1995 Carlton Football Club season
Carlton won the AFL premiership, defeating Geelong in the Grand Final. It was the club's sixteenth and, as of 2020, most recent premiership. It was a record-breaking season for the club, in which it set a new record by winning twenty matches during the premiership season.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Club summary
The 1995 AFL season was the 99th season of the AFL competition since its inception in 1897; and, having competed in every season, it was also the 99th season contested by the Carlton Football Club. As it had been since 1897, the club's home ground was Optus Oval (known historically as Princes Park) in North Carlton. In addition to contesting the VFL premiership, the Carlton senior team contested the 1995 Ansett Australia Cup, which ran during the pre-season. Carlton also fielded a team in the AFL reserves competition (which was administered at this time by the Victorian State Football League).


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Club summary
Carlton's key senior personnel were all unchanged from 1994: John Elliott as club president, David Parkin as senior coach, and Stephen Kernahan as captain. Parkin had been under pressure to keep his job following the club's early exit from the 1994 finals series, and he was signed to a one-year contract for the 1995 season.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Squad and player statistics for 1995
The following are the senior and supplementary squads for the 1995 season. Numbers in parentheses represent senior games played and goals kicked for Carlton in the 1995 AFL premiership season.

The following summarises player transfers to and from the club between the conclusion of the 1994 season and the conclusion of the 1995 season.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Pre-season matches
Carlton's first competitive pre-season event for the season was the once-off 'Big Three Challenge Cup', a one-day lightning tournament held amongst the so-called 'Big Three' Victorian clubs: Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon. The event was held on Sunday 19 February at Waverley Park, with three half-length matches played. Collingwood won the event, winning both of its games; Carlton finished second.

