Billionaires and business deals: The money machine delivering big benefits to the Blues

When Carlton are up and about, they are a scary prospect, and it’s not just on the field. Behind the scenes, the Blues draw big business.

Words of wisdom from Cook

Carlton makes about $5M in non-football income, out of about $17M for the whole AFL industry.

Sees non-footy income as a grossly undeveloped opportunity. With our club's business connections, this could be a defining characteristic of Carlton.

Wants to harness Carlton 'passion' into something a little more steady - aka control the club and fans' tendency to go feral when we lose, haha.

Wants to keep the billionaires on side, but wean us off their influence. So we aren't beholden to their whims (hello last 30 years).

Cook obviously wasn’t at Geelong when lamb hearts were sent into the club by an angry Geebung supporter after a loss[emoji23]

A good spot to for the club to start reducing the gap between the emotions of a win or loss is on here, starting in the game day thread[emoji41]

Much of our supporter base come from immigrant families who tend to be passionate people in general.

flew third man up, the ball came over the back and Curnow ran in for the easy goal. It’s a smart move and it works because opponents don’t like Harry McKay

going 1v1 in the air, meaning Curnow’s opponent often is the support person in the contest. It works so well that Curnow often prefers to stand deep with one hand in the air, rather than get on his bike and lead. But at times, he’s too stationary. He was targeted 18 times on Saturday, and in 15 of them he had the opportunity to compete. He retained six of them. It’s a modest return. Several times, he tried to work Kolodjashnij under the ball, yet the Cats defender was strong enough to keep his position. Curnow is the Coleman Medallist and a superstar of the competition, but if you asked Kolodjashnij if he would prefer to wrestle Curnow rather than chase him around the forward 50m, surely the answer would be to wrestle. Midfield ball movement and flooding numbers can dictate how and when key forwards move, but when you have the speed and athleticism of Curnow, it should be utilised more. Curnow kicked three goals on Saturday, and at the same time Kolodjashnij should be happy with his performance.

Fair call.

‘We don’t stand for that’: Blues’ fatal flaw exposed ahead of Magpies blockbuster

Carlton may have the firepower to engineer a barrage of goals, but it’s when they don’t have the ball that has them in trouble heading into Friday night’s clash against their arch-rival.

and the article finishes with an explanation as to why rebound and defensive capability in the back half has gone backwards - injuries to key players.

we should be improving big time form here as players start to come back.

Yes.
Although I think Fogarty and Cunners missing also impacts our defence, not only the backs and Cez.

The team when it gets on the park is going to smash pretenders off the park...just need to jag a couple of games whilst they are getting back - that is why the Adelaide and Geelong misses sting.

Cripps spends time forward and kicks goals. Kingy sees this and thinks 'Oh! Cripps should spend time forward and kick goals'.

..... . Thanks Kongy

 

[Lace_Out]

We need speed to negate the oppositions defence from getting out.

While Cripps being handy occasionally is great, more time might not reap the rewards overall.

Speed is important, players adhering to structure and positioning is more important

Hitting targets on transition. Cost us about 4 goals on what should have been 4 Carlton scores

A sobering lesson in not taking sh*t for granted, respecting those around you and the opportunities you are presented with. Life is often neither fair nor linear. But hard work and humility help with increasing the odds of navigating both positively. Sam is a case in point, credit to himself and his fam. The footy club are lucky to have those sort of characters for the younger brigade to be around. You hope they take heed.

I really hope so. Feel that with the current injuries to our backline, he'd be a safer option than Cow atm. Hold cow back until we have more experienced heads around him.
