I do wonder what Maher's stance will be IF the AFL strip Essendon*'s points and elevate the 9th placed team up one spot and that team happens to be Carlton.
On this years form, I would expect Maher to deliver a tirade of abuse and vitriol directed at the AFL. It's merely a hosts role that has been downgraded this year anyway, but if it's to improve and get better and the club actually cares about engagement, Andy Maher should be replaced. It looks as though he'd much rather be hosting a golf show anyway.
But I'll go a step further. He also hosts, if I'm not mistaken, the annual Women of Carlton dinner. There are Mums and wives of Carlton footballers in that audience. Which Andrew Maher are they going to get? He can't one morning wake up and openly support the Essendon* Football Club and their abhorrent Josef Mengele-like guinea pig pharmacological experiment on footballers and then front up to a paid gig that evening and smile in front of mothers and wives of footballers having said that.
He has to make a choice. As far as I'm concerned, this morning's rant was his choice. After reading the charges - he's siding with the Watson/Hird camp. Made his bed. Gotta lie in it now.
I like plenty of Carlton people too Michael. Liked Andrew Maher once. But supporters have long memories. I'm gonna follow through with this one.
