Some of you have stated that this is a good topic, I'm sorry, but I reckon this is a sh*t topic (no offence dannyboy). The only good thing to come out the 5 pages so far (apart from Franks' passionate thoughts) is this from Pat's Fitzpatrick:
Quote:
In 1982 Carlton played Richmond late in the season at Waverley Park. As usual for the times it was a rugged and willing encounter, and by late in the third quarter Carlton were wilting under the onslaught. Then Richmond's Mick Malthouse crashed an elbow into Ken Sheldon's head, knocking him out.
Blue Fury erupted and four or five Carlton players went after Malthouse.
But they couldn't get to him because Richmond ruckman Mark Lee was in the way. Enter Fitzy. Thump. Lee is sitting on his bum. Then Fitzy has Malthouse by the collar, marching him backwards with their faces centimetres apart. Message delivered, he sends Malthouse stumbling backward with a last contemptuous push - then turns to call his team together.
From that moment, Richmond were history.
What a player. What a leader. What an inspiration.
Brilliant Pat, I was only 13 at the time so cannot remember this game, you had me on the edge of my seat.
Hamill is a money-hungry c*nt, I will never forgive him for leaving our great club - i don't care about the Elliott saga. We supported him for 4 years after drafting him late, we took the AFL to court to allow him to play in the 1999 grand final, we gave him the famous #4 in 2000 - he owed US, not the other way around.
I'm sorry, but I'm with Verbs on this, what is the f*cking point of this post - where is it getting us in 2005. NOWHERE - I'd rather a post about who our next captain is rather than this tripe!!!
