An evening with Mark Maclure<br />
19th May – Former Carlton Captain Mark<br />
Maclure will be our guest in the Clubrooms<br />
He made his senior VFL debut midway through<br />
the 1974 season against Geelong. He stayed<br />
with the Blues for an impressive thirteen<br />
seasons during which he played 243 games<br />
and kicked 327 goals.<br />
Some of this greatest career achievements<br />
included representing Victoria, and heading<br />
Carlton’s goal kicking list twice. He was also<br />
Carlton’s premiership centre half forward in<br />
their premiership teams of 1979, 1981 and<br />
1982. He portrayed a sometimes fearsome<br />
physical presence towards opponents but was<br />
ferociously protective of smaller team mates in<br />
the forward lines.<br />
Maclure was nameD the Blues captain for<br />
the season of 1986 season but it was not a<br />
successful year for him as he was troubled by<br />
injuries. The recovered enough to take the<br />
Blues into a finals campaign but it proved not<br />
to be successful as they lost to Hawthorn in<br />
the Grand Final that year. He retired shortly<br />
afterwards.<br />
These days, Mark works as an expert football<br />
commentator for ABC radio, a panellist on<br />
AFL 360 and is also the General Manager of<br />
Valvoline Car Care.<br />
