The Carlton President?

The Panglossian
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

When Joe Gutnick took over Melbourne , the press and the "big end of town" regarded him with distrust and suspicion, and emphasised the evil of a rich man taking over the reins of a club.

Now Pratt takes over at Carlton and the press welcome him as a saviour of the "great club".

This man has some question marks hanging over him which if true are far worse than anything Joe ever did. Ask people whose life savings were in Occidental. Ask the Securities Commission about allegations of his price fixing with Amcor. Ask them about Russell Jones?

There is an unpleasant odour emanating from the leadership at Carlton, on and off the field.

    Pratt is no Angel and Gutnick was far far from it as well.

    Desperate times at Carlton and that odour has been there for some time.

    I actually thought Pratt might be a positive.

    God knows he could buy the AFL a couple of times over.

    Russell Jones? Please explain as I'm standing as an independent for the Senate in Qld once again and I'd really like to get my brain into gear. I really hate being called a fascist. Any tips?

    Russell Tyrone Jones (November 15, 1968 – November 13, 2004) was an American rapper known by the stage name Ol' Dirty Bastard (often shortened to ODB by mainstream media). He was one of the founding members of the hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan.

    I have no idea what [censored] Pratt or the Queensland Senate have to do with him.

    Perhaps it's not the same Russell Jones?

    Perhaps it's the one mentioned in this article - NO EASY OPTION FOR REGULATOR ON CARTELS

    It was a weak Pauline Hanson crack. Ignore it, one of my lesser contributions. Reminds oneself...stick to the footy.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
