As I was driving this morning I heard on the news the reporter say "west coast are claiming that they will not make a deal unless carlton agree to trade picks 1 and 3 for Rudd. I thought it was amusing. It also triggered me to think about this. We have won a premiership under every Prime Minister since Gorton.

That's Gorton, Mcmahon, Whitlam, Fraser, Hawke, Keating. We have not however won one under Howard. Just thought I'd share that.

Either that or a bad sign for the election

Carlton usually does well under a Liberal Federal Govt too...

I think Howard has been bad karma for us somehow. Could Judd and Rudd be a win / win for the Blues?

Rudd makes Howard look like a Green Beret. I don't think I have never seen a nerdier person.

Says more about our history of success and our recent woes than anything else.

If i was stuck at sea on as Collins with Gillard the other able seaman would still look good...

Could be worse though if the hairlipped bitch from the AGE was on board

Whitlam won the 1972 election in December of that year - so we didn't actually win a premiership under Whitlam.

As I recall Fraser looked after the boys very well in 79, 81, 82 with receptions at Parliament House or "The Lodge" after those premiership wins.

Carltons next flag comes at a time when a new Middle Eastern war is occurring.

Brett Ratten will be the coach of the 17th premiership team.

Quite right. There is a nice picture of the players at the Lodge acting all coy in front of the cameras with tammy present I think (in one of the carlton books I have).

Wonder if they were thinking about the slogan that started with "Tammy has one ....




Malcolm is a good Labor man now.
