Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXV - 'Loopy' Season has begun

[AndyLucimitis]

I heard something on SEN the other day that mentioned their app is in line with the TV coverage. Don't know how true it is, or how good their commentary is but I'm sure it'll be better than Channel 7

I heard Channel 7 are also trying to synch Brian Taylors mouth to his brain .... no luck so far !

 

[KohPhi]

Exactly why I am reluctant to watch "replays".

Who knows if you'll get a different result?

At least if you watch the Kayo Mini's, your pain will be over quickly!

 

[myblueroan]

At least if you watch the Kayo Mini's, your pain will be over quickly!

Not if you get buffering issues.
I think I tried one time and the only footage I got was a cosmic lesson on how life is a circle, turning endlessly.

 

[Bluey19]

We aren't actually 'owed' anything as members, let alone explanations. Enjoy the ride, and take the good with the bad when it comes.

Yes, we most certainly are as paying members of the football club.

 

[gab213]

Yes, we most certainly are as paying members of the football club.

You get entry to games and the right to vote at an AGM or special meeting. There's nothing else specified and you still aren't 'owed' anything.

Ha. This again. The righteous demanding their points & premierships. Next they'll want hot pies at the games.

 

[skadoosh]

I'm planning on enlisting Maurice Blackburn to launch a class action against the Carlton Football Club because they owe us premierships and have not delivered in their contracts under Aust lii. Section 45a.

Who's with me? I have spare pitchforks ready!

And full strength beer.

Make sure you mention the Bobblehead fiasco..

I’m in mate. I want justice for the fact I can no longer get peanuts in a bag pegged at me at home games. And the lack of daily email updates from Luke Sayers directly keeping me abreast of whether there was enough tea/coffee on the break rooms.

Was quite happy with the cold pies on Friday night...

 

[David Sylvian]

We're owed a well ran club.

We're owed a team that is entertaining to watch.

We're owed success.

Do you need to be reminded the club is owned by the members?

Hi Bosty, If you are waiting for all this to happen you are missing what is happening now.
No game style is perfect, no club is run perfectly, no season plays out perfectly, no membership group has the same agenda.
However you have choices as a member in how you support the CFC, unfortunately you appear to have taken a mildly negative view on a public forum which probably means you are ‘owed’ a little push back.

 

[ESKIE]

It’s about the journeeeee !!

 

[branedotorg]

So, what are we actually 'owed' as members? I know we are season ticket holders and have the right to vote at general and special meetings, these are all things that come with membership but what are we 'owed'?

I would say that it would be prudent for the club to engage with its members, which it does, but that isn't something 'owed' to us.

this is pretty circular but they owe us an AGM and the right to vote and that the direction of the club is strategically aligned with with Objects of the constitution - some of which directly support programs such as Carlton Respects

(edit) that is it

(a) In playing the game of AFL football, to provide its supporters with enjoyment, engagement, fulfilment and hope of success;

Wasn't he the one that dumped his Adidas sponsorship because he believed the heels on his socks needs to be on the bottom and not the top.

And note that that exerpt reads 'hope of success' not guaranteed success!

[Prem17]

With our first pick falling outside the top 10, I like the idea of selecting the best key defender

Why not?
We got 2 Coleman Medallists in that range

Of course, there are matters of governance and statutory requirements. ( I have already acknowledged the rights of members to vote at AGMs and special meetings) .Those are requirements that you must fulfil.

That wasn't what the discussions have been about. People are saying we are 'owed' success, in terms of premierships etc. That is totally different.

Was at Festival Hall for the last special meeting.
Best we never have one again no matter what.
Exercised our rights that night. What a fiasco.
Let the club run the club I say.
