Which Carlton Player Can You Not Forgive?

[Tony Lynn 15]

Okay, time for some off season fun and memories.

As a club I reckon we have done quite well with hanging on to most players and not have too many leave that we wanted to hang on to. The game is different now so player movement is expected.

So the question is, which Carlton player is the one that really hurts you for leaving. Who is the one try as you may you just cannot forgive for changing teams?

For me it was Ray Byrne, he was my favourite player growing up and when he left at the end of the 1978 season to join the bitter enemy I was shattered. It made me ill to see him in the black and white stripes and it was probably only the fact we rolled them in the 1979 grand final that made me feel better.

There have been plenty of others so I look forward to reading about them in this thread.

Aaron Hamill. Was gutted like a fish when he left.
He and Whitnall were an awesome duo.
P.s. * you John Elliot...

I was at the Best and Fairest night when Elliott unloaded on him during his speech. Was pretty obvious Aaron was out the door!

Just wish Sammy had got Elliot's head in that door Jo Pesci style on the way out...

Forgave him years ago.

Don't look back in anger.

On his day, the only matchwinner we had.

Jarrad Waite, dead to me. Want to see how a real father-son goes about respecting the club check out young silvagni.

 

[Bluey24]

I want to say Eddie, but I still love him......

Which is why he let the club, supporters and himself down, as Bluesque said.

A complete buffoon who played a huge part in establishing a toxic culture amongst the playing group, one that has taken many years to rectify.

 

[thylacine60]

that damp squib camporeale - didn't like him as a carlton player so he didn't stand much chance once he bailed to *

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Not that he went to another club but one player I could never forgive for just how s**t and pea-hearted they were was Cain Ackland.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

s**t can the players thread hey.

I'm outta here.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

s**t can the players thread hey.

I'm outta here.

For the record that was not the intention. It was supposed to be about the one who left and it broke your heart.

 

[TheCoach16]

Hypothetical, and I would've forgiven him, but had Gibbs gone, it would've hurt me more than any player that's ever left our club...

 

[thylacine60]

s**t can the players thread hey.

you'll be missed - thread is a lot different to the "worst carlton player ever" efforts of old......in fact many of the players nominated here will be stars

I love your enthusiasm for that man Coach!

I either see something in him that others don't, or I'm missing something that others see. But I love this bloke. He's a star in my eyes. I don't know if it will ever be "official", but he'll go down as a great for me...

 

[Soapy V]

Can I say Thomas for wasting our time and money?

Not players but I can't forgive Malthouse Hughes & Rogers or whoever employed them

Star yes and I like him but not a great
