Carlton’s banishment from Friday night football will continue in 2020, with the Blues set to play zero games in the marquee timeslot for the second consecutive season.

Despite a strong finish to the season under new coach David Teague, both AFL and club sources confirmed to The Age that Carlton will not feature on Friday nights.

The Blues will once again open the season against reigning premiers Richmond on the Thursday night in round one, in a fixture that will be an away game for Carlton.
