This is a best wishes thread to Mr Pratt, please don't post stuff that denigrates him.

Richard, if you are not in too much pain, I hope you rally and have enough time to see the Blues win a few more.

Probably not possible, but it'd be great if somehow Dick could get a message through to the players before they run out this week. But I understand his communication isn't great at the minute :(

I don't care what other supporters think.

I have and will continue to ignore them

Dick Pratts contribution to this great club has been immeasurable

As someone wrote today, We have our swagger back

And for that I will be eternally grateful

Inappropriate questions to be asking in a best wishes thread

Surely my 2 questions above were valid!!!

Surely all you posters have thought the same thing this week.

Should i create a brand new topic addressing my questions and leave this topic just to tributes?

No they weren't valid in this thread.

It hasn't entered my mind.

If you wish and yes, this is a best wishes thread, so best wishes only.

Thanks for posting the article, interesting read, I learnt alot of things I was unaware of. I wish someone would sent it to Rita on SEN so she can stop bagging him like she has been doing all day today.

Thanks Dick . . . Thanks for bringing our terrific club back to life .

We are quickly becoming the " Carlton of old " . And it was you who kick-started us again .

Thanks for all the help you have given to so many people around Australia over the years.

Thanks is a pretty small word , but I don't know any other to say how I feel .

I hope you can hang around to see a few more blues wins yet .

Thanks from PM and others:

http://www.optuszoo.com.au/article/news/news_latest/news_latest_theaustralian/7599324/the-nation-is-grateful-pm-tells-pratt.html

Quote:
KEVIN Rudd has told dying billionaire Richard Pratt that Australians are grateful for his generous philanthrophy and for his service to the country.

In a private bedside visit to the stricken 74-year-old industrialist, the Prime Minister thanked Mr Pratt for creating thousands of jobs and for highlighting awareness on public policy issues such as water management and the environment.

For the fifth day, friends of Mr Pratt, including music industry veteran Molly Meldrum and actress Tottie Goldsmith, visited Raheen to say their farewells.

A few endorphins released from watching the Blues serve it up to the Doggies today should hopefully provide some comfort.

Every victory belongs to you, Mr Pratt.

THE Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions has withdrawn criminal charges against Richard Pratt due to the packaging billionaire's ill health.

Great news that it has been dropped, but Dick would want it dropped on the basis of no case to answer; rather than due to his ill health.