1995 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Pre-season matches
Carlton played two other pre-season practice matches against other clubs before the 1995 season.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Home-and-away season
Carlton opened the home-and-away season strongly, winning its first seven games to move to the top of the ladder. However, the club's premiership favouritism was dented by two huge, unexpected losses suffered back-to-back in Rounds 8 and 9: against 11th placed Sydney by 72 points, and against last-placed St Kilda by 56 points. In the latter of those matches, St Kilda held Carlton goalless until the 18th minute of the third quarter. Following the losses, Parkin commented that the team had "gone from the best team in the competition to the worst team in two weeks". Carlton dropped to fourth on the ladder after Round 9.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Home-and-away season
The club returned to form the following week, defeating 10th placed Hawthorn by 102 points, and did not lose another game for the season. The club clinched the minor premiership in Round 19, and went on to finish four games clear of second-placed Geelong at the top of the ladder.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Home-and-away season
Carlton's performance through the season exceeded the expectations of most sportswriters. The club had won the minor premiership in 1993 and finished second after the home-and-away season in 1994, but had failed in the finals in both years. The club's star players were all aging – its key position players and leading midfielders, Bradley, Dean, Kernahan, Madden, Spalding and Williams were all older than 30 at the start of the season – and most had expected Carlton's form to drop away.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Home-and-away season
However, the club's performance received a boost from breakout seasons from five of Carlton's developing players: Brown, Christou, Koutoufides, Ratten and Sexton – as well as a strong performance from rookie Scott Camporeale. Additionally, there was no drop-off in form from the club's older stars, with Bradley in particular in career-best form, winning many media awards for his play during the year. Breakout seasons by forward pocket Brad Pearce and pre-season draftee Matt Clape also provided good alternative options in the forward line.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Home-and-away season
The club also notably adopted a then-novel leadership structure which offered the playing group additional autonomy and accountability, allowing the group to set its own goals and propose some of its own tactical changes; Parkin described it as the "least-coached team" he had been involved with in his 34 years of playing and coaching.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Finals series
Despite finishing four games clear atop the ladder, and entering the finals with a 13-game winning streak, Carlton was not a rampant favourite to win the premiership. Over the previous two seasons, the club had developed a reputation as finals chokers: in 1993, it had been favourite to win the Grand Final, but lost by 44 points against a young Essendon team; then in 1994, it finished second on the ladder, then lost to seventh-placed Melbourne by 27 points and to an injury-depleted Geelong by 33 points to be eliminated in fifth place.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Finals series
In the qualifying final, Carlton faced eighth-placed Brisbane Bears. Brisbane had been 14th on the ladder after Round 15, before winning six of its last seven matches reach its first ever finals series – so it was one of the form teams of the competition. The game was closely fought for three quarters, with Brisbane holding a six-point lead late in the third quarter; Carlton then kicked the next six goals of the game, with Anthony Koutoufides kicking the last three of those in quick time from full forward, to open a match-winning five-goal lead. The final margin was 13 points. The win earned Carlton a bye to the preliminary final, which it won against North Melbourne by 62 points; Carlton had led by only 19 points at three-quarter time, but kicked seven goals to none in the final quarter.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Season summary, Finals series
Carlton faced Geelong in the Grand Final. It was Geelong's fourth Grand Final appearance in the past seven years. When the markets opened, Geelong was a slight 8/11 favourite with bookmakers, but Carlton had edged into 8/11 favouritism by the opening bounce. The game itself, however, was a one-sided victory to Carlton. Carlton led by 40 points at half time, and extended the lead to a game-high 84 points midway through the final quarter, before finally winning by 61 points. Greg Williams won the Norm Smith Medal with 31 disposals and five goals as an attacking midfielder; Geelong full forward Gary Ablett, Sr. – who had kicked 122 goals for the year – was held goalless for the first time since late 1992 by Stephen Silvagni.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Premiership team
In the lead-up to the match, there was selection speculation over the availability of two players: Scott Camporeale, who had played every game for the season except the preliminary final, which he missed with back injury, but was expected to be available; and Fraser Brown who had suffered an ankle injury during the preliminary final and whose availability was questionable. Brown had multiple treatments in a decompression chamber during Grand Final week to try to aid the recovery of soft tissue in his ankle. Both players were named in the team. Brown's selection on the Thursday was subject to passing a fitness test on the Saturday morning; he passed the test, but was not fully fit and played short of a stride throughout the game.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Premiership team
To make way for Camporeale's return, Troy Bond, who had played fifteen games for the year including both the qualifying and preliminary finals, was omitted. Bond, who was out of contract, left the club immediately, and did not attend the Grand Final.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Premiership team
Another notable inclusion in the premiership team was Matthew Hogg, who had missed almost the entire season with a foot injury. Hogg played only four senior matches for the season: the Round 22 match against Essendon, and all three finals matches.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Notable events
In the Round 21 match against West Coast, Greg Williams was reported for racially vilifying indigenous West Coast player Chris Lewis. Williams was reported under a specific new provision in the players' code of conduct which had been introduced in June following a prominent incident between Damien Monkhorst (Collingwood) and Michael Long (Essendon) on Anzac Day. Under the rules, the players would undergo private conciliation first, followed by referral to the tribunal if that failed. Williams denied any memory of the vilification, but issued a public apology to Lewis. Lewis was fined $2,000 for making his allegations public before the private conciliation process had taken place.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Notable events
After the Round 22 match against Essendon, Greg Williams was suspended for one match for abusing umpire Darren Goldspink. It was the first time since 1987 that an AFL player had been suspended for abusing an umpire, with the charge usually attracting a fine; but Williams was a repeat offender, so the tribunal came down with a heavier penalty.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Leading goalkickers
Full forward Stephen Kernahan was Carlton's leading goalkicker for the tenth consecutive season, finishing the year with 63 goals from 21 games. Close behind in second place was forward pocket Brad Pearce; at age 23, Pearce had previously played only four AFL games, but he played 23 matches in a breakout season to kick 53 goals. Half-forwards Earl Spalding and Matt Clape both kicked more than 30 goals; and Greg Williams, who was used in a more attacking role in 1995, rather than the pure centreman role he had generally played in the past, was fifth.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Individual awards and records, Robert Reynolds Trophy
The Robert Reynolds Trophy for Carlton's senior best and fairest was awarded to Brett Ratten. It was the first of three occasions on which Ratten won the club best and fairest. After having played as a back pocket for the first few years of his career, Ratten had enjoyed a breakout season in 1995 as an in-and-under midfielder, and he led the team in handpasses and tackles for the year. Often celebrated is the fact that Ratten failed to poll a single Brownlow Medal vote for the season, even in the round 17 match against Fitzroy when he had 44 disposals.


