This is the audio of the Presidents Lunch speech before the Carlton Adelaide game where Mr Pratt speaks about Willie Rogers, a recently discovered Caarlton player who was a casualty of WWI and whose story has recently been highlighted on the CFC site and the Blueseum.

Wonderful to hear the emotion in Mr Pratts voice towards the end of this speech for a man who played for the Navy Blues and died 90 years ago.
