Electric Blue, don't let Elliott off the hook scot free. He was the leading culprit in my opinion. The arrogance of that man was unbelievable. He still doesn't think he did any wrong to this day.


Anyway, that is in the past. Maybe Demetriou can figure out why Carlton got 40,000 to a match against Brisbane EVENTHOUGH CARLTON are on the bottom of the ladder. There aren't too many teams in any league around the world- English premier soccer or whatever - who can get 40,000 punters despite being on the bottom of the ladder.


The reason>? Carlton represent a team unjustly downtrodden by an omnipresent organisation. They are the underdogs. The fighters against injustice..... and people like fighters against all odds.

In contrast -
Essendon* represent a team who have been pandered to by the AFL
St Kilda are the handout kings.
Melbourne have received their fare share of handouts even though they did pick up Davey etc. with clever recruiting.

That leaves honest teams (once Elliott left) like Carlton. No wonder we get good crowds - as long as the players keep putting in 100% effort the crowds will remain.
