Re-------sign man

Some people have been typing "resign" and others "re-sign" that's why I said 'get it right'.

I can't help but think that naming Sticks as the second best in our history was a political decision based on his presidency ending. I would have had him at 5th. Not that he wasn't arguably our 2nd greatest captain.

I guess it all comes down to opinions, i would have had Jezza at number 1, Sticks at 2, Nick at 3, Doull at 4 and SOS at 5.

I saw all these players play and i don't think anyone should underestimate how incredibly good Kernahan was as a player and a captain. He performed consistently well even when the team was down. If anything it seems to me his standing as a player is sometimes downgraded by people based on their assessment of his performance as a board member and president.

Jezza was just a freak who could play anywhere at the highest level and do things no other player in the competition could do at the time.

If there was any political reasons for where they placed someone i would suggest it is the reason Jezza was rated fourth and not first. The circumstances surrounding him leaving Carlton left a bad taste in the mouth and a lot of resentment from even the most ardent Jezza admirers.

You are so right, it's only the older generation of Blues fans who saw him play who can understand & relate to how good he really was.

I nearly cried twice about Jezza, the first was when that dirty dog Magro jumped in the air and shirt-fronted him, it was one of the most cowardly acts I've seen on the footy field !!

The second was seeing Jezza running around in a Saints jumper, it was near sacrilege that the infighting at the club forced him to leave.

Unfortunately for Jezza he made an error in judgement in assuming that the members would vote for Harris based on the fact he said he would leave if Harris wasn't re-elected as president. He shouldn't have involved himself in club politics.

It was a very sad time in the history of our club that tore many of us apart. It most likely also cost us the chance of emulating Collingwood's feat of winning 4 successive flags. That team was more than capable of winning the flag in 1980, we gave Richmond a free shot at it.

I agree with you Sheik, seeing Jezza in the Saints guernsey was the worst thing i have ever endured as a Carlton supporter.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Jesaulenko..............he's one or two.



You could not believe how good he was.

 

[BlueBias]

Jezza for #1 in my opinion. 1979 was football Utopia for a Carlton Supporter. Always requested #25 when I played.

When Jezza got an elbow to the head and went down, who was the first person on the scene to fly the flag ........ Big Nick !!

Also liked it that there was a black dog on the ground against the Saints.

Was at Crown on Saturday night and passed Jezza outside leaving the 150 year dinner.

... Let's just say he was looking a little tired and emotional - I think he'd had a good night !!

Apparently the 'future of carlton' segment got cut from the night on saturday as the event went over time. They were meant to talk to current players. I'm guessing this might have been where Gibbs etc was announced.

I have no idea how you guys could stand to watch footy on TV without goal umpire POV cams

I'm sure if they really wanted to announce it on Saturday night they would have. Pity they didn't cut Sandra Sully instead, her questions were painful.

 

[BlueBelle]

Surely if they were going to announce contract re-signings, they would've! (I hope!)
