Shelley Ware would be brilliant... if you structured it along the lines of the couch on Offsiders, you'd Have Shelley Ware and McClure as your constants, and then rotate a guest or two through (i.e. Dean Jones)

Good point re McGuire media... and the way television is progressing, it's all going to be web based in 5 years anyhow.

A DeBolfo/Blueseum section would be excellent.

I'm sure Deano would find some way of comparing each week's performance to his double hundred in Madras :lol:

On SEN yesterday Tim Watson was ribbing Andy about losing the hosting gig for our B&F.

Did he do it last year and if so, any reason why we switched to Whateley this year?

I'm pretty sure that whateley did it last year.

So.... according to the club's twitter feed, Maher is back hosting the Blue Print.

I will be giving it a miss.

Sam Pang as special guest though

Agreed.

I wonder if they polled CFC members before casting this year ?

Seriously? @#$%&! off Maher.

Correct. Why do we persist with this Bozo ? It would be good if there were a way for no-one to watch this blueprint so the club questions as to why, and we can say 'cause of that di%$ Head Maher'.

Yep, see Andy is back on our BluePrint. Grr, he doesnt barrack for Carlton. Good to see the club listening to its supporters. I reckon everyone should boycott the Carlton BluePrint to see if we can put the point across that we dont want him at our club.

Disappointing. Hopefully it's only just one episode he hosts. I was informed by the club that the Blueprint won't be such a regular occurrence this season. It will still feature, just not as often.

It has a place in the digital offering, however the club are investing into some other initiatives this season that they feel will help deliver the a broad selection of content.

As of mid-February details were yet to be finalised however having club personnel (players / football dept) feature was to be a priority.

They were working through some timings and availability of hosts (existing and some new faces to be involved)... some of whom I had discussed with the club last year when I met to voice my displeasure at Andrew Maher and/or Gerard Whateley being seen to be involved at the club - or at least deriving an income from the club.

FWIW - I had pushed for Shelley Ware to host. From what I'm led to believe Mark Maclure couldn't give a rats arse whether the show was happening or not.

I'm on board with Sam Lane hosting if that's a possibility.

Probably not a possibility. There's been a nice war or words already on twitter. To @gahhgahh (who I think posts on here)...well done. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Sam Pang would be much better than Andy Maher, I think.

Yeah I saw that :clap:

Did you also notice some revisionist history from Maher? He now claims that all he's felt is sympathy for the players and isn't an apologist for Essendon* FC.

He might want to go back and have a listen to himself the morning after the interim report was handed in.

What a pathetic discussion. Judge Maher on his hosting of the TBP, but not his views on Essendon*.

Imagine how TC would react if Carlton censured TC's regulars who are the equal of Maher on other issues. You'd be crying foul.

That Richmond flog Whateley can @#$%&! off.

Pretty sure he didn't go to law school Kouta :wink:

...but go back to page 1...you might get an idea why the two are linked and maybe understand why Carlton shouldn't be represented by doping sympathizers.

There's another episode coming out on Thursday to discuss free agency and the port game. They better not spend 15 minutes discussing Gibbs leaving. Any chance of him signing by then?
