Enough is enough

[slashin_velvet]

We have played Richmond, Collingwood, Essendon and West Coast at home.

and St Kilda in NZ - one of the lowest drawing games of the season.

and St Kilda in NZ - one of the lowest drawing games of the season.

And we have Brisbane & GWS over the next couple of weeks.
Not saying we haven't gotten off to a good start crowd wise, but that would have been expected.

Interesting considering how much NZ would have hurt our numbers, or is this just home games? We have also played Richmond, Essendon and Collingwood already. Three of the biggest draw cards in the game.

The crap numbers in NZ would be offset by the inflated numbers from the Richmond opening round game of over 80k. Those numbers will level off with a couple of games against low drawing teams though.

Only thing that makes sense is that Nannette has a soft spot for Robbie W and she wanted to see him play on Micks special night..

Makes about as much sense as anything. Considering it also completely mucked up the structure of the NB as well. Levi was sent back to gain form and work on his goal kicking, but then had to spend all his time in the ruck instead of the goal square.

We should have played this game where the Kiwis live. Brisbane, Sydney or Kalgoorlie.

I agree to an extent, but if the magical offer comes for them then we must consider it.. However I agree that we need as many top 20 picks as we can get, 3 at a minimum, with 2 of them top 10. I would have Yarran as the one I am most prepared to lose to get us another pick.

Watching Yarran running around in Navy blue is going to be the main reason why people will go to matches. Cripps over the next couple of years will also get us up there and some of the other new guys will create a buzz around the place.

If we get rid of Yarran and kept Gibbs, we would lose about 5-10% of people willing to fork out good money to go and watch the game. At least Yarran is willing to take the game on... Gibbs just seems content to sit back and wait for the ball to come to him.

I agree with Carey

Gibbs doesn't take games by the scruff of the neck

He's a safe accumulator

He's no Selwood who simply demands his team wins and does EVERYTHING he can to get them across the line

Murphy has more ticker but is a midget who gets pushed around

Yarran is a bit ladida too

See the trend??

We need to focus not just ok talent but attitude too

Cripps and Menzel have that look in the eye so at least it appears we are picking wisely nowadays

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Great band the La De Das


As for Menzel. meh.

In fact, this might be a bit more apt given our form of late...

I don't know why but I immediately thought of MEB and HBF, sorry guys.

And saints in NZ...

Crowd size - so worried about mother's day attendance they're offering 2 for 1?

I guess when we lose to brisbane this week there'll be a capacity crowd the following week to see the new coach unveiled

 

[BluStreak]

Not sure if this will work.

Reckon the Coach should have these on the players and some random selected fans have one on the coach.

Can't remember a game where gibbs and Murphy have won games for us and have players follow with them like selwood and hodge always do

Just the one. But not consistently enough

No plenty more. I suggest you consult the books and realise that these guys have achieved plenty in their careers.

They announced the committee and gave a bio on who each person was, from memory, but I can't remember hearing anything about it since.

The member council meet with reps from Carlton across all divisions on a regular basis to discuss membership, game day experience, social media, events etc. They are at all games around the kids area, the membership tents and in the Captains club talking to members and seeking feedback which is then relayed to Carlton.There is also a dedicated email address to contact with suggestions/feedback. You wont see anything delivered that says "This is from the member council".Think if it kind of like a focus group. Mark attends EVERY meeting and the club have been amazingly supportive.

I wasn't sure of the best way for the fan base to tell the club we DIDN'T approve of how they were running the club.

But now that the club has miraculously seen the light in terms of responsible, long-term planning, we the fans have the perfect way to tell them we DO approve.

Record membership after a wooden spoon is an impressive effort. On one hand it's just a number, on the other hand it's fans voting with their minds and wallets and telling the club 'THIS is what we want. THIS is what we have been waiting for'.

The club now seems more fan centric. And we have signed up in record numbers. Hopefully that makes the club even more fan centric and more of us sign up. And so on.

There's a LONG way to go on and off the field. But the club has finally taken its first steps in the right direction and we are following.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the journey (BB tm).

This is like being told the tooth fairy is real.

You want to believe it with all of your heart but it just seems to good to be true.

I've seen it first hand...It's true... The post-match functions with amazing access to players (which will continue in 2016), the range of options for membership, improved quality of membership packs, revamped family day, music and lights at games, kids area etc

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Would be nice if they reported on this stuff in an official capacity. All we've had out of the club is "this is the member council"
