best I could do

I have agonized over this all weekend and finally came up with a real version to shoot back at him. I got him on the blower this morning and before I could tell him my version, he started laughing about our win against the Weagles. So I didn’t get the chance to tell him my version, but I did get to tell him to go and get Rooted. That his wife was trailer trash and his kids were retards!! Now I feel better, F@%&#! Prick!!

My version:

Connected........
Arrogant..........
Rabid................
Lurking............
Thriving.............
Original.............
Never Say Die..

Are you on medication? I'm not sure what's worse, what you finally came up with or the fact that you agonized over it all weekend

Appreciate the compliment Gamey. I've had twice as much time as you to perfect my technique.

I am sorry Agro, I'll try harder next time. Any tips? Should I have just snotted him like I did on the footy field 30 years ago, when he said that Carlton and their supporters were fairies!

An ex-mate of mine (because he dared can my beloved Blues and he should know better) told me on Friday night that Carlton were a basket case even worse than Fitzroy.

Bullshit !!....we are a NOT a worse basket case than Fitzroy....SSSSHHHHH !!!....and I know you're taking the piss.

But just in case someone believes you, here's my two bobs worth...

Fitzroy were completely broke, and broken. Their president had to throw the money in to keep it going, were under merger threat 4 times over a 15 year period, attracting home crowds as low as 5000 to a game, and eventually they were gone...until the Brisbane Bears changed their name to the Brisbane Lions......T and I could go on....but they were gone.... don't get me wrong I trained with the lions and admired most of their players, even barracked for them against Essendon* in the finals.

We're still here, and we aint going anywhere. Trust me. It's on the field we need to improve and that will happen....even trash talking journos say it will take about 5 years for Carlton to experience onfield success again. So be it.

Then there's other clubs such as Melbourne Hawthorn and the Doggies who are in miles more poo than us in a lot of ways....merger threats, financial, membership, potential, history, supporter base, brand....

The current situation is the worst situation for Carlton since I barracked for them in 1968. There may have been difficult times prior I am not aware of, but the difficulties Carlton faced in the olden days, well Carlton overcame them.

Carlton will rise, just you better believe it. This club achieved record memberships since 2002 when we hit rock bottom...says a lot of the fabric this club is made of.

$7M debt...piss weak number in corporate terms, but that is a number we will trade through overtime. I'll let the financial people look after the finances, and if they don't we will kick them in the pants via TC; a very powerful tool, and incentive enough for them to perform.

On a final note, with reference to the basket case comments...If it Fitz Roy, that doesn't mean it Fitz Carlton. Don't believe the hype.

THE EMPIRE WILL STRIKE BACK!! and SSSHH and I will be drinking schooners shoulder to shoulder singing that great song...la ta ta ta taaaa

Dont think you went far enough actually.
