The guys is a dick head of the highest order.
I'm sure Agro would be more succinct about it, but where the flower was the fatprick, when his holier than thou mate Ron was ripping everyone off at the footy?
Fatprick preferred Carlton to be his whipping boy, but those days are no long gone. So flower off.
And Fatty, while you are at it take Neil Mitchell with you too.
To be fair to Smith he was very critical of the Spotless issue.
Also, while his article over simplistically uses emotion to supposedly strengthen his position, at the root of his argument is a very good point. We should not easily dismiss Pratt's issues just because he is at Carlton and doing a bloody good job.
Of course we are biased in our views, he has done wonders for our club and I can't thank him enough for doing so. But if he was not president of Carlton, but president of any one of the other 15 clubs we would be calling for his head.
It's that simple.
I understand where you are coming from camel, but I would argue that he doesn't really have a point: His point is that Pratt has brought the game into disrepute.
It is hard to quantify what bringing the game into disrepute involves.
If you take the AFL's "money is the key indicator of the health of the game" approach, then no, he hasn't.
Either way, we are supporters and of course we would try to put our own slant on things if it was another club's president, but he is "supposedly" a professional journo, clearly showing his bias, which is a credibility no-no.
The thing is it would be impossible to find a wealthy buisnessman who hasn't got dirt to dig up on them from some dodgy dealings in their past, the fact that Pratt's dirt has become public is just a convenience for the likes of Fat Prick and the bandwagon jumpers with an anti-Carlton agenda.
Anyway, it's funny listening to their la-la land ramblings.
