As an avid Carlton supporter / member for many years, and one who loves being involved in forums on the blues, I still find it hard too believe the lack of selling of our club (painting the big picture) we see with only 5 rounds too go in the season.

Regardless of the off field side of things, we have a big chance too take giant leaps and bounds over the next few months.

It's great too get articles on the young blues, in particular from Blackwell recently.

- I really want to hear that Blackwell, Simpson, Hartlett and Russell have signed again from the club.

- I want the club too openly comunicate there interest in hitting the PSD well hard (Essendon has)

- I want the club too openly communicate and sell the vision of hitting the National Draft with gusto.

We are all frantically debating and being filled with nervous excitement about Gibbs, or Hansen etc.

We have all bantered around possible delistings, and I am pleased that the club is going too recruit youth, but for me, as a proactive member those words are still whispers, and need too be louder.

I want to see Pagan on the news rubbing his hands together selling the idea of possible 6 picks in the national draft, talking up a couple of our rookies, and the club getting more of our youngers guys onto the likes of White Line Fever (Scotland has) and On the Couch etc.

The club will obviously be putting in the efforts on the National Draft and potential out of contract players behind the scenes, but we are not in the position membership wise where thsoe supporters not involved in these forums and as proactive as us are receiving that info.

We talk about these components of our club regularly, but with 5 rounds too go, and a chance too Make a Difference at seasons end, I just hope our Blues extract the digit.
 
Agree Barnesy. Thought you got very average treatment on SEN just now. And even little things like car stickers. If I read one more "signed & sealed" or "paid up & passionate" bumper sticker I will definitely commit a major act of supporter road rage. Our stickers are about as clever as Pagan's game plan. As for the run throughs........... The marketing department seem to have little idea other than grabbing some disinterested actor from out of town and putting them into the jumper for a cheesy promo shot. They need to get out there and sell us and the sad news is they still need to get out there and sell us to US!
 
I just wish the club would let us in on what Pagan's plans our for our team. He must of had a pretty decent plan for them to extend his contract for 3 extra years.

We just have to trust our board at times and coaches.

Agree we do have to market ourselves a bit better and I think we need to get players like Fev, Murphy and Betts to go on Footy shows, write a column or two and go and speak to the supporters a bit more.

Maybe if we could afford it we could hire a marketing person at the club? if we havn't got one already?
