Loved the bit where he mentioned that it was up to the members whether he stayed or not!! As that's the criteria then I reckon RP is safe as houses, who'd be stupid enough to challenge him? Good luck fatpr1ck trying to influence Carlton members!!!

It's gotta be a game against Collingwood, rub it in their face that we stole Swann

Thankyou Mike Sheahan and thankyou to the Hun.



I can't believe I just said that..

There's so much I could say...

Lets just say that those 2 losses in a row (St. Kilda and Sydney) resulted in a particularly large boost in the players end of season trip fund that year.

And before the "Bogans and No-Shows" start calling in to SEN and casting aspersions at the character of the Carlton Football Club - in those days this was par for the course at all clubs. Footscray in particular were past masters at betting on and against themselves.

And in 1991 please ask how bottom of the ladder Fitzroy managed to beat top of the ladder West Coast in Round 22. West Coast couldn't lose top spot and the bookies had Fitzroy at $8 - I had a lazy $100 on this.
