Guess who

Guess who

I honestly have not read "The Age" today - but if I had my guess I would reckon it would be an incompetent Australian of Greek-Cypriot who is trying to justify his performance in a position that he is eminently under qualified for.

Correct Agro and KK - isn't he just such an idiot. The AFL has no idea - I am sure if the numbers are analysed it shows that the big four are pulling the crowds in spite of being off the pace. AFL has no idea how important the "old firm" (the 4 big ones) really is for the health and future of footy in Victoria.

that would be that F@%&#! of all things Carlton Demitripooprick features, the man I hate with a passion for destroying my footy team,

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.

From The Age:


"...a pleasing aspect of the increased attendance rate was that the crowds were 20 per cent higher than last year in Victoria, despite three of the biggest Melbourne clubs - Collingwood, Essendon* and Carlton - being near the bottom of the table.

"It debunks the myth that the national competition needs a strong Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon* and Richmond ... it's an indication of how strong the national competition is," he said."

Guess who

Laserkid, I agree with you in principle......but there is some scope for teams to choose their own destiny.

How else do you explain Hawthorn not taking up the option of picking up chris judd? - who in my opinion is one of the most exciting player for yonks.
