"Be part of the journey" 

An overworked and overused phrase that is used by politicians, bureaucrats, and just about everyone else  that has no conviction or passion. 

Perhaps they could have added ""as we go forward, be part of the journey"

And perhaps qualify the slogan by stating that Rome was not built in a day.  

From a marketing perspective, a big fail.  

Bleed Red and Blue, Raise Hell or something that stirs something, anything.

    This really needs to be fleshed out a little more.

    Where is the appeal to 'families'... I mean 'hard-working families'... I mean 'hard-working Victorian families.'.. or perhaps 'hard-working Victorian mums and dads'?

    "As we go forward, we want hard-working Victorian families to join us on our journey as we strive to realise our core values of being a successful and sustainable club into the future."

    Or you could scrap all that and just borrow from Julia Gillard: "We are us!"

    For a so called power club that gets prime time games & privileges , Carltons membership is very average.

    I see it the other way around...for an average club, it has quite powerful membership.

    I'm pretty keen on playing finals, but in 10 years time we will probably be [censored] again. I don't let performances dictate my love or passion for the team. I'm sure we will play finals in the not so distant future and maybe even win one, but i sure as hell know it'll go [censored] up and will be down the bottom again.

    Got my membership package while I was in Australia on holiday. 

    Got the scarf but it wasn’t bad this time.

    Can you post a pic of the scarf? i won't get one until round 1 as I'm an Afl member (although i wear my 2010 one, which imo is the best scarf we've had this decade).

    Hey Colin

    Have they shorted the scarf by the mandatory 7mm again this 

    year?

    I have every scarf since 1989 and that is the average length decrease annualised

    give a few more years and it will no longer be a scarf

    What a Gyp!

    Here it is (as Roosy once said).

    The reverse side is red with blue lettering and bars. Plus no logo and no ‘Member 2018’ patch.

    We should be able to spend the next three days and about 100 more posts questioning the meaning of a lack of "2018" on the scarf. Does this mean it will be the last scarf handed out free with memberships for the next few years? Or a decade? Or forever? Is it deliberate or is it just a design error? Or a manufacturing error?  Has Jack Watts tampered with the knitting machinery? Or does it mean Hogan's off to Fremantle?

    Did all members receive their scarf with their membership pack? I received the membership pack but no scarf, and heard rumours of some people receiving multiple scarfs. Not too fussed about whether or not I get it, but would just like to know what's going on.

    No scarf here either with the pack and they sent me the wrong membership cards for the kids.

    Probably the same people who sent out the finals info last year.

    We are still not flash in a few areas.

    It was disappointing.

     I spoke to someone from the membership department via phone in regards to customising the kids cards back in October, it would have been nice for them to receive the cards with their favourite players on there in time for Christmas. 

    I did receive a "sorry about that" though.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
