I work two days from home including today, which I geared around the Blue Print. It comes on early afternoon, late lunch, I would sit back, enjoy the passion and positivity of Sellars (?) and Andy Maher and get my supporter gee up. They're the supporter match committee. My instructions are there: this is the breakdown, here are where the improvements will come from, areas of strategy to watch out for, and delights to look forward to.

But nothing came.

Endless searches eventually found that it's now fortnightly, not weekly, and this week's episode is on Friday not Tuesday. What's going on?!??

I don't have foxtel and anyway couldn't be bothered watching 360 EVERY night for intelligent footy/Carlton talk, and last year I quickly got into the routine of watching the Blue Print Tuesdays. It's an important 'dead' footy day to be eased through. Why change a good thing?

Bring it back weekly I say! What say you?

Maclure is in Perth for his mothers funeral hence the Friday shuffle this week I'd say (he was not on 360 for the same reason).

We should have The Blue Print on Foxtel just like the Filth and Scum shows. Instead we have to put up with a fortnightly Internet show (without the Google hangout this year, which was a great way of getting supportr involvement) and a crappy podcast, which I must say, has gone downhill quick this year.
yet another matter we trail the other big Melbourne clubs in.

Put up the $$$$$ and we can have a TV show and weekly Google hangout.

Collingwood gets a great deal with FoxFooty thanks to Eddie, part of his 't&c' for joining.

I also don't understand why the frequency and format was changed so much from last year. I thought it was gaining some degree of popularity and I certainly appreciated that there not much sugar-coating going on.

This was announced in December, and again in February.

The Club determined that the purpose of the Blue Print was for it to be an issues forum and not a review of the previous game. Accordingly it was decided to broadcast fortnightly instead of weekly. As King Kenny said, find some $ and you can have it on FoxFooty. I'm not convinced that'd be a good spend anyway, even if the cash was there.

The feedback the Club received in December was to keep it weekly and to make sure players and coaches were involved. Unfortunately they did not listen due to resources and $. We also told them that value for money for the membership was an issue and that premium content should be included in premium membership, but they went ahead and sell this for $50 stand alone. Not a good idea IMHO. However we should continue to make the points and I think things will come across. If they want to get the membership numbers up they need to.
