Carltons 2.9mn result, explained

[Astro_]

Agree on that point. The soul-less regional Clubs like Weagleland, have added nothing to the game, apart from a drug problem. Watching their supporters bang little yellow plastic sticks together behind their goals at Subi makes the football world just cringe. Nothing touches a big game at the G between the Victorian rivals.

Agreed. Supporters of interstate clubs will never know what its like to attend a football match comprising two old-aged rivals in front of a packed house. History and tradition are the cornerstones of this.

We did have something to do with it. A record 35K members is attractive to any sponsor, so are the crowds such as the record attendance we set at the Telstra Dome.

Back in your box now.

Nothing to brag about as the Telstra Dome only holds 50000. Considering your membership base was so high, your overall attendances were shit. That tells me that very few of your 35000 members bothered to attend any match after the 9th June.

Swann got Judd. Your CEO failed to achieve that. In fact he didn't even manage to get Judd to at least speak with the Tiges, like the Pies, Dons, and Dees CEO's managed to.

he wasn't trying to, he is financially responsible.
he's results speak for themself, sucks to be spending 20% of you're salary cap on a bloke with a shot groin.

LOL when Murphy and Gibbs are out of contract and you can't afford to keep you're alleged "impressive" list of young talent

we only got involved towards the end

Exactly. We now know at least 4 other Clubs CEO's were talking with Judd's management over the previous 3-4 months. Your guy was caught out sitting on his hands.

you're missing the point moron.

you're missing the point ...

No action = success? lol.

you really are a bird brain

Parrot back off now.

It's Carlton. Who cares?

Well, most of your supporters love talking about us on this site. Do you not visit the Bay 13 and Main Football boards?

Pratt was the best thing that ever happened to Carlton. We should be jealous, I wish we had a billionaire business man as president! Of course they had a hugh profit and expect that to continue. Next year I wouldn't be surprised if its 4 million. Carlton will unfortunately soon be the richest club in the league in few years, thats the sad truth!

Two words

Gutnik-Bond

Billionaire businessmen don`t guarantee 100% success

If anything they jeopordise it

Not sure how swanny could trumpet this result with a straight face, let me break it down for all those Blues fans that frequent these parts.

Profit...............................................................................2.9

Less Abnormal items

AFL grant for the downtrodden.............................................2.0
Pratts whiparound from Visy suppliers(whoops, Carlton Coterie)...2.0

Real Result.................................................................Net loss 1.1

Footnote from auditors, if the AFL benevolent fund continues alongside Pratts tactics, I mean generosity, i expect that the Blues financial performance will continue to be bouyant

Sorry folks, but personally, I'd prefer not to read about Carlton on this board and I certainly don't want to encourage those navy blue irritants, who seem seriously obsessed with our board, to have an invitation to respond - they annoy me.
All these 'you did it/no, you did it' arguments are pointless and not just a little boring.
This is a Richmond board so this thread would be more appropriate on the Carlton board and then you can argue all night with everyone.
My apologies, but I'm just a little bit hungover still.

 

[SolidTiger]

What is the point about having a thread about Carltons profit on the Richmond board?

The last thing we need is to give the Richmond obsessed Carlton supporters who patrol our board (Parrot) an excuse to post here.

Now c'mon...like that's ever stopped them from signing anyone...
