Did anyone notice on Foxtel that the commentators said that King Richard shed a tear or two in his pre-game speech about the CFC players who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Well that speech was inspired by the Blueseum's own Pat's Fitztrick!!

Well done!! :-D

Yeah, I did hear that. Great stuff!

Jars (or whoever) does the blueseum have alot of links to articles from the old Carlton website? Don't ask why but while looking at the Andrew Balkwill profile :oops:

I clicked on the "climbing everest' link - wouldn't open - I think it has something to do with the old website?

There were about 100 from memory, I think most of them were fixed.

If you find one that does not work you just have to edit the page and with the link replace the www in

www.carltonfc.com.au

with oldwebsite

to get oldwebsite.carltonfc.com.au

The links should work then.

Oldwebsite didn't work for that one.

That was a pretty old Buzz article so maybe it was no longer on the oldwebsite either?

Let me tell you - that article was as funny as most buzz articles. Not sure if that's a positive or not....

ps Are the Buzz still contracted to work for carltonfc.com.au? They haven't been around this year?

Notice how whenever TISM are on tour The Buzz never write any articles!

hey i'm a little confused here on the blueseum site on the playing list of 1974 you have Neil Chandler and Max o'hallaran playing in number 22 did they have the same number or did one get the boot wearing a different number before.

Rambo,

According to my records Chandler played in a few games at the beginning of 1974 in the number 22. Then later in the year O'Halloran played a few games in the number 22.

Not exactly sure what happened, but it looks like Chandler may have either been sacked or left the club midway through 1974 and then O'Halloran took over his number.

Can anyone remember?

Does anyone have any suggestions for the Blueseum? Anything need changing or could be added?

If you have any ideas let them rip!

molsey · **Posted:** Fri May 11, 2007 2:20 pm

Suggestions?

* We need a 'Recruit your Uncle' campaign to pick the brains of those who can remember games from the 1950's and 1960's to get details in the Blueseum. 'Jock', 'Andy', 'kkk' and a few others are great but we need some real memories.

* We need to find a way to source real articles from the era to go with our game reviews. Perhaps an information sharing / advertising arrangement to allow the Age or HS game review to be attached ('steve's idea)

* It may be good to have multiple game reviews for each game, if possible, to highlight the different opinions we all have. Although most game disagreements appear to have been stylistic, you could see 'the Optimist' versus 'the Pessimist' perhaps being interesting. ('steve's idea)

* Stat Shots. Ive done 50 of these, cross-linking all stats and votes pages, and I've only got 1050 to go, but I think these are fascinating and if we could do these for all players we'll be doing them justice.

* Cross-promotion with the Club. Difficult at the moment but there has to be a way.

* Pre-VFL - this needs to be cleaned up and tied in better.

* I've added 'Where are these players from' pages for NSW, SA, WA - I think it would be good to do pages for famous country towns under 'State & Club' to link all Blues from the same town. J - tatura could be made famous!!!

* Game review banners - can we augment this to have spot on the ladder v how many teams in the comp at that time?

Thanks about that,before my time even thou i heard a bit about Chandler and very little little of O'halloran.I think some players tended to leave the club or like you said were sacked,it would be good to find out,that's kind of rare someone playing in the same number in the same year

What about indicating who the home team was in the panels at the top of the game review pages???

Brilliant stuff...
I registered some time ago (got the mesage that someone will get back to me and didn't happen)...Can't remember what I had spotted that I was going to contribute to.. :oops:

That happens with age.

Anyway....I would suggets a "commercial" memorabilia section...links to how to buy "old" merchandise....even "old" games.

I saw the merchandise shop flogging the last game at PP T-shirts for $10? ( I think) a while back...mistake. This could be sold at full price via the Blueseum.....let alone "donations" of things like footy cards etc that could be scanned and then auctioned or whatever....

Just a thought

Even though i've only been a TC member for a short time,i've browsed this site for a while & every time without fail i come across a post that makes me lol.
Would it be possible to collate all the classic posts from the past to provide some light relief ,as we all know,laughter is the best medicine.
Just a thought :-D

PS- i realise the enormity of the task,maybe we could start from 2007.

Neil Chandler was cleared to St. Kilda during that season. Pretty unique player was Neil Chandler - played off the bench in 3 Premierships for Carlton 68, 70 and 72. :wink:

He would have started on the ground in 72 - Andy Lukas and Gary Crane were the reserves in that game. :wink:

And I was there too. :oops:

But what I meant was - it was a super effort for a player to have appeared in all those 3 premierships - given he isn't mentioned in the same breath as the other triple premiership players of that era amd I think there were only 9 players that played in all 3 of these flags:

- Robert Walls
- Kevin Hall
- Gary Crane
- Ian Robertson
- Alex Jesaulenko
- Peter Jones
- John Nicholls
- Adrian Gallagher
- Neil Chandler

Not bad company.

How about a 'Great Traditions of Carlton' section where we can list, or provide cross-links, to some of the things that have made us great, or made us enjoy following the Blues over time. We could start with a link to the Premierships page, the Father-Sons page, a page for our Italian players (with cross-links to the Italian Team of the Century)...

...We could also add a link to the Woof:

http://www.blueseum.org/cfc/tiki-index. ... The%20Woof

This page needs a sound file of a few of the big woofs over time. Is it easy to pull these from videos of different eras and add as sound links in the Blueseum?

camel · **Posted:** Thu May 24, 2007 10:40 am

You should be able to embed any youtube clip into the body of a Blueseum article. Just ask Jarusa.

Thanks for all the suggestions, keep them coming!

There has been a new additition to the Blueseum menu, thanks to the hard work of pblue (tcblue on TC) there are some new pages that make finding individual image galleries of players much easier!!

They can be found here:

http://www.blueseum.org/cfc/tiki-index. ... +Galleries

Great idea pblue!

Is this true?
Stars' numbers are up

Quote:

Carlton's Bruce Doull famously wore No. 11 but the book reveals that in his first five seasons he wore No. 4 before he tired of the attention he got from having a locker near Carlton legend John Nicholls (No. 2) and requested a change. Doull then wore No. 11 from 1972-86.
