he stole a phone worth more than $4500? how the hell do you find one of them?

also on Carlton, I like how they're pitting their fans against each other on that jumper debate, seems like a classic Carlton thing to do, half of them will get the design they want and the other half will have something new and minor to grumble about for a month..
The funniest thing about this is that Carlton claim it to be fan-driven but it isn't anything of the sort.

Our jumper change was fan driven. Brisbane's jumper change was fan driven. West Coast will return to their wings next year because it has been fan driven.

Carlton? The higher ups decided they liked it. The decision had already been made, but they put it to a 'vote' anyway, to 'prove' that it was fan driven. It wasn't. Not at all.

Not to say that fans wouldn't appreciate it, but they did not initiate it and nor is it the majority of fans that want change.

Just got this in an e-mail from a mate re. Essendon - cryptic, but interesting:

Don't rule out something big coming out shortly. Heard a LITTLE whisper yesterday and it could be interesting when some documents are tabled about who did what, who procured certain vitamins and who actually financed the whole deal. It really could take its Toll on the club.

That's all I'm saying, but watch this space. Calling it the blackest day in Australian sport may yet be proved an understatement!

Yep, that's exactly what I read into it too. Pretty obvious really.

Did you actually read the article?
"..... stealing laptops, iPads, clothes, hats and a phone worth more than $4500."
yes, the way I took that was that the last item was worth the money. they should've used the word totalling IMO!!

Wouldn't that read:

"..... stealing laptops, iPads, clothes, and hats, along with a phone worth more than $4500."

or

"..... stealing laptops, iPads, clothes, hats, and even a phone worth more than $4500."

or

"..... stealing laptops, iPads, clothes, and hats, and a phone worth more than $4500."


All singling out the phone being worth $4500 and not the total worth of the items described as


"..... stealing laptops, iPads, clothes, hats and a phone worth more than $4500."


Unless I'm completely incorrect about this...
