shady characters and the afl.......
...in today's herald sun it was stated that yesterday the federal court heard that the current president of the carlton football club was a cheat who had betrayed the public and that his company visay had committed very serious breaches of the law which it had carefully and deliberately concealed....
..in another article mark robinson states that if ben cousins is not fit enough to play this great game as appears to be the case, then pratt should be asked by the afl if he is fit enough to hold the grandiose afl office of club president......
...of course he is not ..but i don't reckon dimwit has the balls to say so......
both fallen heroes whose clubs are prepared to overlook any transgressions for the ultimate goal
but then......
.....such is life...

Re: shady characters and the afl.......
as much as we'd like to see Pratt arrested and put in prison - and watch the downward spiral of Carlton all over again - brian is right - he is simply too powerful and wealthy for it to happen.Brian Collis wrote:Considering the amount of money the guy has, he could buy anyone out including you!stinger wrote:...in today's herald sun it was stated that yesterday the federal court heard that the current president of the carlton football club was a cheat who had betrayed the public and that his company visay had committed very serious breaches of the law which it had carefully and deliberately concealed....

Does anyone remember this or was it just an urban legend ?
Club Legend John Nicols used to own a TV/Electrical showroom in the 70s - something like ? Bruce Warehouse.
Anyway he got robbed, but that was OK because he was insured.
But lo and behold they found the tellies in a warehouse owned by his brother.
And of course there is that other rumour that the club got Big Nick off a really serious charge back in his early days in the late 50s when Big Prick had been trying to earn some "quick money".

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Seriously, the way you paint it all black and white is absurd. Regardless of which way you vote, all politicians are tarred with the same brush.
How it relates to a footy forum is beyond me.

Whilst we are on Carlton morality.
It was also around the late ? seventies that Big Nick had been lured back to the club in some sort of advisory/match committee role.
He suddenly left mid season without any real reason.
The unofficial word was that he had again been looking for "quick money" but was caught with his hand in the till.
Stealing from his own !
Agree Jim Buckley was a disgrace.
Just ask Rolo Roylance.

Can't be bought?
Stinger, we'd have trouble giving you away!

Although perhaps if someone could come up with an ebay description for selling young stinger off...
