Carlton-Judd threads [merged]

[mightytiges]

i have a conspiracy theory.

imo, i belive judd told the wce, to go with the trade and cave in or he would open up a "can of worms"

just my opinion , but  have a gut feeling judd held the eagles for ransom

Miller without saying it directly was alluding yesterday and today that perhaps another party (the AFL) got involved in this.

I'd prefer us to just move on.

[Francois Jackson]

the afl are ruining this game they get involved when it doesnt concern them and when they should step in all we get is.
"nothing will be changed people who think this way are delusional"

over their crap

 funny stuff if u havent seen it

Either way Judd is a football mercenary
Vladimir likes getting paid in brown paper bags
and Pratt likes paying people with brain paper bags.
Money talks bullsh1t walks. Its as simple as that.
Get over it lads. I as cut as the next true Richmond fan.
All I hope is there is a steely determination in the player group
instilled over summer from TW and Miller and they come out firing
like the 1973 Grannie and put those Carlscum bastards where they belong.
Deep into the MCG turf head first. Especially that hard centre wicket area
in the middle come March where the cricket pitch would have been
no more than two weeks earlier.

Billionaire Richard Pratt might have to quit as Carlton Football Club president after his admission that his company Visy ran the biggest price-fixing cartel in Australian corporate history.

Board members of clubs or companies that hold gaming licences must be assessed for their suitability by the Victorian Commission for Gaming Regulation.

The Gambling Regulation Act requires a person seeking a gaming licence to be "of good repute, having regard to character, honesty and integrity".

The AFL have looked after Carlton in the draw. They get to play us, Collingwood and Essendon in the first 3 rounds. Nice of the AFL to boost the Blues' coffers 

[Francois Jackson]

and its no surprise they have a powerfull president not like our weak one.

Who needs a strong president when you receive AFL charity after charity 

In less than a month, Carlton will break new ground as the first team in AFL history to use three successive No. 1 selections at the draft when it picks Northern Knights ruckman Matthew Kreuzer.

The AFL has even joined the party. It has loaned Carlton money interest-free, guided the club's future direction, overlooked the club's systematic half-season fadeout and, it even seems, inclined to ignore Richard Pratt's white-collar crimes.

In short, Carlton is back on track.

yes and why u ask??? because the afl wants them up and running and winning flags again.
they dont care about the norths, geelong even, buldogs etc etc they just want the blues, pies and so on right back up there.

Why not include the tigers in that. im guessing if we make the finals and start getting into the top 4 that may be a bonus for these money hungry afl pigs. they know there on a winner with those 2 teams above.

There's little reward for Clubs who work themselves out of financial difficulty like Richmond is doing yet we have to compete against clubs who receive a unfair advantage by receiving CBF money from the AFL. While we are scrimping these other clubs like Carlton and Melbourne can come out and claim million profits courtesy of AFL charity . The CBF was meant to balance these clubs books; not give them money to waste on number printing machines for merchandise .

Same old Carlton thinking they are above the rules

Blues plan to sidestep gaming regulations to keep Pratt at helm
Stephen Rielly | November 5, 2007

CARLTON says it has plans to ensure Richard Pratt remains president of the club in the event that the Victorian Commission for Gaming Regulation deems him unsuitable to hold a gaming licence.

The club would not detail how it intended to engineer Pratt's stay if he was denied a licence, but it is understood that ownership of the 100 gaming machines Carlton operates could be transferred to a new or separate entity to sidestep the problem.

gee you really do have NFI!!!

Our club has done wonders off the field. Your obviously too young to remember our past but i can tell you right now its a hell of alot better off field now than what its been for almost an eternity!!!

How in the world you continually arrive at some/most of your little pearlers never ceases to amaze me.

[Francois Jackson]

hey blx ur right i am probabaly younger than you and thats sad on ur behalf cause clearly your the one who has NFI as u put it.

read my posts tosser i support our team when we got a new sponsor and critisize when we make stupid desicions like in recruiting. well woopty bloody doo sue me.
im sure more than ever its people like you who sit their in the stands bagging players like richo and then come on this thing acting high and mighty like you support and love everything richmnond do on and off the field.


so our president is very vocal and strong is he? give me a break. off field yes we r great and best position ever financially but i never mentioned that loser i said he was weak and i still stand by that.

listen carefully pal, next time u shoot ur mouth off consider everyone on this thing loves this footy club and are entitled to their opinion so get back to your stitching or whatever u "old"people do
