Seems that some people are unaware (while others are very aware

) of the impact that their opinions have on the broader Carlton supporter community.
Let me give it to you in cold hard facts.
Every day over 2000 people read this site (over 3000 people a day during trade week), this figure is growing every day.
Over the month this translates into over 10,000 people.
Over a year this would translate into at least over 50,000 people.
Considering that Carlton Supporters are now estimated at about 450,000 Australia wide the reach is substantial.
Now when you think about the 10,000 that visit here at least once a month, they are the hard-core of support, the true blue-blooded supporters of the CFC.
Now these 10,000 talk to all their mates, who invariably are more marginal supporters than you and I. I know it is hard to believe but there are lots and lots of supporters out there whose support is hanging by a knifes edge.
I think it is pretty common knowledge that if an alternative ticket was put up against the current board that a new board would be voted in very easily at this stage. The 10,000 that visit this site are informed and know what is going on around the club.
So then the point is when the majority of hard-core supporters already know what the deal is why hammer and badger the same points over and over again on TC?
It's like the B-52's that would fly over baghdad dropping millions of leaflets to the citizens in arabic saying 'everything is under control, we will rescue you, let us think for you'.
Information is good. Propaganda is bad.
TC has been getting much more propoganda than information in the last few months.
Information is fantastic. Let the masses know what is going on and bob's your uncle.
It is when the same message is repeated hundred sand hundreds of times that regular posters who do not mind letting everyone know about the positive things that are happening around the club get turned off from posting. All you are left with in the end is a putrid morass of negativity that infects 10,000 people a month, and by the time they tell all their mates about it, it infects the huddled masses that can give or take Carlton in a heartbeat. Well guess what they will give it up. CARLTON!
Those of you out there posting for votes, you already have your votes, change will come. There is no need for further slagging of the CFC brand, the members know what needs to be done. Slagging the brand now just sends a message to the tens of thousands of Carlton supporters out there with a tenuous grip on the club just to give up.
Your work is done, any more slagging of the brand will just end up in negative consequences for the club rather than positive.
Start giving a positive vision of the future and the support will follow.
