interesting article in a malasyian newspaper about our boys being over there.

I like how they say our season will end in September (as opposed to late August!!)

The article forgot to mention the most important benefit for Malaysia:

As a result of its Carlton sponsorship, Collingwood and Richmond supporters will be less likely to visit their country.

Malaysians should be dancing in the streets.

ps - I quite like the whole 'Carlton Patron, Richard Pratt' angle. The president you have when you're not having...

Funny how they didn't mention Carrots in the golfing shot... :lol:

C'mon Carrots! This should be incentive enough to play out of your skin in 09 and show these Malaysian journos!

I like the part where it says, 'should Carlton reach the finals in September it will be worth tens of thousands of publicity'. (or words to that effect)
It would want to be worth more than that because they paid a lot more than that to get it.

Shoddy journalism. Marc Murphy should have been described as "the high marking" not "star rover". :donk:
