Congratulations to Dromard’s Matt Duffy who made his debut for Carlton in Australia on Saturday last in Ikon Park. 

It was Matt’s first game for Carlton following his ACL injury in 2023 and the long rehabilitation that followed. 

The wait was worth it as Matt made a successful debut with his side defeating Sandringham.

A safe journey home to Dromard to Theresa who was in Australia and attended the game on Saturday.
