Thank You. It truly is sad though, but all people want to do is ridicule and belittle the bearer of bad news. Oh well, I can live with that.

PS. Synbad....blind freddy (yep me) could see it one year ago. "Morgue" you say........gee where did I hear that before.

I hope we can get our act together and soon.

'Harry hindsight" Surrey!...Give me a break you would still have us at Princes Park!

And what are you doing Surrey?

Buying a Membership ticket?

There's a lot of "high and mighty" going on around here.

its @#$%&! simple onfield success leads to off field success and thats it......

Sorry for swearing but im sick of all this shit, some of you are so miserable it sickens me, im sure everyone is doing there absolute best for our club...... can i ask you how you think Collo feels, he has come in on his own accord when times are so tough to help our club he has initiative...... You think that is easy...... love to see you guys trying to rebuild this club and handle all this pressure.

This club will never be together while we have the current setup at the top. Collo may be able to count the cash (well my 5 yo son could do that with the little we have) but he cannot insipire people to give it, or spend it or want to be a part of this once great club.

We changed our logo. OK some like it, some don't - but where was the media - where was the lanch - where was the optimistic patriotic call to arms for the faithful behind our new(ish) standard. No - we just slide it in, make as little noise as possible - waste another chance for promotion, publicity and marketing. I am almost of the belief though that the marketing department now shun creating opportunities for Collo to front the media - as they are well aware that all he does is convince Carlton supporters that the future is doomed - in front of a TV camera he does the cause more harm than good!

He must go, and he must go now - the longer he stays the less money he will have to count and the worse we will be. He is core of the problem - not the solution.

And as Synbad has often said, what we are doing with a person like Graham Smorgon as Vice-President - god only knows. He knows nothing about football, looks down at everyone around the club (well they were not born with a silver spoon in every oriface like him), and does nothing for the promotion or vitality of the club.

Jack was a discrace to this club, and lasted way to long. He did however predict as he was leaving office that Collo and Smorgon would turn the place into a morgue - one of the few things he got right.

Precisely the problem - he is working hard and he is doing his best - and it falls way short of what is required in this day and age. No one has ever questioned his commitment and dedication - it is his talent and ability to do the job of leading this club that are lacking. His talent and ability may be great for running the Dome, but 3 years of his leadership should have convinced everyone by now that he is not made of what we need at the top of our club.

Collo was what we needed then, but now, we need more. The comments on Collo failing to inspire are true, so who is out there to lead the club forward? How can we ever hope to land a full roster of sponsors if we can't even attract an off field leader?

More to the point, what is your solution 7dom? Sit on your hands while watching Collo and comp. destroy us, while falling all over Demefroot to get a tick now that where at Telstra Dome, which he runs.
Good for you pal. Hope you can live with yourself.

How is it possible for the Carlton Football Club to move forward when all its supporters do is bitch and moan about each other?

For all the ranting and raving going on about replacing Collo and Co. there has been very few ideas about who any replacement might be. Does anyone have any suggestions? It was mooted that Daniel Grollo had some interest to get involved? Would he be suitable with little football knowledge he probably has? Good business nous though. Any others. Ahmed Fahour? I cant see any replacements really emerging out as strong candidates

Exactly. SIgn up and support your f#@king club.

Then come the next election, if you choose, vote them out.

Congratulations CK95

But before you can vote you have to flop it out to see who's got the biggest. That's what I've been reading in this thread anyway.

Let me tell you .... "If" I don't buy a membership this year (haven't yet and have made that known ), it will be because of Collo and his team not progressing the club. "If" I don't buy a membership this year, I will never, ever buy one again. Reasons are many and obvious. I am not a fair weather supporter (which you are trying to portray me as). I will stick by my word and probably support my team from FOXTEL/CO-OPERATE like the AFL and COLLO want us to do.

That my friend you can count on.

News for you 7dom you are not the only member of the club here and you are not the only person who donates to the club.
Get off your high horse because you are just the same as everyone here.

I was responding to a question on what i do,The Game..

Of course i realise there are lots of others who do the same.What i would like to see is that all those who profess there support, get out and buy a Membership,not sit there and whinge and moan and make ludicrous statements about bring Jack back!

FFS,why the hell do you think we are in this predicament?

What a cop-out Surrey!

And how the Hell do you expect the Club to turn around if Membership is withheld?

Oh sorry,of course Dick Pratt et al will bail us out!

Get real!...We all have to get behind them!

because your boy Collo let his buddies at the AFL chop off our heads and sh!t down our necks.
