Blues meet to consider seeking AFL assistance
THE new streamlined Carlton board will convene tonight to vote upon a series of groundbreaking issues that will determine the future of the club. The Age believes there is a push from sections of the board to seek AFL financial assistance, with the Blues set to announce another significant loss at next month's annual meeting. While the football club is expected to announce a small profit, that will be more than swallowed up by a big social club loss — the size of which is still being determined by the club's auditors.

Carlton remains one of several Victorian clubs that does not have a ball sponsor, and is yet to strike a commercial deal for coach Denis Pagan as he embarks upon his second three-year stint with the Blues. It also faces 2006 without its long-term Optus agreement. The Blues are not confident of signing a sponsor for Princes Park, given the stadium's new position as a training venue rather than an AFL matchday ground.
Now swansblog.com is always the first to jump on a charity cause because we are just a big pack of softies. So therefore I propose that we the fans of the Sydney Swans Football Club return the kind favour of Charity, Carlton offered us in our hour of need way back in 1992. As they say forgive, but never forget. Well I haven't forgotten and well I certainly never have, nor never will forgive that pack of vultures for what they tried to do, so therefore I want to see the club make the following kind offer to Carlton:
Collo you can,
- Close down the Carlton Football Club.
- Get rid of all your players.
- Allow the Swans to then select 2 or 3 of your best players as a tokin jesture.
- Transfer all remaining sponsor accounts to us
- Then suggest that the Swans take over 11 of your games and play them in Sydney.
In return the Swans will use those tokin players and even throw in a tokin patch of Navy Blue on our shorts just to compensate all your fans left behind (can't allow broken hearted fans can we).
So Swans fans please give that Carlton may die and we can grow.
