That bloke is the biggest rent a quote merchant in the AFL; he'll say whatever you want for $$$.

Anyway, what else are they even going to talk about? We've been so quiet on the media front that they're running out of things to disapprove of.

Read that ready to let fly but he didn't call our leadership group overrated or rubbish, he called large leadership groups in general that.

Still one thing he did get wrong IMO:


“Lachie Plowman also got the vote. No doubt a very exciting prospect with a bright future and leadership potential, but the facts will tell you he boasts a 28 percent winning record at AFL level and is yet to experience a final. Hardly leadership material for a proud club like Carlton."

How the hell is Lachie's winning percentage or finals experience relevant? He just got through talking about the size of our group and then wonders how much leadership the #7 or 8 guy is going to provide.

How many of our players have a great winning %?

Should we put Daisy in there or Lang because he came from a winning side? It's just shortsighted bullshit.

Staph! Just when you think I can't love him anymore. But why oh why did they use the photo where he has his eyes shut?! #editfail
He's a Zen master visualising holding up the premiership cup.

I didn't realise Ed was so short.

Even Murph and Simmo easily got him covered.

Looks like Charlie got the tall genes.

There’s a lot questions raised by that photo on relative heights - Lachie Plowman is probably the shortest 191cm listed player in the AFL, Cripps looks as tall as Matty Kreuzer, there is no way Ed Curnow is 181cm tall.

Surely you are not suggesting the club is being untruthful. ;)

I'm convinced that Alex Silvagni doesn't possess the ability to smile.
Not many people know this, but he was actually the original model for the new and improved Weiterbot we rolled out in 2016. Still has some old tricks, but the personality mechanism (see: none) is still in tact.
