THEY ARE SHITTING THEMSELVES
The fear is back - I can't wait 'til this new confidence filters to the playing group.
LOOK OUT
Who exactly are "shitting themselves", deano?
The full backs of the comp when they have to line up on Pratt?
Oppostion supporters wondering how we'll all combat Pratt's centre clearnaces?
I understand the optimism and genuinely believe he has the
capability to change some things off-field, but I also acknowledge that Collins and Smorgon were seen in a similar light. Especially Smorgon.
Good on Carlton fans for lapping up the nostalgia that one of the old boys from the strong Elliot regime is back, but I'd be a tad worried that you're still caught in a nostalgic timewarp that still remains irrelevant in the machinations of a modern club.
I'll reserve my admittedly biased "anti" view until I see what this new board's plan actually is. I hope that he somehow has a plan to alleviate the financial mess, even if it does mean a personal contribution. It all seems too
ad hoc to me, as if it was a case of "let's target the next richest supporter on the list and see if he wants to be President". I mean, did anyone actually vote for this bloke? Do you know what his strategy is? Is he abreast of what a modern footy club requires to get the extra 15% every season out of off-field and on-field performance?
And I do have an interest for it is my contributions to membership, TV susbscriptions and what not that are keeping you blokes around.
