The process which allowed you to come to the conclusion it was funny was probably corrupt and motivated by corporate greed though.

Hate to say it but I'm almost beyond disappointment.
I expect we will lose to GWS and Geelong and then what ?
We have a coach rightly or wrongly not prepared to resign and rightly or wrongly a Board, not prepared to sack him.
We have a team, which I think has quite some ability but is for whatever reason unable/unwilling to give it's all collectively.
Winning games would certainly go some way to dealing with the hurt Members are feeling.
Realistically though, a team that plays its heart out every week is what Members need to see; feel; support and encourage.
The way I feel, I would prefer Carlton to move to the VFL, play at Princes Park again, become successful again and return to being a Members club again.

The circuit breaker for this Club to start again, would be for Members to secure an EGM demanding a spill of all Board positions and fresh elections.

That would open up the Club to the opportunity of true Member participation, well beyond the razzamatazz and tokenism currently on display.

If it results in the Club losing financial benefactors, so be it.

I would prefer to work to keep my club viable, because I feel it's my club and trying its guts out to be successful.

Just had to get that off my chest.


Sounds like a lot of work and hassle, cant we just find another rich family?


:clap:

Interesting look back at these old ones: http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/blues- ... 6415081335

Quote:
CARLTON powerbroker and pokies king Bruce Mathieson has called for sweeping change at Visy Park, including a top-to-bottom review of every job.

Mathieson yesterday lashed Carlton's recruiting in the past decade and hit out at what he sees as a "boys' club".

Ranked Australia's 37th-richest man, Mathieson has ensured Carlton's long-term prosperity with a gift of five poker-machine venues that will pour millions of dollars into the Blues' coffers.

It gives him significant power at Carlton, with Mathieson yesterday telling the Herald Sun he was sick of continued losses and the Blues mates' club.


Determined for a review to have a look at the administration...is he still of the same view?

Nice guy, hang shit on young kids.

MLG's kids are school age.

Have a crack at board members, have a crack at MLG

But leave kids out of your miserable bile

You two dudes are shooting at the wrong people.

I reckon you'd like each other if you met.

Happy to arbitrate.

Ockham/GWS/Synbad.

Let me know.

Only way this club is going to sort out it's shit is if all stakeholders end up on a similar path.

Or we can indefinitely engage in shitfights about nothing.

Wow...

...won't that be exciting...

Point is if two keyboard warriors can't make it work why on earth should we expect those with skin in the game to get their shit together and sort out the club?

FORMER Carlton president John Elliott blames the club’s hierarchy as much as coach Mick Malthouse for the Blues’ current malaise.

Elliott was sitting back at home yesterday crossing between the races and the football on television, but he was still clearly frustrated by Carlton’s 77-point loss to Geelong on Friday night, and by the mixed messages coming from the club.
