The Carji Club is for AFL footy loving members who compete in a Brownlow Medal voting competition. At the annual October lunch the winner is awarded the Carji Jacket and Carji Medal. A guest Brownlow Medallist attends and The Carji Club makes a generous donation to the charity chosen by the Brownlow Medallist. |
The designated charity chosen by our 2025 guest Brownlow Medallist Gary Ablett jnr, is the Compassion Australia Mums and Babies Program: |

Absolutely loved The Carji Club day, fantastic group of humans doing a good thing - thanks for having us! We are very grateful for the donation and shared impact the Carji Club & Gary Ablett Jr. have been able to have. These funds [$22,000} were able to partial fund 3 seperate Mum's & Babies programs for the entire year. Dean Ussher, Church Partnerships Manager, Compassion Australia | Your recent donation [$20,000] is already making a profound impact in the lives of children, adults, and families living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). Your support has provided a vital boost to our In-Home Nursing Support Program, enabling us to deliver specialised care directly to those who need it most. Anne Paton, Philanthropy Manager, Debra Australia | Ladder's National Program Manager Tara and Development Coach Brittany attended the event [Carji Lunch] in October to speak about Ladder. Funds raised of $21,000 will enable Ladder to continue working with some of the most complex young people, in the most marginalised and socially disadvantaged communities in Australia. - The Ladder Foundation website |

25 years of The Carji |
The Carji Club celebrated 25 years at the 2026 Carji lunch with comedian and The Suburban Footballer, Tom Siegert.Tom posted on his Facebook site afterwards: "I headed to the MCG (which is looking a little different due to the Marathon this weekend), to perform in front of a room full of legends for the CARJI club. I’m still not 100% sure what the CARJI club is but I know they love their footy, drink like sailors, have a great time, raise lots of money for charities and there are truck loads of them and their numbers are growing. I also got to meet AFL legend Gavin Wanganeen. A nicer bloke you would not meet. A huge thanks to everyone at the CARJI club for letting me be a part of the day" |
