The club saw many changes to key personnel in 2008, with West Coast champion Chris Judd coming to the club as a new captain, former club captain Brett Ratten appointed senior coach, and Stephen Kernahan replacing Richard Pratt as president mid-season.

Carlton finished 11th out of 16 teams with ten wins and twelve losses in the 2008 AFL season. Although this did not result in a finals appearance, the season marked the end of one of the least successful periods in club history, which had seen five finishes in the bottom two between 2002 and 2007.
