The pokies king, a former Blues director who has gifted hundreds of money-spinning poker machines to the club, said Carlton was only just recovering from the savage salary cap sanctions handed down by the AFL 15 years ago.
“We are two years into our plan (under coach Brendon Bolton) and you’ve got to realise that the league destroyed us — they nearly buggered us for life really with what they did to us,” he said.
“You look at how they let Essendon off compared to what they did to us. It was a disgrace what they did to Carlton, the penalties were so big.
“We’re only starting to work our way out. We were in front in nine games this year in the last quarter with a bunch of young kids. We’re not far off and there’s no point rushing out now and buying a million people, because the kids need at least another year under their belt.
