Other ways for FTF to raise money
« on: July 02, 2011, 04:44:48 PM »
More useful ways of raising money than playing Carlton.....

I'm thinking we get the players at the cnr of punt rd and swan st, washing windows with tissues

Maybe we set up a "fighting Carlton fund" and siphon the money

Maybe we just stop donating any fuckingthing until these so called players actually perform.

I know what happened..... Richmond are protesting against the AFL because of the TV right payments......someone forgot to tell the Blues though.

Giving money to this fund now would be like standing infront of a burning fire chucking 100s into it. Not worth it. Why should we give these clowns our money so they can have great lifestyles whilst the rest of us are struggling. Fuckem. And that includes not only the players but the administrators and staff as well.

Yep no Jack pre recorded calls to my mobile.

Or Daniel from the RFC asking me to buy $200 raffle tickets.

Win get in the 8 make finals get a better slice of the T.V. right and that will equate to

Bigger crowds more members more dollars more money more respect.

No point eliminating debt when we put up efforts like that.

Instead of an FTF how about a WYRTF. Where's Your Respect Tigers Fund.

Carlton players are wiping their snakes with it in the showers that's where.

 What if we get Gary March and Benny Gale to hang a sign around their neck "will drop pants for foods" outside the social club next sat night night against the bombres?

I'd probably throw a half chewed chill roll

Honestly! I drove three and a half hours down for the game, staying the night with the kids! I am injured and can't play and thought i would come down and be the 19th man instead of supporting my own local team.That costs coin! I wrestle the wacko ticketing system and hope like hell a ticketing inspector does not get on the tram! I arrive at the ground after having my hand in my pocket all morning. Then i have some girl coming up handing me a coupon that i have already recieved in the mail! I said, "no thanks, i have already donated to the FTF". She replies, " Well, you could always donate  again!" 100 plus points later, ummm, no, i think i have donated enough!

I read stuff like that and it makes me even angrier at the team.
Great effort GR12, pity the team don't value the jumper like you

I go to RFC games week in and week out, don't travel interstate.
Came home tonight my wife was in the living room feeding my seven month old daughter. She had watched the news and knew the result. She gave me a wry smile and my daughter had this huge grin on her face and she was shaking her head squealing happily and moving the rest of her body in her mothers lap all without any words being said by me and my wife. I smiled kissed my wife and daughter and sat on the couch and took my daughter.
I know how fortunate I am to have that in my life and I thank God every day for it.

I see the RFC and what they wanted today to stand for them, 19th man, FTF, all the fans who gave their hard earned to have their names on the jumper, all those big words on Tuesday night at the Cocktail Function which I and many others attended and I wonder whether they feel as fortunate as I do and many others when they put in efforts like that on days that they as a club want us to embrace and help with our time our participation and our money. Do they feel fortunate to have 47K members after 30 years of mediocrity? Do they feel fortunate to have a supporter base willing to go to games who love the club who are passionate about the club?

I know we are rebuilding but lack of effort, desire, committment and application should not be excused under any circumstances. Just as we seemed to be getting some respect back we ruin it by putting in an effort like that. It's an illness within our club that Hardwick has not yet eradicated and until we do we will keep on failing.
Jack Dyer games in 2003 both the Port and the Hawthorn ones.
Centennary game in 2008.
Round 1 2009
Many individual milestone games.
Today FTF 19th man game.

Other clubs win these games and win them well regardless of the opponent. It's not only our list that still requires another few rounds of delistings and using the draft as well but our culture is far from being eradicated of the so called cancers that have eaten away at the club since Tommy Hafey's sacking (departure) in 1976. Yes we won a flag in 1980 and it all fell into place but if those cancers didn't exist we would have had a much better rest of the decade on and off field!

It's time for the club to stop this fans are the most passionate we have the best song and the 19th man stuff. With poor on field efforts its bordering on this mythical Skataboner thing at Naught Melb. Do your rebuild properly make finals win a flag and then we can create an identity we all can be proud of rather than trying too hard to involve fans and let them down with ineptitude and failure.

Club can't ask for nothing from us now. Just hope the team can do the talking and win back the ground lost. That's all they can do. I think the next few weeks will be very quiet until they start spruiking the usual annual end of season RFC sales in mid to late August.

Maybe in this our darkest hour it is time for us to step up and support the club like never before.
