Gotta love Murph

Was really impressed with the way Murph handled himself. Took the time out to ask the names of supporters he was signing stuff for and having photo's taken with.

He can do no wrong in my book

Lots of lovely pics there.

Thanks very much guys. We appreciate it.

Oh, and I love the new sparkling white tops.

More times than you'd think. I invited him to a Christmas party last year. We were going to go in matching outfits, but he was busy that day with family commitments.

Nice guy. His reply to me, when I told him (via email) that people tell me that all the time, was "you must be a very attractive man"

I thorougly enjoyed yesterday's events and it was well worth the drive up and back to Sydanee! Congratulations must go to the Club for a significantly increased focus on the non-traditional footy states!

Speaking to Ian Coutts, the Club is very keen to get to the States more often where Carlton don't normally play, and are a bit upset at the AFL that yet again, we get two games in '06 in the South and the West (unlike, yet again, another older Melb. Club who shall remain grandfinaless..)

- have posted just a few photos at my new blog:

http://www.canberracarltonblues.blogspot.com/

points of interest:

- talked a bit to Stevens about Campo and what it's been like for him playing for the Blues against the Ferrils at FP. He said that he was spat at 5 times in one match, including one bloke, face to face from about 2 metres away! - What a bunch of nice people......

- Marc Murphy - possibly a bit overwhelmed by all the attention on the day and although there's no doubt he's tanlented, SUPPORTERS SHOULD NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH OF HIM!!!! I think it's reasonable that the Club use him for marketing purposes, but I hope they don't over do it!

He's expecting to start off on a forward flank or wing and progress into the Centre at some stage!

It's embarrasing to think I'm over twice his age, but he's 18 only years old and to give you some idea of where he's coming from, yesterday was his first trip to Sydney!

LET HIM EASE INTO IT!

I still say he's got a great attitude and he's a very likeable lad but EASE OFF! Sure he was no. 1 pick, sited as next Cousins or whoever it was but again, the kid's 18, and the pressure really been put on him in terms of expectations, both from within and outside the Club.

No doubt he'll be a legend, and hopefully, for his whole carreer a Carlton legend, but...

Give

Him

Time!

(I'll step off my soap box now!)

Kouta - not entirely impressed I'd have to say - was finding the sun a bit bright when asked by the Daily Telegraph photographer to take his sunnies off for a pic and spent a long time during the official funtion outside, on the phone instead of inside, with the supporters, some of whom had come a bloody long way (whinge, blubber blubber etc) to attend.

Still, when "Couttsie" went through his profile, well, it's not too bad really

Again, a great day and congratulations to the Club, but more so to Adele and friends from the NSW supporters group! It was a brilliant event!

Rich

Kouta may have been outside on the phone dictating his Sydney diary!
