Do Carlton F.C. fly the flag when one of their own is targetted or hurt during a match? West Coast Eagles certainly did when Ben Cousins was on the end of Franklin (Hello are you there)? hit. When two players tackled Franklin and put him through the turf, to set an example not to mess with anyone from the Eagles team. I know Carlton are a young team but they should learn from such situations and make it part of their game, to make teams think twice when taking such chances.

no, we don't really fly the flag.

Why? because we don't have many natural leaders! We need to draft and develop leaders of this club!

Which is exactly why putting Simmo in the leadership group was a great move-i honestly see him becoming a future leader, and maybe even captain of this footy club.

it's not important. Ask Verbs. He plays so he"d know.

verbs is a girl and therefore cant be expected to understand what flying the flag is all about.

Flying the flag is monday morning at school assembly... followed by the national anthem....

But under no circumstances if youre playing a team sport do you rush into your team mates assistance when he is in his first year and he is being targetted for some rough house tactics...

Thats for losers!!!

Fev aside we dont have many players who can look after themselves or their teammates..Kade Simpson has matured and will make a stand but when you are his size its difficult.
Our big blokes are pathetic.....thats why I want Bryan in the team..forget about the ruckwork or big kicking...if he sticks up for his smaller teammates he gets the nod for the ruck spot ahead of the others IMHO...the others give us nothing in any area anyway..

I'll nominate Kennedy, Waite, Setanta and Hartlett who have to deliver on the flag flying..hard to nominate the young blokes but they have the physical attributes to keep the snipers off our young blokes..

Truth is, none of you know a thing about me. It's all in your minds. It's good to see people using their imaginations though, instead of being zombies stuck in cyber space.

Carry on.

I know that the concept of flying the flag is foreign to you though...thats something....

How do you know that? You know nothing about me. Wouldn't have a clue if you walked pass me in the street. You are completely ignorant. Anything you think you know about me you've made up in your head, night after night. It's a fantasy.

cos you said so.....

But only the first verse, no-one remembers the second...

I could have sworn verbs has had a sex change.

Don't worry Verbs - Rory still loves you.

Ah, but Rory is a ficticious character and as far as you know so am I. What is truth and what is fantasy you cannot possibly know. Indeed, all you have is a fantasy in your own mind, and nothing grounded in reality at all.

you have no problem flying the flag for yourself there verbs... just noone else on your footy team....
