This is nice little story that came out of a Blueseum project to try and find an autograph for some charity work:

Just shows that if you help out a fellow Blues supporter you never know what positive consequences might happen down the track. Even 40 years down the track.

If anyone is interested in buying one of the photographs more details about them can be found here:

The money from their sale goes towards Carlton past players and in particular issues regarding their health as a result of playing football.

The contact for this is the president of the AFL X-Men, Ron O'Dwyer, a lovely bloke and an ex-carlton player himself. He can be contacted via phone on 0417 576 078 or via email at office at aflxmen dot com dot au.

If anything, the past five years have galvanised the Carlton community. We look out for each other more now than at any time in my memory.

Great story Jars - it's great that we as fans can do something for the on-field troops that have given us so many happy memories over the years.

Great work Jarusa.

Tell me - exactly how are they raising funds out of this?

Is there a way that the Blueseum can used to solicit donations of paraphernalia on behalf of the Club for it's own revenue raising purposes?

I cannot tell you exactly.

Except to say that the AFL X-Men are a non-profit organisation whose primary goal is the health care of past players, inparticular those pre-1995.

In terms of the Blueseum, I would hope the traffic and cache it has as a site once it is in the club's hands would allow it to offer itself for one of the 10-50k sponsorships for the club.

Blueseum sponsored by ANZ sound OK?

Have/will the club put in place a plan for the continual update of information on the Blueseum once it is handed over?

I'd hate for it to become a relic once it's handed over.

There will be a team of us who will run the site and keep it updated with new information and new articles etc. I don't think the work will ever run out. :oops:
