Carlton off-season strife

[alwaysadog]

Was Kernahan drunk?

Isn't it a required quality for a president of the Filthy Blues, along with lying and cheating?

It seems the tradition is alive and well within their playing group as well.

A long time ago when I took part in inter-varsity sport the highlight at the end of each years competition was a drinking contest or two.

The trick was to bring in a great drinker or two who hadn't played.

The Filthy Blues haven't worked out what even silly undergrads knew, that you can't be pissed all the time and perform. Come to think of it even Shakespeare had the odd funny word or two to say about the matter of performing under the influence.

Thought he was actually proved to be drunk , just checking but i get the idea.

Bluebaggers are still partying like it's 1987. They were the last team to embrace the national draft and rebuilding through youth, so it comes as absolutely no surprise that they are so reluctant to move away from the drinking culture (thinly disguised as team bonding). These 'penalties' only reaffirm their inability/unwillingness to stamp out this culture once and for all. The game has changed an amazing amount even since 1999 and Carlton have proven time and again to be reactive to the changing professional environment of AFL.

I hope Kernahan and Ratten stay in their repsective roles for another 5 years.

Exactly my sentiments carlton are stuck in a time warp in all aspects of our game. The funny thing is what an absolute farce if they bring their biggest crook[cast of thousands been involved with that club] Elliott, I still find it amazing in this day and age that boozy christmas parties still go on. Surely a relic of the past

The word around the traps is that a fair bit more happened on the 'Booze cruise' than what is known by both the club and the media and if it got out the proverbial would hit the fan.

Sorry I know nothing more.

Would be interested to know if any Journo has hassled the cruise company enough to gain more information.

Did you tell him you have a "no shirts off" policy?

No, he is always well behaved when he comes in.

I am sure the waitresses(and a gay workmate) wouldn't mind if he came in without a shirt.

[Scraggers]

Can we attribute this to the Filth as well ???

FORMER AFL star Justin Murphy failed to donate cash to the Black Saturday bushfire appeal as part of a court penalty for theft.

Murphy, who made his name at Essendon and Carlton, was arrested for stealing a purse from the counter of a Williamstown bank while waiting to make a transaction in 2008.

Last year he was ordered by a magistrate to pay $400 into the bushfire appeal, but Heidelberg Magistrates' Court was told yesterday that Murphy, 33, had not made the payment.

Clutching at straws ??

I missed this – was his arrest made public in 2008?

Another player who’s been Carlton-ed.
