I don't have Foxtel anymore... great for my blood pressure and bank balance.

What it means is I have the best seats in the house courtesy of the matchday thread.

So last night I had half an eye on the scores while watching music videos on YouTube. One of them was Little River Band's Reminiscing from 1980.

It should actually become the theme song for the Carlton Football Club.

Most games I've attended in the last five years feel like a LRB revival group. You look at the Carlton fans and ask when was their heyday, and you think it was about 1980. You look on the field and you think you see a guernsey with some sort of aura and presence, but it doesn't quite have the notches or the Avco sponsor label anymore.

You see they've gone out and recruited that gun John Farnham and put him in charge. But while you know he has a great voice, it just doesn't feel the same as when Glenn Shorrock was behind the mic.

That's what Carlton feels like to me. An organisation wishing it was still 1980. The kids barrack for someone else, the guernsey looks the same but different, and every couple of years there is a new John Farnham coming in with the hope they'll recapture the magic they had with Glenn Shorrock, but the rest of the band sticks to the same old parts they played in 1980.

Until the club as a whole slays the Avco era, we're going to stay the same. A club in 2014 reminiscing for the early 1980's, hoping Malcolm Fraser is PM and that the only competition in the charts is Air Supply.

Carlton is merely reaping what it sowed. Kernahan's legacy will take a while yet to pass through the system. And the cargo cult mentality that underpinned him and continues to bedevil the club today needs to be exorcised once and for all if Carlton is to ever regain any semblance of its former glory.

I have never agreed with you as wholeheartedly as I do now.








OK, I never usually agree with you at all...but you know what I mean.

seeing as we are so pathetic and will be for some time,
can we
at least
get rid of this patronising old bastard
at pressers,
and get someone articulate,
who does not try and humiliate others when
things have not gone his way?
He just makes everything worse.
Sam Lane did not deserve the absolute crap he gave her.
Just F@#& the hell off MM.
and if we must have him, can we ban him from pressers please?

The only place you ever hear a bad word about Sticks is this website
The entire football world admires him.
Guess he is just all bluff

Sam Lane got everything she deserved. Nothing wrong with MM's presser and he had to explain the micros & macros definition to the uneducated reporter.. And her b/s on players on the outer... FMD, perfectly explained back to her and I reckon that the playing group has not been better catered for off-field as well with MM's development of the guys. Pity they can't take into the field for the 4 quarters in each game.
It's the presser reporters that need addressing (only thing that may have been wrong maybe Waite not playing VFL but we'll see).