1995 Carlton Football Club season, Individual awards and records, All-Australian team
Five Carlton players and the coach were named in the 1995 All-Australian team:

1995 Carolina Panthers season
The 1995 Carolina Panthers season was the franchise's inaugural season in the National Football League and the 1st under head coach Dom Capers. They went 7–9, the best debut year for any expansion franchise since the NFL's inception. The Panthers played their first season's home games at Clemson University because Bank of America Stadium was still under construction after a deadline point in 1995 for scheduling Carolina's first set of NFL games.


1995 Carolina Panthers season, Offseason
The Panthers were jokingly called "Buffalo Bills South" because of the large number of former Bills on the roster. Quarterback Frank Reich, wide receiver Don Beebe, tight end Pete Metzelaars and linebacker Carlton Bailey had played key roles in the Bills' run of four consecutive Super Bowls earlier in the 1990s and were on the Panthers' inaugural roster. Furthermore, the team's general manager was longtime Bills GM and executive Bill Polian. (See also the 2001 San Diego Chargers season, in which a similar situation arose when John Butler brought several former Bills with him to San Diego after being fired.)

1995 Chiapas earthquake
The 1995 Chiapas earthquake occurred on October 20 at 20:38 local time. The epicenter was located in Ocozocoautla de Espinosa, in the state of Chiapas, Mexico, near Tuxtla Gutiérrez. It had a magnitude of Mw 7.2, or ML 6.5. Building damage was reported. Around 70 people were reported injured. In Tuxtla Gutiérrez, telephone and electricity services were momentarily interrupted. This earthquake could be felt strongly in Mexico City and in many parts of southern Mexico. It could also be felt in Guatemala and El Salvador. The centroid mechanism is of thrust faulting with a small strike-slip component. The rupture of this earthquake propagated from NW to SE over a distance of about 30 km. The duration of the rupture was about 17 s. The earthquake was resulted from the internal deformation of the Cocos Plate, which is subducting beneath the North American Plate.

1995 Chicago heat wave
The July 1995 Chicago heat wave led to 739 heat-related deaths in Chicago over a period of five days. Most of the victims of the heat wave were elderly poor residents of the city, who could not afford air conditioning and did not open windows or sleep outside for fear of crime. The heat wave also heavily impacted the wider Midwestern region, with additional deaths in both St. Louis, Missouri and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Weather
The temperatures soared to record highs in July with the hottest weather occurring from July 12 to July 16. The high of 106 °F (41 °C) on July 13 was the second warmest July temperature (warmest being 110 °F (43 °C) set on July 23, 1934) since records began at Chicago Midway International Airport in 1928. Nighttime low temperatures were unusually high — in the upper 70s and lower 80s °F (about 26 °C).


