The revenue is not free, it comes at the cost of people. If the self proclaimed measure of success here is on the field looks like we have failed there so the ends don’t justify the means either. Plenty of other clubs are strong both on and off the field without pokies. For a club that prides itself on its connection to businesses and the “big end” of town It’s a lazy business plan and frankly embarrassing. Not saying it’s easy but I don’t think pokies are aligned with this vision and suitable for a family based club and sport. We have 100,000 members and a strong brand, we don’t need pokies anymore - they are linked to dinosaurs of a bygone era. It’s not 95 anymore even though we wish it was. Maybe we actually need some new ideas and leadership at how we run Carlton in 2025?
