Least they have something to look back to, I've seen 2 flags in 41 years, and they were 20 years apart. |
Are you suggesting Buckley can't coach? Oh please give it a break! Get behind our coaching team and stop worrying about 2 flags in 41 years. You forget how much enjoyment we all got playing off in alot more. over these years. With the team we have this year Jesus Christ will be lucky to get a game.

| It would be easy for that club to exceed their 50,000 membership record. How hard is it to give away more 3-game memberships to the international students then they did two years ago? |

I like the poll results at the end of the article. The overwhelming majority don't support AFL assistance. I know that I cast my vote against it. Great to see the vitriol for the scum at such high levels pre season. The karma bus hit em hard after the Elliott era of cheating and they still haven't been able to get up. Long may they suffer.

Tigers have 63k members and we have 65k members.
There is a chance we will not have the highest member base in 2015. |

You have to admire Richmond really. Their last flag was longer ago than Carlton's but they continue to hang onto their members year after unsuccessful year. Good on them.
Carlton on the other hand are arrogant and lazy. Always looking for a quick fix and a long line of white knights they believe will bring them instant success. That's just not how it works. Anymore.
With a lot of older members fed up and refusing to renew their memberships and the club doing zero to entice younger members to sign up, I can only see their numbers continue to drop.
And few things in life would please me more.

I believe this year too, Carlton had a membership structor change.
I've heard of people having level 2 seats for 8-10 yrs being told if you want level 2 in 2015 you need to purchase their top tier membership costing $8xx (or there abouts), which in some cases has been double what they have paid previously.
Essendon have been running the same structure for many years, Collingwood jumped on in 2015 and Carlton jumped on in 2015 too it seems.
I think part of it is the MM factor. Many hated him at Collingwood and many wouldn't have signed up because of him. I know one person who hasn't. |

Least they have something to look back to, I've seen 2 flags in 41 years, and they were 20 years apart. |
Are you suggesting Buckley can't coach? Oh please give it a break! Get behind our coaching team and stop worrying about 2 flags in 41 years.

Not sure about that Hiss. I would make this change from last years teams -
Out: J.White (Omitted)
In: J.Christ (NEW- Bethlehem U/18's)
I think he would get a game, assuming he actually exists as no one has seen him at training yet. |

Apparently Bucks doesn't like his defensive pressure.

Why would you think I was suggesting Buckley can't coach? Us under performing since the late 1950s has nothing to do with Bucks.
