Sadly he may be one that Roo's bus runs over... still hope he can lift.

I think if we win the big one the first person on this forum to mention GT should be forced to buy every other member a beer! The man himself makes controversial comments because he is both vindictive and pragmatic.... he knows that as a commentator he lacks any real currency and is on borrowed time...

Gold....

you also forget that Blake, put his body in the line as a young man and had his spine cracked for him by stafford Was there ever a greater swine than Stafford? Was sat next to him at a pub in Richmond while watching Hird play his last in WA... Stafford laughed with a couple of other Richmond has-be...

Maybe we could announce Chris Judd as our captain? He's played just as many games for us as carlton...

I'd go for Lenny, but I think Roo will get it.... Happy with either, would prefer not both.

former Cat Steven King has arrived Blake reminds me of Boxer from Animal Farm- "I will work harder"... the guy deserves much respect. Wouldn't this imply St Kilda is a communist organisation? Animal Farm was about communism??? ...Now it makes sense! :wink: Just mean he's a tireless worker...

Yusuf Islam?...

You think it was your sister I really wanted?!....

It was a practice match. I thought Harvey was (at very least) serviceable. GT is a grub, he and 'Derm' carry on like a couple of school kids at times... who think a fart joke is the height of humour. Perhaps GT has a problem with Harvey considering the none-too-subtle praise of RL and his training p...

Favouritism won't be a problem this year given the popular love affair with the all-conquering Geelong

Great point... no matter how well we go we can keep underdog status, for what it's worth....

Certainly possible... what you'd be banking on is AFL eventually becoming more popular than Thugby in Sydney?

50-100 years predictions are tough... Bribane (and Melbourne) may have bigger populations than Sydney by then.... or we could all be under water!

I encountered the man in real life (years ago) and believe him to be barking mad. Or at least as the 12th man says as Ritchie to Max Walker "gee you're a bit f'd in the head sometimes...."

I wouldn't let my dog sleep on a carlton jumper....

Please god, keep us relatively injury free this season!

The potential of the season ahead is as tantalizing as I can recall.

I wouldn't be surprised if he took over the role Hamill played. The forward there to run around, crash into opponents and clear paths for other blokes, create extra defensive pressure to keep the ball inside 50, and generally put the fear of God into anyone wearing an opposition jumper who goes nea...

We know the bombers
will have a crack
But the Marching Saints
are on the attack

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Our history may not be one overflowing with accolades, but it led us to who we are and where we are now, and to what we will soon achieve... something I think worth celebrating and being proud of. Carlton have no integ...

You may cop some flak for that line... some may suggest (unkindly perhaps) that if you think carlton are better than us you should go support carlton.... not me mind, just some.

Agree to disagree??

Why? This is fun!

I agreed to disagree two page ago....

All Carlton... whom you obviously don't despise as much as I do.... Who gives a shyte what Carlton thinks is a good idea. Nonsense?!... Yeah pick a mercenary with a chronic injury who hasn't played a game for you (and still may never) as your captain... makes sense to me. What was I thinking? If it...

I only truly despise Carlton!

Richmond I pity... Kane Johnson!
