Kevin Bartlett is a wizened old prune.

He is also a rascist - and one day Umpire Glenn James will reveal what Bartlett said to him in the last quarter of the 1982 Grand Final. :wink:

Just engaging in vigourous debate Kevin. :wink:

Wasn`t Allan Bond president of Richmond during Bartletts time as coach?

Hey I am an equal opportunity hater.

I was going to say - Agro with Demitriou, more like Agro with everybody. :lol:

Ever thought of changing your name to Angro? :?:

And bondiblue, I like the idea - but I'm not sure how hard it would be to get SEN to come around.

Don't read "The Australian" today. :roll:

Mind you he will be happy to have a target to shoot at all year. Poor Patrick does tend to find one issue and then "bang on about it" ad nauseum. It saves him from having to come up with original ideas for his...um.."articles".

If I remember correctly The Filth had Brad Copper on its board and he blackmailed HIH for a $250K cheque to sponsor the Filth.

All Beef Patty thinks he is cutting edge and provactive, but all he is is perpetually negative about everything sports related. And because he is always negative his writing is devalued because he has no perspective. Remember when talking about the footy or the cricket was actually fun? Now all most of the journos want to do is create controversy, or in the case of All Beef Patty, jump on a bandwagon and flog the horse till it is dead. If i wanted to read or hear about this stuff ad nauseum i would read the news and business section of the paper. The dumbasses at SEN would love our reaction, they will keep on about it till they stop getting a reaction. I have not listened to them since Thursday, and hopefully by ignoring their existence they will go away. Even if it means listening to the MMM commentary team. Buts it hard to boycott The Australian as no one reads it. Poor All Beef Patty.

Under the late Ron Evans the commission leadership was not easily seen but was manifest all the same. Under Mike Fitzpatrick the commission has postured more than led and there is a growing feeling that the game's leaders are numbed by the size and sensitivity of issues facing football.

Is this the same Ron Evans that awarded his own company (Spotless) the catering and technical contracts for the AFL and then proceeded to charge the punter $5 for a chocolate bar.

I reckon over the years Evans screwed the 'Australian Public' for far more than Pratts $700 mill.

Oh Ron Evans - bastion of corporate correctness and morality.

Oh Ron Evans - tell us how Spotless Catering bought Mustard Catering the catering company that had the catering rights for Subiaco Oval before anyone new that the AFL was going to move all AFL fixtures to Subiaco Oval rather than splitting the fixtures between the WACA and Subiaco Oval.

Oh Ron Evans - tell us how you justify charging nearly $5.00 for a bottle of water when they only cost you 50 cents.

Oh Ron Evans - tell us how you were in charge of the Essendon* Football Club during a period where it was found guilty of breaching the salary cap but you foisted the blame on the President following yourself David Shaw.

Oh Ron Evans - bastion of corporate morality - we bow down before you and marvel at your corporate and business ethics.

Oh Ron Evans - please sit in judgement and cast your even handed and just punishment on all corporate wrongdoers.

:roll:

AGRO · **Posted:** Mon Nov 19, 2007 9:21 am

Just so we are clear Fatprick - you have by your own volition bought Ron Evans into this debate as your role model for corporate correctness and marvellous business scruples and ethics.

In much the same way you cast aspersions at John Elliott's ability and right to enter the debate - you are going to get some of your own back you slimy turd.

You're kidding CB. You seem an intelligent Carlton supporter. How could you have ever likied Smith? When has he ever said or written anything that has added to your understanding of any aspect of the game. He is unintelligent, never analytical, never provides insight, has no understanding or empathy with the complexity of human beings. His only skill is to express his own bitterness in selfrighteous heavy handed scarcasm, totally devoid of any wit. Why CB, why....please give us one example of an article Smith has written that has ever helped you better understand or interpret an issue...

Ironically enough, it was probably reading about him having a beef with Spotless catering back around 1999/2000. :lol:

John Elliott took to the air last week to defend president Pratt. There is no one in football with less credibility than Elliott to discuss what is appropriate and what is not appropriate on the matter of club leadership. Under Elliott's administration, Carlton deliberately and repeatedly cheated on the salary cap. The subsequent penalties applied by the AFL brought Carlton to its knees. Elliott is not sorry about this nor has he ever apologised to the Carlton supporters.

He rang to call you to responsibility for comparing Pratt to Mokbel you clot! :roll:

I don't listen to Smith nor do i care what his opinions and views are........ cause i know that people like me (the ones who don't listen too him and don't care what his opinions are) irritate him the most!

Smith is the kid that was always picked last in the school yard......... Except for Brandy! :wink:

Probably only complained because there wasn't enough beef for him to stick his snout into the Journalist's Trough in the Press Room.

Patrick Smith has a challenging time ahead.

There will be some very big legal bills that he will have to try and pay.

He will also find it hard to find the jobs that he has to find in order to try to pay them.

But he will learn from these testing experiences and become a much poorer, but very much wiser man than he is now.

Nah, he'll have an army of dipshits who support the other 15 clubs willing to pay his legal fees for him.

I knew he'd start down this path. Mike Fitzpatrick was a Carlton captain - ergo he's the enemy, lacks 'morals', 'leadership' etc. He's an embarrassment for the Oz, if I may be frank. This isn't journalism. As I mentioned the other day he's just trying to become a new Alan Jones in AFL land and it's a bit hard to do that where he is. Being controversial for controversy's sake is getting a bit tiring if you ask me. I much prefer to see someone trying to build something rather than constantly tear it apart.

And credibility? How does a self-imposed 'credibility' come from someone who never got anywhere in the game and writes negatively about those who achieved everything? Where is the credibility in that? Just being an Evans acolyte does not give you cred. I challenge you to be true to the ethics of journalism Patrick and delve into the inside story of 'the late Ron Evans' and the real goings on behind his influence in the AFL.

Do you have the credibility to do that?
