Just wait for the opposition to come out with the cracks about Judd being paid under the table/by Visy. Oh well, who cares. :lol:

Etihad is based in Abu Dhabi.

The other mob that Eddie uses is based in Dubai.

Just as long as they know that every time they open a carton of milk they're playing their part in keeping Judd a blue

I doubt that no single person has ever contributed more to a VFL/AFL club than Dick Pratt.

Bloody legend.

Awesome news!!

Quote:
As part of the campaign, schoolchildren will visit the Visy Sustainable Living Centre and hear the green message in a 70-seat lecture theatre.

The development's environmental initiatives will include rainwater collection tanks, improved water efficiency, a solar hot water system and the introduction of cutting-edge green practices.


This is very much a community-orientated act that - in one motion - puts Carlton as a brand above every other side in terms of... err... doing community orientated acts. :)

It's also great to think that children are being led into VISY PARK, being smothered with Visy and Carlton goods and BEING CONVERTED 70 CHILDREN AT A TIME!! MWUHAHAH!

You'll see the true effects in 10 or so years time when we hit 80,000 members. ;)

Quote:
Visy's complex relationship involving Judd as a highly-paid ambassador and its sponsorship of Carlton has only recently been ticked off by the AFL and investigations manager Ken Wood.


Jabba would be spewing. Ken Wood must have investigationed wrong somewhere...

Quote:
The sports centre will have a large gymnasium, an altitude room, hydro facilities, and warm-up area.


Meanwhile, the Doggies are rattling tins to save up to go to Arizona for altitude training... good luck with that. ;)

Collingwood has just completed a similar room at the Lexus Centre.

But I bet ours will be bigger. ;)


Good stuff Carlton. Thanks to Pratt, the State Government, the AFL, and the City of Melbourne for chipping in as well...



...and all the members out there, membership numbers in the low 20,000s would have made this very difficult to achieve.


All those years of heartbreak as members in record-breaking years?

Now you can start to see the benefits of your loyalty.

:-D

According the article the club will be moving in in about a year.

Where will they be re-located until then?

I don't know what Ken Wood looks like but the image in my head is the one of Beaks from Trading Places.

VISY will probably build a temporary cardboard extension.

They will probably move to the Legends Stand won't they.


Great news. Imagine every school in Melbourne will organise excursions to Visy Park. The parents will have to sign a permission slip. :lol: :lol:

I don't give a stuff what other clubs have or don't have. Good luck to the Filth at Lexus, good luck to the Dogs at the ELC.
