Are the Carlton Footy Club looking at doing anything special for the Flood relief?

Today l hear of Tim Cahill offering the following:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Tim-Cahill-Evert ... 3f06747e2b

Why don't Carlton get on the front foot for the relief and also as a good promotional opportunity for the club to come out and offer something to the fans and funds for the relief.

I think if the club offered a chance to sit in the coaches box to a fan, meeting all the players, getting a signed ball from all players and guernsey, there would be quite a few people out there that would pay thousands for that opportunity.

Just a thought for the people in the club to think about it.
Good for marketing the club and relief.

They got Hammer to read a plea on an autocue. They probably think they're geniuses for that.

Coutts: Hammer's a Queenslander too! OMG we're awesome! High-five!

Are any other non-QLD clubs doing anything? I assume the Lions are getting involved somehow.

With the AFLPA confirming this morning [ http://bit.ly/gg2Epf ] that the players had resolved to give $150,000 to those affected by the floods...does this mean that on average, each player is donating around $220 to the flood relief appeal? :|

Bit harsh. Very decent of Hammer and the club I thought.

The CFC also gave $20,000, as announced by Hammer. And he was reading cue cards, not an auto-cue.




Clearly doesn't hang out with Coutts enough, as he had to use the cue cards... and his delivery wasn't off-beat enough

Actually spotted Daniel rich and Daniel Merrett & others up to their knees in muck helping out a shopkeeper in Brisvegas on the news. They walked by the reporter who didn't recognise them and seemed to be just getting on with it.

More an indictment on the general ineptitude of our comms dept most of the time. In fact, I wouldn't be half surprised if Hammer was the one who went to THEM with the idea.

I got a tweet yesterday that Israel Folau and some other GWS players have gone up to volunteer and join in.

Was he able to get both of his foetus hands around the handle of a shovel?

The club should help out the Victorian flood victims, they seem to be the ones who need the publicity.

Maybe they could donate some of the $196.50 profit they make on a $200 club parka.

Andrew Walker said on his twitter that he was going to Echuca to help with sandbagging. I think it would be nice if the whole club went with him to help out as a way of support.
