I believe that he is useful, however he nearly killed us.

Its not what he did, its how he did it.

Arrogantly, stupidly, without sensibility and plain dumb.

Too make him even more of a knob, he has never apologised to the Carlton faithful for his actions.

He could at least take some responsiblity

After all..


The AFL bent us over cause Jack tried to take them on when he was wrong. Then f$%^s off when the Shizznit hits the fan and we pay for his arrogance.

he better repent.

welcome back jack.

put your strong work ethic in the right places.

with pratt & jack at the fold you can gurantee the blues will be back at the top quicker than first thought.

leading coterie groups for a socalite like jack will bring millions back to the club..
if you under estimate jacks business acumen, then at the same breath, you are under estimating pratts.

This is good news, and I welcome him back. He is not in charge but he can still his business skills into the club.

Good to see you're all grateful Jack is back to save the club you let Collo and Smorgo almost kill.

Hmm, I am having trouble understanding your objection to what I said.

It appears you agree that often in his official role as Club President he was disrepectful to women.

Do you then think this is appropriate and desirable behaviour for the CFC President?

or do you somehow think that despite being disrespectful to women at many Club functions, e.g. laying hands on and groping (more than one waitress), this does not somehow display a significant degree of general disrespect towards women, many of whom may be potential members?

As I said, perspective can be interesting ...

They inherited a diseased corps.

We need his business skills.... :roll:

http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/ ... 81354.html

"In recent years, his personal fortune - which by Mr Elliott's own reckoning ran to $78 million in 1990 - all but petered out."

Done well to lose 78 mill....thats the kind of skills we need at the club.....

Ah, of course, Jack had nothing to do with it. It was all somebody else.

Perhaps you should do some research into the results of those business skills ..

Exactly!

Jack started the rot

Pratt and Elliott have one major difference:

Elliott went Bankrupt!!!!!!!!

This idea that they are similar in terms of nusiness acumen is absurd.

Third richest man in Australia versus Bankrupt waterhog.

True Collo was their bitch.

Smorgy was their corgy.

Jack was the next door neighbours Pitbull.

what you're effectively saying blueblood is that its the farmers fault that no rain has been falling and they're going broke.

shame on jack trying to keep water wheel alive.. the soil was bad, they tried to heal it, it wouldn't heal...but out of 10 business ventures one going bad is not something you or anyone has the right to shove a knife in his chest if you are unaware of the facts

I suggest you do some more research into Water Wheel. While you are at it, also consider his dealings related to the NSW Grain Board.
