(Forgetting the prequels of course) Vader is the ultimate badass in the galaxy, conqueror of planets, and can crush the life from you with a wave of his hand. I think it's a bloody compliment to have our coach compared to such an icon! HTFU CARLTON!


(Essendon**'s looks too good though, it should instead have Paul Little as Palpatine)


I find it more interesting that no one from Carlton was quoted in the article yet the managed to get one from McChins - more bullshit muckraking by that rag

I find the whole thing very amusing but I must admit the Herald Sun is definitely the worst newspaper in Australia.

Pleased to see that even Darth Vader had a laugh.

You are going to put the Herald Sun below the Telegraph? Interesting call...

Because it paints 'us' as the villains? I was amused until I thought about it too much.

'I'm trying to work out who Yoda is'
Quote:
Buckley also had a laugh about the T-shirts that have been doing the rounds in the football memorabilia circles. The garments shows Carlton coach Mick Malthouse in Darth Vader regalia with the words "Nathan, I am your father" emblazoned on the front.

"I've been trying to work out who Yoda is all day. I woke up last night after a disturbance in the force."

One of our popular recruiting staff. :cool:
