Blue ban


dee-luded

Recommended Posts

Your word is your honour Redleg. Crikey!

Until the AFL had the salary cap the bags of money did not breach any AFL rules did they?

As Mo said only the tax office would be interested. The cash was viewed as presents from happy fans.

Was out to dinner last night with a number of Blues fans, made it hard to eat my meal. The interesting thing was that to a man they wanted Ratten gone. They all felt he can't coach and has no game plan. They even suggested they would look at Malthouse which i think given the deal he has with the Pies will come to nothing. Mick has five years of big money coming his way and for the last three won't even have to coach.

Great to see trouble in the Blues camp. I just love it.

In fact, Chris Judd has a habit about being around clubs that have this sort of culture... maybe behind scenes he isn't the great leader he is portrayed to be.

Think your drawing a long bow there

He isnt a leader like Sticks

IMO Judd plays for Judd and does that very very well

Must admit its really hard to feel sorry for the Blues

Brock must be wondering if he joined Carlton FC or Carlton United Brewery

A very very long bow.

I wasn't serious about that, although I do like the idea of sticking my boot in while they are down.

People keep saying there but for the grace of god and that it easily could happen to us. That it has happened to us and that it was not so long ago we had issues with Neita, Colin, Brock, Nathan Carroll and others. That it happened with Collingwood, Geelong, Essendon ... most if not all the others. And we did something about it. So did most of the others.

But what's happening at Carlton is almost primeaval. While all of the other clubs introduced education and responsibility, and weeded out the no-hopers, Carlton never treated it as seriously. Not even when it was begrudgingly forced to offload its second most important playing commodity because his drunken fuelled antics (inter alia) embarassed, infuriated and humiliated its most important playing commodity (not to mention trashing the entire club before these neanderthals even woke up).

The problem, as it often does, lies at the top. For starters, the idea that Kernahan is going to address his players on drinking and responsible social behaviour on their return on 4 January is surely a joke. Sticks was completely out of his depth at the Fevola farewell press conference as he was grilled by the media over sexual harassment issues alleged against his former forward and fairly hazy on most else during the proceedings. But in front of his own boys we can only wonder at what point he's going to get up and sing, "Stand by Your Man" and when he's going to look straight into his mens' eyes and tell them "We're Carlton, f#$@& the rest!" Remember, this is the club president who, it is said after a loss to Fremantle on the Gold Coast this year, recommended some bonding in the traditional way - with a booze up. Little wonder that the boys decided to initiate 19 year old Levi Casboult, barely a week into the club as a rookie, by getting him shickered senseless on last week's river cruise. 

The thing is you're not going to get rid of this curse by way of a stern  lecture from Sticks (most won't understand it anyway). There's a lot more. Proper leadership, discipline, respect and dedication to the cause. I'm not sure they have what it takes over there because the "We're Carlton, f#$@& the rest" philosophy seems to have come home to roost.

Pre 1990s, the ATO had a paper bag over its head and no idea about the "black" economy. That dinner must have made you feel you were with MFC supporters.

Given the culture and their weakness in defence, I think Nathan Carroll would have fitted in there perfectly.

That would be the same Judd who was suspended for eye gouging. Now there'e a man's man. He and the Blues are a perfect fit. :o

Belting them in the years to come and watching the look on Judd's face as Scully, Trengove, Grimes et al cut them to pieces is going to be as sweet as it comes.

There has been for quite some time a swagger and air of superiority about Carlton, that they are above the rest of us common muck. Think its hilarious that its all crumbling around them. They obviously cant get the messages to stick with their players. . I too ask wheres the great man Judd..and coach in all this... very conspicuous by their silence.

ahh couldnt happen to a better bunch of tossers.. such a culture......all mouldy !!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear they sure know how to woop it up..

"A TEENAGE Carlton rookie was handcuffed or bound to another player and forced to down copious drinks in the Blues' booze-fuelled end-of-year celebrations.

Levi Casboult, 19, was barely conscious when his family came to his rescue.

The drinking game, in which Casboult was urged to go one-for-one with the older player, happened on a $100-a-head booze cruise that may have have cost the Blues a $1 million sponsorship deal."

Leadership, culture and responsibiliity...The spirit of Fev lives on.

"They know we're coming......."

I feel sorry for Levi, not so much because he was forced into a situation like this (I imagine this kind of thing happens at every club) but more so because his Dad had to come pick him up and then spoke to the media. He'll never live it down.

As for the rest of the story, I don't think any of my christmas presents this year will out-do this one.

Thankyou Carlton and Merry Christmas to you too.

And 'barely conscious'?

He'll never live down his reputation as a lightweight either!

SNAP.

Laugh at your own peril. Fact of the matter is that the Carlton boys are into serious training. Right at the moment several of them are fighting for right to wear Fev's coveted # 25 guernsey and they're all making a great fist of it. Sticks is over the moon!

These are my three favourite lines from the article in the Sun.

1. From one of the managers of the cruise boat "the players were making real [censored] of themselves, they were drunk as skunks".

2. The players were fighting each other.

3. The players continued to abuse each other as they left the boat.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
