What I wrote...
To whom it concerns,
I wish to express my utter disappointment, for the first time as a formal complaint, but as the last straw to the constant bombardment of Carlton-bashing that seems to be ever-present on SEN, and most recently this morning, with Patrick Smith. His obvious frustration with the football club must span somewhat from it's rivalry with the team he supports, but alas, I'm now convinced it's in greater part due to some form of deep-seeded resentment harboured by Patrick from his failings at becoming an elite sportsman. I believe the only outlet he has that's ably masked, is to ridicule successful sport's persons whilst perched on his moral high-ground, delighting in their mistakes in the name of sport, or in their private lives as human beings. This bitterness is seriously clouding his judgement, and his ability to objectively analyse sporting news. As a result, it now compromises his position on SEN as a specialist sporting journalist.
I hope you do not perceive this email to be from an irate and irrational Carlton supporter, but from a member of the club that's paid it's penance for the mistakes it's made, and thus, has accepted it's due criticism for many a year. We are the devout and ardent supporters that have stuck by our club throughout the bleakest period of our proud history, celebrating little, yet maintaining a watchful eye on what's written, and an ear on what's said, as our love for the game will never dwindle.
In modern times fairer systems were established to punish individuals or organisations for activity that's deemed inappropriate to society, so the need for one individual to constantly propagate his biased views, after justice has already taken it's course, is what I find inappropriate. On a personal level, the "kick them while their down" mentality, synonymous with Carlton and the media, is beyond the point of boredom. To put you in the loop and those of your subordinates, we have four hard-wood cabinets on display at our Princes Park. Each filled with four premiership cups. Each of these in recognition of season-long brilliance. The sooner your organisation and those of your employ recognise this fact, the sooner it will become plainly obvious that prominent and influential people that have come to govern our club in it's hour of need and dissatisfied with it's performance, will leave no stone unturned in the pursuit to give another Melbourne cabinet-maker, another opportunity.
Behold, the sleeping giant awakens, just as the day of paying credit, where credit is due, approaches!
Best Regards
BANG!!!
