A new TC rule:

- whomever makes a "not a good supporter" "you barrack for Richmond" line should be banned under the conditions that its not funny and not clever, been done to death and is just downright stupid.

What next? Viagra jokes? Women driver gags? Perhaps some timely Bill Clinton lines?

LIFT YOUR GAME, PEOPLE

IF YOU SAY "GO BARRACK FOR RICHMOND" YOU ARE, IN FACT, A DOLT WHO IS NOT CREATIVE ENOUGH TO ARTICULATE A MEANINGFUL REBUTTAL

ITS BEEN DONE TO DEATH.... COME UP WITH SOMETHING ELSE FFS!!!!

Also the other day I bought a chocolate bar... it was called a GIBBS bar.

I put in my back pocket so it could work on it's defensive side.... but I left it there all day and it melted.

Now it doesn't look like the GIBBS bar I originally bought and I fear it will never get a Rising Star nomination

So your point is that we shouldn't engage in mindnumbing repetition ...

Which brings me to this jewel in the crown of literary efforts:

The only worthwhile response to mindnumbing and unimaginative efforts such as that is -

Why don't you just spit on the coaches ;-)

Whilst not signing up wouldn't help the situation, I couldn't blame you to be honest. It's beyond a joke and I can understand why nobody would want to watch this rubbish.

As someone else suggested write a letter to Dick, might be the best course of action.

you forget Pagan has a plan, he is secretly plotting to sign an undersized or immobile ruckman for the next four years and then it will rain premierships. At the very least you will think it's raining :wink:.
Steven King's manager is very worried.

This is a real issue as much as we have derided the post.

The average supporter can not handle these frustrations - year in year out we go in with confidence and by round 5 its shot - so much hope built up over the off season for it all to come crumbling down so early in the piece.

There's only so much of this frustration people can take.

Now i will buy my membership and merchandise regardless but as witnessed here others won't.

We have a real issue on our hands here - one thats bigger than worrying about draft picks etc -

There could be a real backlash if something isn't done soon- especially with everyones inflated false hopes that Pratt would come riding in and clean the joint out.

Rightfuly or wrongfully there's a lot of frustrated and dissapointed carlton members/supporters out there who can't handle the pain much longer.

I fear Pratt has to do something and do it soon - even if its just making a stand in the media against the umpires - we need to be seen to taking action - because from the outside it can look at times that we are soft and sitting back doing nothing.

Hey

I am very frustrated with Pagan. Anyone know if Richard Pratt has an email address ?

Has anyone ever written to him ? I wonder if he would respond.

We need to do something............

If we all do that, we will lose 33,000 times $130 (more or less). That comes to.............errrrrrrrrrrrr.......eeerrrrrrrrrrrr.
A lot.
We are in a bad enough financial situation without people baling out now.
I live in Mexico. I get nothing for my membership. My mate, Beatle has my ticket in case he wants to take a friend to the footy. He lives interstate so he gets to go about three or four times a year on a good year.
There are lots of members like us who give more than we get.
The club needs us all.
It is your right not to renew your membership. It is your money and the club has no right to it, nor claim to it.
But it DOES need it.

As an aside, Kevin Sheedy has a membership in every Victorian club, including Carlton. So does Sam Newman apparently (his only savng grace in my opinion if that is the case).

Think about it carefully before you urge an exodus. if you want to influence the decision on the coach, you can always go to an AGM and vote.

Just a nitpick ... who is the subject in this phrase, not the object, and thus should be in the nominative form whoever, not the accusative.

Just a personal bugbear I have .... :wink:

Carry on ...

PS Perhaps Pagan could go and coach Richmond ...

If you're suggesting a coach-swap with Tanning Salon Terry, then go wash your mouth out!
