That article is a disgrace to the Mike and Dan name.

The last time one man had this effect on the Club was the day Anthony Koutoufides decided he'd quite like to play in the 1999 Grand Final.

Waite's game on Reiwoldt
Jarrad Waite can make the impossible seem simple, and the seemingly simple seem, frankly, impossible. He has a spark and a confidence that our team sometimes lacks. Now, yes, he's played some pretty special games up forward over the last month. But, being the men of substance (TM) that we are, it's the shut-down job he did on one of the games premier young forwards that stands out. Waite's ability to close, and time his spoils to perfection were outstanding that evening, as was his disinterest in letting Reiwoldt have any cheap possessions. Even when the Saints co-captain drifted up to the wings, Waite shadowed him. Not since Kouta's glory days have the Carlton faithful cried out for the ability to clone a player. It will be fascinating to see where he has the most impact in the second-half of 2007.

The Pubs
As of this article, the first details of the Carlton Football Club's acquisition of a stake in 9 Melbourne Hotels have been released. Another part of Mr. Pratt's revolution, this particular piece of financial jiggery-pokery is a result of the hard-work and selflessness of a united Carlton board, and an excellent example of the sound management the club is under. With the future of the 10 Victorian clubs under constant threat, it's nice to know that the club won't just be around for premierships 17 and 18, but premierships 25 and 26 as well.
