Dear Carlton Football Players and Facility.
this year we are celebrating our 150th year and you have chosen the hashatag to be ‪#‎UNITED‬! WHY? Today at the Gabba, local support and cheersquad members who have made their way up to support you this weekend, atteneded a light training session. the fans (approx 20-30) were given a particular seating/viewing area where you trained right in front of. at the end you walk straight off, no thank yous, no waves or thumbs up NOTHING...THIS IS WHY MEMBERSHIPS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE. no love for the fans. YOU TRAINED RIGHT IN FRONT OF US it would of taken 10 minute to sign the young kids jumpers and get a photo with your supporters, not to forget thanking cheersquad members for traveling all this way just to support you as well as provide a banner!! Yall need to take into consideration the fans as without youd have no careers or club!!!!!! #UNITED ‪#‎takealonghardlookatyourselves‬

I reckon this is a beat up!

Would the players be informed that "approx. 20-30" supporters are sitting in a particular area and should be acknowledged at the end of training?  I think not. 

I would have been happy just to have a seat from which to watch training.  Being a supporter is about supporting your team, not being pandered to by players whose focus should be on preparing for their next game.

We don't know for sure what the situation was but you'd think the majority of casual folk watching the Blues train would be Carlton supporters.
On a once a year trip you would like to think the team would be encouraged to do a quick meet and greet with the fans.

Nah, this is poor administration, they are probably sh1te scared to tell MM he has to wait 5 mins to talk to the players. I recall McGuire having to step in at Collingwood when they started snubbing fans in the early 2000s. MM was and can still be pretty cold to fans and supporters, in this respect he may not be living his mantra!

So it's not the players fault, it's the Executive and the Membership departments that are to blame for being too piss weak to tell the MC the players need to show fans some respect!

You're a hard man DJC.

Maybe next time I am 50/50 about going to the game I will give the players the same amount of my time as they gave their supporters. You sign a jumper and you have a potential supporter for life.

If they snubbed Bluesgirl they need their ar5e kicked, didn't they use Bluesgirl and her friends to promote the club once in the past! It would be like not acknowledging Zwarry and her boy! (Oh, I forget they did that as well once!)

My boy played little league for Hawks and for Carlton, Hawthorn kept them back 5m away from the players. Carlton back in 2003 let the players like Whitnall and others high five them as they ran back on the ground. He is a life long Blues fan now, that was perhaps the tipping point!

Massaging supporters is important but it won't mean a fat rat's clacker if we lose.

The focus must be on preparation for the game but that's not to say that the club couldn't have arranged for a couple of players (perhaps those who won't play) to sign autographs.

I agree re admin, the players are obviously not the sharpest tools in the shed they need some sort of direction.
