Agree hate being grouped with those lowly clubs.

What irks me is the club is proactive and gets 53K membership on the back of 27 years of false dawns and 30 years where 2 finals spots are what we have to show.

Yet these nothing clubs have meagre membership and meagre bucks yet they get a full slice of pie from the AFL with whipped cream and ice cream.

Gee it'd be great if Carlscum rebuilt poocess park for about 100 million and then went bankrupt.  I can dream can't I?
