Just because it is repackaged (at an alarmingly high price) news, it doesn't make it any less enjoyable copy.

Like many of you predicted when the deal was announced, if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is. That whole line from Pratt about it providing millions of dollars risk free was a giveaway that it could all come apart in the blink of an eye.

Pretty typical of you to gloat about some old news ADP. There's been oodles and oodles of good news for us to enjoy both proir to and after this hiccup. Like for instance our new sponsorship deals and recruiting some guy named Chris Judd. :garthp:

Enjoy all the good news ADP; it will just keep on rolling in and there is nothing that you can do about it. 8)

Now let me see what has happened in 12 months:

Pratt
Swan
Judd
Kruezer
3 million profit
Largest football sponsorship Hyundai
Made Optus pay more $$$ by using Vodafone as leverage
Visy shorts sponsorship bigger than some clubs jumper sponsorships....

Yes I agree with you it is not enjoyable and it all happened with a blink of the eye :wink:

Jeepers! At that rate, Ratten will have his favourite Yazz track blasting through the MC Labor PA during training.

There's nothing an opposition supporter can throw at me that can stick anymore. Everyone knows the CFC is back on the right track now, and it's just a matter of time before we're carving it up both onfield and off-field.

Won't happen tomorrow, but it's surely coming.

Meanwhile... we're all still waiting to see if the Lexus Centre/Altitude Training/Emirates sponsorship/Joffa's gold tinsel wig will produce a flag for the pies. After all, it's been a pretty barren 49 years.

Yep we know ADP.

Like all the brain dead Collingwood morons who call into SEN. With regard to Chris Judd:

"And as for Chris Judd, you can have him!!!"



Yep thanks guys we will - but we feel really bad about it.

Someone should mention the part where the best player in the AFL chose us.

Got to agree with you there John. 8)

I am loving it at work at the moment with all these sooky opposition supporters and their constant snide remarks against our great club. All I have to do is just stand there with a smug little grin on my face while they lose the plot. It gets them so angry!!!!

I was getting angry at first with all the morons ringing up SEN with their rubbish, but then I realised how fantastic it was that opposition supporters feared us that much that they felt compelled to call up and bad mouth anything positive that happened to our club.

It really is a great time to be a Carlton supporter!!! :-D

Suffer in your jocks ADP. :lol: :lol: :lol:
