With our new president taking over, his number one priority appears too be on field success.

In many threads people also mention "on field success"

As we stand this year and move forward what two TC ers identify as being on field success?

Obviously on field success equates too more members, sponsorship etc.

Do we place a set number of wins as being on field success?

Do we place an average losing margain as under 25 points as on field success?

Do we place not losing a game by more than 40 points as onfield success?

If we won 2 games this year, but our greatest losing margin was too Fremantle at 18 points or whatever it was is that ok?

I personally see on field success as not a number of wins but:

- going too a game knowing we are a chance of winning
- seeing our players collectively develop and play consistently
- seeing my club as being attractive too entice established players too want too play for
- not getting done by more than 4 -5 goals at worst.

What are others definition?

Supporting the Blues No Matter What

For most clubs on field success involves actually winning, but we're starting from a long way back.

If we had 7-8 wins, no 100 point drubbings, and only 2-3 50 point losses I'd probably consider it a successful year.

being competitive, passionate, courageous, willing to fight for a win, work hard to achieve the ultimate prize

On field success means winning games. It is not honorable losses.

If we are competitive every game but lose then that may make us diehard supporters a little fonder of our boys and may make it a little easier to accept the loss, but it will never attract the big sponsors, it will never attract the fickle supporter that jumps on the bandwagon when we are winning.

Carlton know that they have about 20,000 -25,000 core members that will sign up because they bleed blue. That is our bottom line. Where we need to grow is our top line.

Winning is the only success criteria to get people with a "passing" intrerest in Carlton to come along to the games. Winning constantly will maybe even convert a few of these into faithful blues supporters.

Carlton has to win, has to play finals football, has to win premierships.

Our membership numbers show that the Carlton faithful aren't as many as the club thought...

Win, Win, Win... Nothing else matters.
