Why don't we produce a life like doll in a Carlton Jumper

Timmy Doll

Please don't tell me we are going to produce one of these. The wooden spoons I can live with but not this.

(P.S. Does anybody else notice the similarity with the mouth and Matthew Lloyd?)

Little Jayden the Magpie

McKenzie the Demon

Brooklyn the Hawk

Jase the Port kiddie

Gazza the Cat

The opportunities are endless.

Those dolls are creepy. Not nearly as creepy as the people who own them though.

Enough hijacking the thread with ideas for opposition team dolls.


yes, those dolls are creepy....but there are heaps of people who seem to like them. Otherwise the whole idea of them would have died a natural death years ago.

I wouldn't buy one though.

The question i ask then for this to happen

sorry i do see positives out of this but i feel that if a deal is to be done it has to be fair on both sides of the fence with similar oppurtunities for both CFC and the MCC for this to work

A great win in Tasmania tonight.

Before the game I thought given the fact Hawthorn (and St Kilda) have been playing games there for a few years the majority of crowd support would favour the Hawks. I was wrong. There was a lot of support for Carlton, especially late in the last quarter.

Having asked the question in the game thread, Dr Sherrin answered there is a lot of loyal support for the Blues in Tasmania

We had a day in Tassie earlier this year, but could we increase our interest down there, perhaps with a special membership package, by sending players down there more regularly, including some players during the split round in future years.

We obviously have great support across Australia in South Australia Western Australia and Sydney, that we also need to focus on, but I was really amazed at the crowd support we received tonight.

I have always wanted a pool table with blue cloth and a CFC logo on it.
I saw a guy who was doing this a few years ago, but it was not an official product and the club did not benefit at all from it.

I emailed the club about this last year and they thought it was a great idea.
The problem was that it had to be endorsed by the AFL and you know who first....................

I would also like to add some antique look Carlton mirrors to my bar, and stuff like Carlton Football Club Billiards Scorers (like the Jack Daniels ones), etc, etc.

Like I said, the marketing dept at the club thought it was great, but the need approval from Andy first..........

These sort of things may not be for everyone, but the point is that maybe we have to start to direct our requests/complaints to the AFL and ask "Why the flower are you holding back our club's merchandising ideas?"

Great idea DUC, although I think other clubs only do it after a win.

One thing I have been disappointed with this year, is that after both of our wins (and both big comebacks), the players haven't spread out and thanked/celebrated with the supporters at the ground, they have just walked off and clapped those at the race.

Given that most members have their reserved seats at the other end of the ground to the race (the new northern stand, and the southern stand at the Punt Road end), it would have been nice to have seen the players go go over to those parts and thank and celebrate with those supporters.

I noticed Adelaide doing this the other night, they make it nice and personal that instead of just booting them into the crowd they each hand out a player to someone personally - gave it a really nice feel and something most kids (and adults) would remember, shaking the players hand and handing them the ball.

After a win only though.

On the subject of clean energy - during the height of the "Selwood - Headland" spat last week, in Perth there was a typical Eagles "feel good / propaganda" piece on Channel Ten which centred around Chris Judd's environmentally friendly new car (a Toyota Prious).

At the tail end of the story it was mentioned that the Eagles intend to be the 1st Carbon Nuetral team in the AFL. In my opinion the Eagles have enough of their plates at the moment to worry about their carbon emmissions. Plus I understand that VISY board are one the most environmentally advanced large organisations in Australia.

I feel there is some genuine mileage in leveraging on VISY boards Environmental and Sustainability policies to fast-track Carlton into becoming the AFL's first carbon nuetral team.

As a starting point we could include purchasing carbon credits as an option in membership packs, cease our affiliation with Nike in favour of a fair trade sports good manufacturer (as part of our sustainability policy), ensure that the re-development of Princes Park uses environmentally sound designs.....

Good idea, let's do it!

Who cares if other clubs do it. The feelgood factor for our fans/members outweighs that.
