Kind of struggle with statements like this. On the one hand it’s nice to get confirmation that there is some sort of vision and statement about Carlton’s goals going forward. On the other hand this will be used as fodder every time we have a bad form slump over the next five years. Is it worth having it thrown back at us as an easy touchstone for the media if or when we’re still not winning a lot of games/developing say next year? Just so we can put out a nice glossy booklet/PR exercise (and to me that’s all this is) to get people excited before the season? I’m going to get sick of hearing about this much like the 100 points thing. Much like the ultra-defensive game plan thing. I automatically thought about the blueprint we realeased in ‘11? I don’t think these statements are a useful exercise but that’s just me.

I know what you mean but a business (or similar entity) needs plans to set goals and in the interest of transparency and accountability, they have to be made public. If they weren't, the club would be accused of having no plan or being unnecessarily cagey. Can't win either way I guess.

I do like that the vast majority of items on the plan are focussed on off-field endeavours. Every club is wanting to win premierships. I don't think they are worthwhile goals to put in these plans.

 

[Erko Blue]

I'm proud of the way the club is progressing, excited about our future and very happy with this document.

It shows clear direction and the recent changes have given me hope that these goals are achievable.

It's easy to be jaded by the past and take pot shots at the bold statements we have released.

I am going to take this in the spirit that it was intended and believe our club is headed in the right direction.

[SOSforPM]

Noramally not a fan of these things but it does feel as if the club is going in the right direction.

The club has a huge scope for growth if they can get it right...Could be a lot of fun. Good on them!

 

[HBF]

My reserved seat is gone

My seat in the Social Club went years ago. Really miss those days going to the footy sitting up there.

 

[1shay]

I hope they bring back an area where you could sit in your car and watch the game like the good old days...

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Would rather see them demolish the Gardiner Stand to the north, rather than demolish the useful Pratt Stand to the South

Yep let’s take out the southern stand....you know the one that provides protection from the prevailing winds, known as Southerlies!!!!

Or you could be positive, excited, and expect the best rather than the worst.

From a club perspective, board/admin/members we have a clear path to what the objectives are and how we can measure against their performance.

Some big statements there, 100k members is the eye opener for me!! And if I was an editor of a paper what I’d be writing about, every club is in it to win premierships that’s obvious column fodder!!

That’s an ambitious target, but if met makes a lot of the other objectives extremely likely to happen.

One of our posters is heritage listed. Respect.

Who thylacine60 ?

 

[Wily trout]

I get what people are saying in that they have seen it all before. I am trying to be a glass half full person here, and trust that the club is trying to be transparent and engaging the members in the process. Maybe it will come to fruition and maybe it won't. I kinda like a lot of the goals and hope we do meet them, especially the on field success. The 100,000 members part is exciting too.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Who thylacine60 ?

Na! He leans a bit but he’s definitely not heritage.

I hope this plan goes well for you guys, I really do. I know what it is like to be a s**t team for a prolonged period of time and I honestly only wish that upon Essendon supporters!

Your CEO is great at taking a business model from private industry and implementing it at an AFL level. He did it at Richmond, ******* his previous business over and he is doing it again. Now before you get stuck into me,hear me out.

There is NOTHING wrong with taking previous experience at an old work environment and successfully implementing it at a new workplace. But it works once, not twice. I have grave concerns he screwed his previous employers over when he moved to Richmond. Now he is implementing the same plan again and it may well work. If it does well done guys. But my concern is that he is following a certain formula rather than being an innovator. Sometimes you do not need to reinvent the wheel, no doubt. But if you invent the same wheel time after time it gets found out!

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Before you go any further Stinger, how did he stuff over previous employer before Tigers?

Give us premierships and 100k will come!!

What ever happened to if it ain’t broke don’t fix it...

So what did he do with his previous employers ?

 

[Bostonian]

I wish they'd keep such things to themselves. Keep it as a surprise for us all instead of getting our hopes up (again!).

 

[Bostonian]

What ever happened to if it ain’t broke don’t fix it...

Which is why they never reinvented the wheel (or bicycle).

I love it when a plan comes together.

I remember people ridiculing Gales plan for Tigers when he started. No one laughing now. Bring it on
