No-one is scared of Carlton.

Just people have some respect now.

Realistically a premiership is 5 years away at Carlton. Another year down the bottom to get another crop of good kids through, then two years to get some games under their belts and then a year in the finals for experience.

I know ... we've been through the same process.

If Pratt completely bails the club out, then the financial turnaround will happen within two years.

But if he wants some value for money ... which every businessman does ... and which comes in the form of on-field success ... then the financial turnaround may take a while longer ...

You are kidding yourselves if you think that in 12 months Carlton will have a sound balance sheet, money in the bank and on-field success.

There is more pain yet.

2002 = 24 points, 43 points
2003 = 12 points, 91 points
2004 = 108 points
2005 = 80 points
2006 = 92 points
2007 = if trends continue, then around 65 points.

Not really. Our process ends with a Premiership.

How's that premiership window coming along? Nearly shut yet?

Not to bad.

Just re-oiled the window at the end of last season, and it is sliding smoothly again.

I reckon the cup can just about fit through now so we are good to go in season 2007.

Thanks for asking.

You'll still have 16 finals wins or thereabouts at the end of the year and the sole flag in the trophy cabinet.

Only in September when you face the Eagles, Dockers, Crows and Swans with Gardiner, Clarke, whatshisname who should play for Casey and that Port reject. :lol:

Butters will sack another coach before he walks and Lyon will cop it in the back just like Thomas who was defended by your clueless bunch of supporters.

That was until he was sacked and they brought in a retiree to ruck to the acclaim of SS. Ruck was a dirty word at Moorabbin until Lyon got the job. :lol:

The number of Carlton people at the Aints who know what winning when it matters is telling. :lol:

I had to laugh when hearing his interview.

The reporters were scared, laughing little girl giggles at his humour.

Know one in the media is safe when a guy with this much "influence" takes over.

Carlton went from joke administration to one with real credence and future overnight.

I love it! :-D

A very unusual bright spark amongst the flower over there! :shock:

I thought the link accidentally diverted me to Bigfooty with the 'Severely Traumatized' JeffDunne and Fireman posting their usual tripe. :oops:

Supporters of other AFL clubs may be warned just for showing up.

Supporters of South Australian teams will be treated with great disdain as well as being warned - and may not retaliate. What are you doing here anyway?

I've read similar lines from opposition supporters a few times now.

I don't really recall there being any sort of hype or anticipation when Smorgo rolled Collins. And when Collo got in it was more a case of "thank Christ Jack is gone, I hope these new blokes know what they're doing".

Perhaps we could give these clowns the phone number of a really competent glazier to repair their premiership window. :lol:
