Carlton reserves spent the 2000, 2001 and 2002 seasons competing in the VFL. The Blues got as far as a preliminary final in their first season and a semi final in their second before missing the finals altogether in 2002. More recently, Carlton have forged an alliance with the Northern Blues (formerly Northern Bullants, and before that Preston).
