Ok, by some miracle you are granted the ability to make one decision involving the Carlton Football Club, what will it be? Something that helps in the short term? Or a long term 'big picture' type decision? Personally I'd be split between appointing Leigh Matthews as coach and getting rid of the crap monogram presently on our jumpers. (clearly haven't thought about this too much) |

Change the club mindset/philosophy from being a scared, inward, outdated, boys club mentality to an open, progressive, professional, cutting edge mentality that caters primarily for their vast membership.

The current monogram is art. It's absolutely beautiful. I find it humorous the same people who bleat on about reviewing the monogram and going back to the old style are the same ones who talk of us needing to become a more modern, progressive business entity. Changing the monogram back isn't going to turn a light switch on within our players. It isn't going to make them more skillful or fitter or more accountable off the field. It's a cosmetic feature of the jumper, ultimately, because when all is said and done the letters still read CFC and they still mean Carlton Football Club. Sure, it'd be easy to change it back. But, the act of reverting to the old is the embodiment of all people want this club to avoid. It's looking back, not forward. |

Would I have the persuasive powers to convince Mike Fitzpatrick to give up his role as AFL Chairman and take the Carlton Chair instead? |

Most people I know want the one which was always on the "official" Carlton correspondence etc. The one on the 98-2004 (?) jumper. |

Semantics, really. The current one is smoothed around the edges. As I said earlier, the main thing is that the letters are the same and they stand for the same thing. Wouldn't you agree? Changing the jumper again and again doesn't really sell confidence, does it? It doesn't really show strength or commitment. What we have now is absolutely fine, there is no need whatsoever to change it. |

I agree in principle with what you say there, sean, but the current "smooth" one looks awkward and off balance to me, whereas the previous one looks stronger and more stable. I do agree that the NRL habit of changing jumpers every week is a joke. |

Replace the communications department, in its entirety, with a department which has an idea about what they're doing, and knows the power of modern media and how to use it. |

I like your thinking there KK...I think it'll happen one day....hopefully before we celebrate our 150th in 4 years time. However I'm gonna go for a simple decision and one that through the efforts of philanthropy and sponsorship preserves our history for all to see. I'm of the opinion that not enough people know, or particularly care about our history. I want a living 'Blueseum'. I want it underneath the Gardiner Stand (there is a lot of room under there) and I want the Gardiner to be shown the respect it deserves and be given a facelift to bring it back to it's former glory. Wouldn't it be great to walk from the new facility into a state of the art Carlton Museum that was part interactive? |
