so much historic migration from Italy to Argentina. It was poetic that the new king of Naples was this man from Argentina named Diego. Napoli had managed to get the greatest player in the world at the time. When he arrived there was a full San Paolo stadium just to greet him and that stadium may soon be renamed for him. He had been written off at Barcelona due mostly to injury and needed a fresh start. They were wrong to write him off. Diego was not unaccustomed to adversity, he was born into poverty and suffered all the discrimination and problems that come along with that. Diego was resilient and ultimately overcame the challenges life threw at him. Along the way he stumbled, he made mistakes, he was human just like the rest of us. This was also a part of what made him special rather than a flawless hero. In football in the 80s the tackle from behind was not a red card offence, it was effectively a tactic. He had his legs swept out from under him again and again. He would spring back up again and spoke of how it was a compliment from the opposition to be shut down in a match that way. Watch a video of him versus Claudio Gentile in the World Cup if you don’t believe me. Diego had an ability to inspire and lead those around him to success. He was actually very unselfish as a footballer. Often providing assists for team mates and always putting emphasis on the team and the collective success of the group. Maradona lived every moment with emotion, and of course he had all the famous outbursts that go along with that. If you follow his career closely you can see proof that in being an authentically passionate person he still maintained the respect of his teammates and players. The documentary of his time coaching Dorados in Mexico is a great insight into this. He always gave his heart and soul for the cause, in doing so he could bring out the best in others. Diego Maradona took Napoli from a competitor to a winning club in Italy and Europe. What he achieved there was truly incredible and he is forever the king of Naples to Napoli fans. Where winning felt impossible he brought success. He showed love and respect for the fans and the city. He defended them passionately on and off the pitch. In the middle of his time at Napoli Diego took his beloved Argentina to World Cup success. Over the entire tournament what he achieved was incredible and there are some moments of pure brilliance. You will hear a lot about the hand of God moment today. That moment was controversial but not pivotal in his journey to lifting a World Cup for Argentina. Take a look at his highlights over the whole tournament instead, he truly led his nation to World Cup glory in 1986. Some these days may discredit the merit of international football but at the time this was the undisputed highest accolade in the game. I have a forged many friendships over the years with fans of Maradona all around the world. Those who see past the controversy and appreciate the great moments in football Diego Armando Maradona brought to us all. Farewell to a great champion loved by millions, there will never be another like the great Diego Armando Maradona. David D'Antonio - Carlton Azzurri
