If it wasn't for the Bulldogs and their insipid, spineless performances against Carlton in Round 10 and Melbourne in Round 19, both Carlton and Melbourne would have a game each in hand this week and still be able to keep the PP if they win.

You can thank my rabble of a club for this farce.

Thanks for the smokescreen Sedat.

But really I think the CFC have done the job up until now.

See the eternal question to all clubs is what would you rather?

Kangaroos: 4 Flags and 12 wooden spoons
Bulldogs: 1 flag and 2 or 3 (?) wooden spoons

or

Blues: 16 Flags, currently 3 wooden spoons, but luckily for us we get the big rewards for being crap at the right time.

I think in another 5-7 years the Bulldogs and many teams like them will hate the Blues becauase of the riches plundered over these few years (simply by being crap at the right time).

Yes Rewards?

Pick ones I'm happy with, the jury is still out on some of our other lower picks taken over the last couple of years e.g. Jordan Russell.

But such is life, we are not alone in that department. :wink:

That's right neighbourly of you Sedat. Just for that, I'll give you a good deal on a slightly used Fevola. Get your people to talk to my people in October. :wink:

We are the eternal masters of mid-table mediocrity. I've lost count of the number of times my club has finished between 9 and 12 wins a season in my lifetime. Tally-ho chaps, near enough is good enough. We don't want to be too success now do we :roll:

Carlton should, without any guilt or shame, rape, pillage and plunder to their hearts content. The AFL reap what they sow, and they have sown a farce of a contest this Sunday night, and there can be no blame apportioned to anyone else except the AFL's intrepid leaders :roll:

They are even more spineless than my players currently are.

Picked it like a nose. :wink:
