Oh well. Shit happens i guess.

As long as we get Judd and we announce this "Massive" sponsership with a certain airline (*cough cough, "Virgin"*???) I'll still be very hppy!


Why did it fall over????????????????

Lesson :

Don't announce things until they are in the bag. Not sure why we would go public, have it all over the papers and then have it quietly fall in a heap.

Don't have a problem with things not working despite lots of effort, but really looks bad when we announce something before it is certain only to have it collapse

The failed acquisition also raises questions about Carlton's ability to finalise one of the biggest on-field deals in AFL history — the recruitment of star player Chris Judd.


FFS, do they have to turn everything into a "Let's make Carlton not get Judd" thing??

That is the worst example of journalism I've seen in The Age and belongs in the pages of the Herald-Sun.

Cameron Houston must follow the Pies, Bombers or Melbourne....

So this pathetic excuse for a journalist has succeeded then.

The journalist is an idiot. Pratt would finance the Judd contract by himself if it came to that.

Hopefully the massive announcement has been held back until the pub deal falling over hit the media - time to announce some good news after this bad press.

I'm generally positive. Judd coming to Carlton just seems too good to imagine, hence my doubts :P
