For all its faults (and the Club certainly has them... as do all Clubs) I thought it was a good night, well run. On a night when it could have been all about the Club's best players, I thought they did well to acknowledge the Club as a whole - including its supporters. If this was some sort of Road to Damascus remains to be seen.

Anyway, it was good enough to have me drinking the Kool Aide for the weekend at least -- and I challenge anyone to find a urinal containing more talent than Saturday night's at The Plenary... http://www.footyalmanac.com.au/carltons-150th-celebration-ease-his-pain-ease-his-pain-the-peoples-elbow-on-the-redemptive-power-of-the-blues-field-of-dreams/

It's like I was standing right there beside you at the urinal.

if anyone has had any experience dealing with Nichols they would know how hypocritical his comments are.

Great man - hardly

I don't mind arrogance as long as it is backed up by good decision making

I wasn't really going for Judd/Will Farrell/Ron Burgundy... just overcompensated on the 'this is not that big a deal' look despite being photographed alongside a future Brownlow/Norm Smith medalist and Prime Minister.
