Carlton Virtual Board Press Release 11/10/06

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Issues discussed and resolutions passed as a result of meetings held 9/10/06 and 10/10/06.

1. The virtual board has resolved to support the stance by the football department in relation to required players attempting to leave the club.

The resolution states that unless a suitable and fair trade is offered by AFL clubs attempting to recruit players the Carlton Football Club wishes to retain, the club is prepared to refrain from trade talks and risk those players leaving via the preseason draft.

The board has assessed the risk as acceptable in order to send a message to the playing list and opposition clubs that the club will not set the precedent of accepting offers that are not beneficial or at the very least fair and equitable to the Carlton Football Club.

This resolution was passed by a vote of 6-1.

2. The virtual board has resolved to expand the recruiting policy as it currently stands.

The policy now reads as follows:

The Carlton Football Club will assess all potential recruits on a case by case basis, with the key provisos that:

a) They are aged 24 or under; and
b) Are deemed as realistically capable of playing 100 games for the Carlton Football Club; Or
c) If they are over 24, they must be deemed as being a potential chance of playing 100 games or make a considerably beneficial contribution to the club; and
d) Are of a reputed fine character AND of a reputed AFL quality.

This resolution was passed unanimously.

Fellow Blues supporters, what is the next topic you would like discussed at Virtual Board Level?

 

[SA Blue]

This board must be sacked. I have had it leaked to me that the original vote was 1-6, then the board flip flopped after pressure and changed the vote to 6-1.

It is a rabble and must be overturned!

Nah this board isn't indecisive like the real one SA Blue. We know what we want and we stick to our guns!!!

 

[Jeremias]

Next Captain?

Good idea, but I think it will be quite unanimous again.

Nice suggestion

 

[Salaryman]

Next Captain?

Good idea whip, consider it added.

As we speak im currently creating a ticket to challenge this virual board, one that will have various financial backers and the overwhelming support of the members.

Should we fail to be voted into power ... we will stage a coup and take office by force ... just like my mate George Spate did in Fiji

Great, so now we have two tosser boards that will let young talent walk into the PSD on principle rather than get something for them.

Well isn't that marvelous

If they don't want to play our game, we certainly aren't going to play theirs.... Why the hell should we let other clubs walk all over us?? Some of the players seem to do a fair job of that. If they want to walk then bon voyage but we are not a charity case and will not accept crap trades!

Who said anything about crap trades BG? Carlton are being stubborn and they will not talk to Hawthorn. You just watch, this will all blow up in their faces.

Settle petal. Do the words 'fair and equitable' mean anything to you at all?

Anyway, we are the virtual tosser board, and thus are only virtually tossing, get it right

Do the words "pig headed stupidity" mean anything to anyone at Carlton?

Yeah so let's get nothing for them at all.

That'll show em

Way to debate mate. Nobody said let him walk regardless, we just don't want a team that inspired this debacle reaping the rewards by screwing us over in a trade.

What is they offered pick bloody 72 for instance? Would you take that because it was something at least? Where do your limits lie?

It will certainly show them we aren't going to accept crap for the sake of it. A crap pick is more of a liability than anything.

Don't blame Hawthorn for taking advantage of the situation.

They aren't the ones who created an environment that made it so a young player or two wish to leave and go play football elsewhere.

How do we know what they offered when they sat down for 30 seconds?

Finally, some ****in sense
Well done mate!!
Seriously.

Now you actually make an excellent point here mate, the problem is upstream, with the culture and atmosphere we create for the kids. It is obviously not as healthy as it could be. Needs to be addressed how we have gotten into the situation where a bloke who we picked up at #11 (or thereabouts) on the rookie list, and virtually gave him the last chance a kid would get to play AFL, feels he needs to turn around and screw us by walking out on the club and threatening to walk for nothing into the PSD.

 

[HBF]

^^^ You and BG, what are you twins?

 

[cfc05]

I dont know wether this virtual board has completely agreed with the current Carlton one or not.

Very stupid what the current board and coach have done with Thornton, gives us no chance of prevailing if he leaves.
