Considering the amount of money the guy has, he could buy anyone out including you!

Even you have admitted this recently.

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.

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. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

And because the Labor Party is run by Unionists, all is well. Unionists are pretty law abiding aren't they? That Norm Gallagher and the Painters & Dockers are cleanskins....

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.

I used to work with Jim Buckley's ex-wife.

The rumours about him were inaccurate - he was far worse than even the rumours suggested!

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

I'll have to be bought off to pay for my kids schooling if Johnny has his way with the Construction union. Sorry we don't all bow down to big business and cop sh*t for doing a hard days slog while they all sit in their ivory towers (which we built).

Hey Riewoldting - talking about antique's and shady characters, where is rogerwa these days? He usually enjoys the draft and trade time of the year; throwing those useless excuses for players out the back door etc. :lol:
