===Between the wars=== Through the 1920s and the [[Great Depression]] of the 1930s, Carlton maintained a strong on-field presence. The club was a frequent finalist, contesting fourteen finals series between the wars. However, premiership success did not follow, and the club contested only three Grand Finals for just one premiership during this period, and endured the second longest premiership drought (23 years) in the club's history.<ref name="seasons">{{cite web|url=http://afltables.com/afl/teams/carlton/season.html|title=Carlton Season Summary|publisher=AFL Tables|access-date=23 October 2011}}</ref> The drought was broken with the club's sixth VFL premiership in [[1938 VFL season|1938]], when former [[Subiaco Football Club|Subiaco]] and [[Sydney Swans|South Melbourne]] champion [[Brighton Diggins]] was recruited by the club to serve as captain-coach. On-field, Carlton's inter-war period was highlighted by two of its greatest goalkickers: in the 1920s, [[Horrie Clover]] (396 goals in 147 games), and in the 1930s, [[Harry Vallence|Harry "Soapy" Vallence]] (722 goals in 204 games), both of which were Carlton career records at the time.