1995 Chicago heat wave, Weather
The humidity made a large difference for the heat in this heat wave when compared to the majority of those of the 1930s, 1988, 1976–78 and 1954–56, which were powered by extremely hot, dry, bare soil and/or air masses which had originated in the desert Southwest. Each of the above-mentioned years' summers did have high-humidity heat waves as well, although 1988 was a possible exception in some areas.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Weather
Moisture from previous rains and transpiration by plants drove up the humidity to record levels and the moist humid air mass originated over Iowa previous to and during the early stages of the heat wave.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Weather
Numerous stations in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and elsewhere reported record dew point temperatures above 80 °F (27 °C) with a peak at 90 °F (32 °C) with an air temperature of 104 °F (40 °C) making for a 148 °F (64 °C) heat index reported from at least one station in Wisconsin (Appleton) at 5:00 pm local time on the afternoon of 14 July 1995, a probable record for the Western Hemisphere; this added to the heat to cause heat indices above 130 °F (54 °C) in Iowa and southern Wisconsin on several days of the heat wave as the sun bore down from a cloudless sky and evaporated even more water seven days in a row.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Weather
A few days after, the heat moved to the east, with temperatures in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania reaching 100 °F (38 °C) and in Danbury, Connecticut, 106 °F (41 °C) which is Connecticut's highest recorded temperature. North of the border, Toronto, Ontario reached 37 °C (99 °F), when coupled with record high humidity from the same airmass resulted in its highest ever humidex value of 50.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Weather
Dewpoint records are not as widely kept as those of temperature, however, the dew points during the heat wave were at or near national and continental records.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Weather, Analysis
The heat wave was caused by a large high pressure system that traversed across the midwest United States. This system was consistently producing maximum temperatures in the 90's (°F / 32-38 °C) during the day with minimum temperatures still remaining as high as the 80s (~ 31 °C) at night, which is abnormal for midwest summer months. The system also brought extremely low wind speeds, along with high humidity. In the  and the  meteorological reanalyses, the system (see figure) moved eastward, becoming indistinguishable by July 18.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Victims
Eric Klinenberg, author of the 2002 book Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago, has noted that the map of heat-related deaths in Chicago mirrors the map of poverty. Most of the heat wave victims were the elderly poor living in the heart of the city, who either had no working air conditioning or could not afford to turn it on. Many older citizens were also hesitant to open windows and doors at night for fear of crime. Elderly women, who may have been more socially engaged, were less vulnerable than elderly men. By contrast, during the heat waves of the 1930s, many residents slept outside in the parks or along the shore of Lake Michigan.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Victims
Because of the nature of the disaster, and the slow response of authorities to recognize it, no official "death toll" has been determined. However, figures show that 739 additional people died in that particular week above the usual weekly average. Further epidemiologic analysis showed that Black residents were more likely to die than White residents, and that Hispanic residents had an unusually low death rate due to heat. At the time, many Black residents lived in areas of sub-standard housing and less cohesive neighborhoods, while Hispanic residents at the time lived in places with higher population density, and more social cohesion.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Victims
Mortality displacement refers to the deaths that occur during a heat wave that would have occurred anyway in a near future, but which were precipitated by the heat wave itself. In other words, people who are already very ill and close to death (expected to die, for instance, within days or a few weeks) might die sooner than they might have otherwise, because of the impact of the heat wave on their health. However, because their deaths have been hastened by the heat wave, in the months that follow the number of deaths becomes lower than average.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Victims
This is also called a harvesting effect, in which part of the expected (future) mortality shifts forward a few weeks to the period of the heat wave. Initially some public officials suggested that the high death toll during the weeks of the heat wave was due to mortality displacement; an analysis of the data later found that mortality displacement during the heat wave was limited to about 26% of the estimated 692 excess deaths in the period between June 21 and August 10, 1995. Mortality risks affected Black residents disproportionally. Appropriately targeted interventions may have a tangible effect on life expectancy.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Victims
In August, the remains of forty-one victims whose bodies had not been claimed were buried in a mass grave in Homewood, Illinois.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Aggravating factors
Impacts in the Chicago urban center were exacerbated by an urban heat island that raised nocturnal temperatures by more than 2 °C (3.6 °F). Urban heat islands are caused by the concentration of buildings and pavement in urban areas, which tend to absorb more heat in the day and radiate more of that heat at night into their immediate surroundings than comparable rural sites. Therefore, built-up areas get hotter and stay hotter.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Aggravating factors
Other aggravating factors were inadequate warnings, power failures, inadequate ambulance service and hospital facilities, and lack of preparation. City officials did not release a heat emergency warning until the last day of the heat wave. Thus, such emergency measures as Chicago's five cooling centers were not fully utilized. The medical system of Chicago was severely taxed as thousands were taken to local hospitals with heat-related problems.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Aggravating factors
Another powerful factor in the heat wave was that a temperature inversion grew over the city, and air stagnated in this situation. Pollutants and humidity were confined to ground level, and the air was becalmed and devoid of wind. Without wind to stir the air, temperatures grew even hotter than could be expected with just an urban heat island, and without wind there was truly no relief. Without any way to relieve the heat, even the insides of homes became ovens, with indoor temperature exceeding 90 °F (32 °C) at night. This was especially noticeable in areas which experienced frequent power outages. At Northwestern University just north of Chicago, summer school students lived in dormitories without air conditioning. In order to ease the effects of the heat, some of the students slept at night with water-soaked towels as blankets.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Aggravating factors
The scale of the human tragedy sparked denial in some quarters, grief and blame elsewhere. From the moment the local medical examiner began to report heat-related mortality figures, political leaders, journalists, and in turn the Chicago public have actively denied the disaster's significance. Although so many city residents died that the coroner had to call in nine refrigerated trucks to store the bodies, skepticism about the trauma continues today. In Chicago, people still debate whether the medical examiner exaggerated the numbers and wonder if the crisis was a "media event." The American Journal of Public Health established that the medical examiner's numbers actually undercounted the mortality by about 250 since hundreds of bodies were buried before they could be autopsied.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Statistics
Statistics about the averaged July monthly average temperatures from 1960–2016 give us a mean of 74 degrees F and a standard deviation of 2.7.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Statistics
During the week of the heat wave, there were 11% more hospital admissions than average for comparison weeks and 35% more than expected among patients aged 65 years and older. The majority of this excess (59%) were treatments for dehydration, heat stroke, and heat exhaustion.


