When editing those sorts of things, just remember: It's not slander if it's true. :wink:

So Dwayne hasn't got a leg to stand on. :-D

Moreover, I'm a bit disappointed at some of the contributors to these "games". Yeah, okay, it's kind of funny, but it's also terribly pointless and juvenile.

:shock:

I have had a long think about this - what is terribly pointless and juvenile is a shit for brain turd like Dwayne Russell prolonging his pointless media career by pandering to the masses and targetting a club for on-going criticism (deserved or otherwise) to quench some long deep seated hatred he has for it because he got towelled up by Peter Dean or Michael Sexton every time he played against us.

A red neck !@#$%& who rang SEN on Board Election night a few weeks ago - who barracks for Footscray and wants to see Carlton disappear.

Bruce Eva tried to explain to him that Footscray would prefer to play a strong Carlton twice a year drawing a crowd of 45,000+ - but the moronic imbecile just didn't get it.

Also tried to explain to him that if a Victorian Club folds that would be 2 less opportunities per year that he would get to see Footscray play - but the moronic imbecile still didn't get it.

My god even Joffa from Collingwood gets it - but "Chris from Werribee" you are the very reason why Footscray has a sad and sorry history.

You must fall.

nice, very nice, I had similar feelings about Fitzroy fans ringing up on a Saturday saying they hope we die, hard for me to feel compassion for them anymore after that.

Can you add Mark Allen to your list? He pissed me off the other week to the extent that I rang in :oops:

he suggested that we should have an asterix next to the 1995 grand final instead of the punishment we received. Asterix would say was won during time of salary cap breaches.

Moron should stick to playing shit golf

Right, so:

Essendon* - 2000*
Brisbane 2001-3**
Sydney 2005**

* - Rorted the cap as well, but got slapped with a wet blade of grass.
** - Benefitted from ridiculously huge salary cap concessions.

Yeah, right. :roll:

Bookie · **Posted:** Thu Feb 15, 2007 10:42 am

We were over the salary cap when we came last in 2002 so put an asterik next to that too????
:wink:

Also has this "fact" that seven years prior in 1995 we were over ever "officially" recognised in the penalties.

No we got stung for 2000, 1998 and come forward in the amnesty for 1991 or 92 and that was it.

Essendon*'s 1993 was in the middle of their salry cap rorting but that was when Ronny was in charge so it doesnt count

yep, I pretty much rang in and asked him if all the other clubs would get asterix's also - not to mention the ones that didn't get caught when it was very widespread, this was a couple of weeks ago after Rose came out with his comments, I reminded them also that 3 clubs are getting handouts every year while we only have a loan that must be paid back.

I know for a fact that some CEO's used to get together in the 90's to discuss how they could get around the rules.

AGRO · **Posted:** Thu Feb 15, 2007 11:05 am

AFL Salary Cap investigations my arse.

The only time they were ever able to make a charge stick is finding a lily livered gormless coward like a Stephen Orally to turn Crown's Evidence to make a charge stick.

Its no defence I know - but every club was doing this stuff.

Unfortunately he was on our books at a time. :roll:

Ken Wood's you wouldn't know if a toilet brush was inserted up your arse horizontally.

I remember that deluded welfare cheat. I think I gave the same bloke a spray on BF as well. Who is he kidding - if it weren't for clubs like Carlton and the AFL kicking in he wouldn't have a @#$%&! team. I even went out to watch the last game played at the Western Oval just to show them support - and we weren't even playing.

I was there too thylacine60. What a wet and miserable day that was. The only highlight was the Brazilian dancers in G strings and the attack on Gardiner.

Went home at half time soaking wet. I didnt even wait to throw coins at the Hyde Park bands collectors at half time!

Hi Mike,

As always you are welcome to your opinion. However, we're delighted by
Dwayne's work with Sports Today, and the ratings - which were as good as
ever last year - tell us that the majority of listeners are too.

Thank God for SEN. My mates were right and I can no longer listen to the
prattling brayings of this ex-hack. Vale Hooksie and goodbye 3AW. What
was I thinking? Mike - Kinglake.

You should keep the email. Those that live by ratings, die by ratings.

Once ST ratings fall because of the buffoon, send it back to Ralphie and tell him where to shove his ratings

I have not listened to 3AW Sports Tonight for months because of Dwayne Russell. Firstly he has an anti-Carlton bias that extends past that of other supporters. He seems bitter and angry about the Blues. He has delighted in mocking us when things go badly and he has a lot of opurtunity to do so recently. Last night I turned over from SEN in the ad-break and idiot Russell must have done one of his editorials about lance and Heath. I didnt hear it but judging from the talkback he was haveing a go at the club for setting curfews that the players cant keep and that for that reason the team is a rabble etc etc
Some guy "peter from Carlton" rang and starting singing "Da Da Da da' and said "We are back". Gerrad Healy agreed with him and said it will interesting to see what Dick pratt brings to carlton, kudos to Stticks, etc etc. All this positive talk must have killed Dwayne. When the guy asked him if he ever stayed out late when he played, Dwayne was angry and spewing bitterness. "I didnt break team rules, Your team cant control its players. Thats a sign of a rabble etc etc"

Its one thing to hate a team. But to make it your role to spew nothing but negativity is a sign of an unprofessional flower.
Aparently Dwayne played VFL footy. I dont remember him in action at all. Nobody I've asked has but what did Carlton do to him while he was a player?

Anyway I've had enough of this tosser. While he is on the air, i refuse to turn the dial to 693. I will let 3AW know this via email and I think others should too.

Just gotta love that human aspect of bagging people because they say things they DON'T WANT to hear about our club. It's irreespective of whether it the truth or not. Of course, if they said how wonderful our club was, they's be terrific, even they were dud journos.

Gotta love human nature!

Not being a big MMM fan I listened to 3AW at the game.

Russell was an absolute flower - by 3qtr time I put the radio away & am amazed I got that far.

Agreed and I only heard snippets.

Changed to MMM, which was just as jocular and lacking in attention to the actual footy, but no one was crossing their legs and thinking of Margaret Thatcher so they could stay in the box.
