PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Colin Carter is a renowned football administrator, and is one of Australia’s foremost strategic planners serving as a senior vice-president of the Boston Consulting Group until 2001, and in recent years as an advisor. He was significant in the formation of the AFL’s salary cap and player draft system and brought together the VFL and the Melbourne Cricket Club to ensure the development of the Great Southern Stand at the MCG. He served on the AFL Commission from 1993 to 2007 and was later president of Geelong from 2011 to 2020. In 2021, he was commissioned by the AFL to report on the potential of an AFL club from Tasmania. In the 2012 Queen’s Birthday Honours list he was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for “Service to the Indigenous community through the development of employment and economic opportunities, as a supporter of charitable organisations, and to the sport of Australian Rules Football”. This is his second book. In 2004, with Jay Lorsch, he wrote Back to the Drawing Board—designing Corporate Boards for a Complex World (Harvard Business Review Press).
'Colin Carter is a decorated football administrator who has turned his mind to the history of the game and explained in clear terms when Victoria’s football competition began and why it is the precursor of today’s AFL competition. Colin’s thesis is supported by a convincing raft of facts: he has put the case for recognition of competition, club and player statistics in the years from 1870 to 1897, an important history that has been lost through politics and time. Supporters need to approach this book with an open mind and lift their eyes to the great truth—that AFL is the oldest organised football competition in the world.' – Mike Fitzpatrick, AFL Commission chair, 2007 to 2016.