1995 Chicago heat wave, Statistics, Wet Bulb Temperatures
Wet Bulb Temperatures during this heat wave reached 85 °F (29 °C) in some places. A wet bulb temperature of 95 °F (35 °C) may be fatal to healthy young humans if experienced over six hours or more.

1995 Chilean telethon
The 1995 Chilean telethon was the 13th version of the solidarity campaign held in Chile since 1978. The theme of this version was "Our great work." The event took place on 1–2 December 1995. The chosen poster boy for the campaign was Marcel Cáceres.


1995 Chilean telethon
The event, broadcast over twenty seven consecutive hours, was conducted primarily at the Teatro Teleton and the closing of the programme was broadcast from the National Stadium, the first time that the closing of the program was held there. During the early hours of Sunday, 3 December the final count was given, a total of CL$ 5,005,253,668. Although that figure far exceeded the amount collected from the last telethon (CL$ 3,138,513,916), the goal was to double that amount, so it was the first and, so far, the only telethon that has failed the objective.


1995 Chilean telethon, Development
As usual, the Telethon was opened in the presence of various authorities with an emotional keynote address by Don Francisco, where he announced that the goal for this year would be double the amount raised in the previous edition, making the goal CL$ 6,277,027,832. In the first count, held at 23.15, the enthusiasm was high as the figure given by the Bank of Chile reached $ 32,357,523, more than double the proceeds from the 1994 Telethon at the same time.


1995 Chilean telethon, Development
But as the next few hours passed, the donations began to wane, and at 00.17, the second count nearly equalled the figure of last year's event, and by 10am it had not even surpassed 700 million pesos. During that time, a group of government politicians and members of the government opposition did a comic piece called "Policoro."


1995 Chilean telethon, Development
The figures throughout the day were not encouraging, at 17.42, a new total showed only CL$ 1,879,164,121.


1995 Chilean telethon, Development
When the final leg of the presentation started at the Teatro Teleton (about 19.00), Don Francisco asked TV channels for a one-hour delay in transmission of their newscasts to urge Chileans to go to the bank. The channels accepted the proposal and, at 22.00, Francisco gave the new total CL$ 3,208,291,257.


1995 Chilean telethon, Development
The likelihood that the goal would not be reached became more and more apparent, two hours before the end of the event and the total had only just passed the previous events, half of the goal. In an interview on Channel 13 newscast, Teletrece, Don Francisco, before going to the National Stadium, stating that nothing had worked as planned, and asking people to go back to the bank if possible, and that he did not think the goal would be met, although he hoped at least to get close to it.


1995 Chilean telethon, Development
For the first time the closing event was at the National Stadium, which was filled to capacity. At 23.26, a new total was given, CL$ 3,908,243,017. Don Francisco finally admitted that the goal will not be reached, which was confirmed when at 00.33, the numbers barely exceeded $ 4,200 million.


1995 Chilean telethon, Development
The transmission extended for an hour and at 2.06 the final count was CL$ 5,005,253,668, nearly 1,200 million pesos less than expected. Prior to closing, Don Francisco thanked all those involved and expressed his respect for those who did not. Days later, the Bank of Chile gave the final count of $ 5,534,774,829, which would become the goal for the next edition.

Team Dennis Conner sailed Stars & Stripes (USA–34) during the challenger series, which many judges considered to be the slowest of the three 1995 defenders. During the semi finals USA–34 began taking on water and the crew put on life jackets as they feared the boat might sink. However the team sailed well and won the Citizen Cup and the right to defend the America's Cup. Dennis Conner led a team that included helmsman Paul Cayard.
