Caz,
The point is not what the board has done. It is what it hasn't done because it is a cumbersome do nothing collective.
Financially, it is all Visy and Matheson and you can not rely on them forever. There has never been any pressure on the football department until now...which is too late. George Harris or Jack Elliot would have been scouring the corridors
There is no dynamism or pushing of the boundaries. What is the big idea to drive the club forward? eg. playing games in New Zealand, interstate club games at Visy Park, A move away from Etihad. Remember we once tried a soccer club. We failed but we were willing to throw a punch. We are never first at anything anymore...... I lost faith when we went to an accounting company for a vision paper. Which is tantamount to saying we have no ideas but will outsource to an organisation that pretends to have a few.
What about our internet strategy?
Maybe there is a dollar in an upmarket social club?
How long is it before you don't watch games in TV but move to pay per view on the internet?
How are we integrating ourselves with African community in Carlton or the Fitzroy Reds (natural carlton supporters)
I want vision. I want to embrace the new. I want tomorrow today.
MJ best post I have read
This board is a dinasour
It relys too much with handouts from Bruce and Jeanie
We have been left behind
Interesting you say NZ
Why not at least look at it
Because nothing is more certain than a club playing some home games there
WHy 3hours away
WHy 4 million live there around two thirds live in the North Island
A sports loving country
How about setting the wheels in motion
Look at the possibility of doing something outside the box
This board is littered with cobwebs. No innovative thinking at all.
Cazz IT needs an injection of new faces to inject life back into it
