What if Jack had stayed on as President and did it AGAIN? $10M fine and no draft picks for 4 years?
The AFL should have seen the writing on the wall and done something about the penalties.
The Spew, Ron Evans and Wayne Jackson weren't interested in this at the time - only interested in taking out their personal revenge on Carlton after all the shit that John Elliott had heaped upon them over the years.
Only reason "The Spew" makes sycophantic noises about assisting Carlton now is because the KPI's he is measured against as CEO of the AFL means he has to deliver 8 games a weekend to the Free-To-Air Television Rights holders.
The Spew starts to shit himself when he is close to looking at a 15 team AFL competition.
This is the only reason the AFL have even thought about assisting Carlton at the moment - the $780million TV Rights deal is in jeopardy without us.
The sooner we kick this ineffectual board out give the AFL their money back and tell them to stick their "assistance" straight up their "collective arses"

the better Carlton will be.
