    Re: Dick Pratt stands down at Carlton

    Patrick Smith is beginning to win me over.

    Pretty brave to criticise the supporters as they are the ones who buy the paper.

        No sympathy for that club, its members or directors.

        Last week listening to SEN there was a discussion on the Doggies and their chances for this year in the finals. A typical arrogant Carlton supporter rings up and starts the old tragic history bit and talking up how great his club is and how we are a ramble of a club.

        They are a bunch of cheating crooks who bought premierships on the back of guys like Elliott (insert failed bankrupt businessman) and if you really want to know what I really think of Carlton, you only have to ask
        FFC: Established 1883

        Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.

          I think Mick Gatto would make an excellent Carlton president, representing all that the club stands for.

            It's really a shame about the CFC's "tragic history". On the surface such nice chaps, but on closer inspection just plain old crooks.

            I'd feel sorry for them if they weren't laughing all the way to the bank.

              DR, don't think they need Micky G they got their home grown crooks aplenty.

              I suspect their lining up replacements right now.

                      Mick Gatto is perfect. Boxing experience to take over at Visy as well.

                        Clever Ernie, might go over one or two people's heads.

                          Had to think about that one for a minute or two.

                          Effing brilliant, Ernie strikes again.
