Did I hear sticks say that this was him signing a Glenelg contract with his father?
I’m drowning in memories of Carlton’s past. I kept Football Records (I didn’t realise I was a hoarder) and I’ve been sorting through them as I don’t have space to store them in the future. They start from 1977 finals records (I know we didn’t make the finals in 1977) and continue through to the early 2000s. There are plenty of home and away Records, Final and Grand Final Records (I hope the grammar passes muster).
As examples today I found Football Records from 1993 and 1995.
The Round 16 clash with Fitzroy at Princes Park when Alistair Lynch kicked 7. Pretty good? Not good enough though. SOS kicked 10.6 and we won the game by 86 points (those were the days). Another from 1993. The Round 2 draw with * at the ‘G. You know the one. Sticks could have won the game after the siren and missed the lot. A 1995 Round 3 Football Record when Sticks had a better day against the Bulldogs and kicked 10-7. Yes, 17 shots that scored. There must have been a couple of misses as well given his helicopter punt style of kicking for goal. I was one of those nerds who marked the goals and behinds, the scores from other games etc. I loved footy that much.
This is a Hail Mary. They will go into a skip in the near future. I’m happy to send them to a new home with my best wishes and no other requirement. I’m in Sunbury, Vic (not for long) so a pick up or meet up can be arranged. If anyone is interested send me a personal message and I’ll get back to you.
If no one is interested that’s fine and rest assured we use to be the hottest team in the competition. I have the evidence.

led to believe someone called guessen and asked dwayno to look at the number of wins for gc in the past 5 season against fitzroy in their last 5 of existence - I think it was something like f27 v gc29 - and the lions were deadmen walking whilst gc has had how many million poured in with endless compromised draft picks?

I do too, but you cannot carry a mid that averages less than 15 disposals a game or a forward that averages half a goal a game, regardless of how many tackles he lays. And he only lays 3.4 tackles a game, too.
I 'spose I just never saw it with Holman. He's like Clem Smith; the fact that he tackled with intent was enough to have people salivating, regardless of whatever else he did or couldn't do.

Despite how much I admire his pressure and commitment to a contest, not sure he has a higher level
I was looking at the Football Records today and found this great article on Syd Jackson.

Not sure if any of you watched The Front Bar last night but Alex Marcou was on it and retold his famous story of the trip to the lodge in 1981 and him going with a girl known as 'Fabulous.'

That is a ripper, Robbo.
I was lucky enough to spend a few days in Kukerin about 12 years ago with a lot of past players including Jackson, we were all domiciled in the Kukerin pub so spent breakfast lunch and dinner together. Jackson is an absolute gentleman.
Walls description of Jackson as a ladies man is accurate as well, one of the things I noticed is how incredibly smooth he was. He had the ladies of Kukerin laughing and enjoying his company the whole weekend.
Mrs Robbo has the lurgy at the moment and I’m sleeping on the couch. This allows me to catch up on some reading. This article is from Round 8 1997. Carlton played Hawthorn and won the game by 25 points. I notice Sticks kicked 1.5.

Still sorting through stuff. I found a dusty suitcase that belonged to my mum who was affectionately referred to as Mrs G and found this within.
Published in 1958 with a forward by Robert Menzies.
This was inside the book.
This is a program from a 1965 Intraclub match.

Looking through stuff and came across this clipping. I remember this game very well. We travelled over for the game. It was Round 2 1991 and Adelaide had belted the Hawks, who were the reigning premiers, the previous week. We were expected to be an easy kill but it didn’t work out that way.
I remember walking through the car park pre-game and copping unkind remarks from the Crows supporters. Once inside the ground they hid us in the Stand behind the goals. There was maybe a few hundred Carlton supporters. We were vocal throughout the game. After the siren we sang ‘We are the Navy Blues’ with gusto. It was one of the best days I’ve ever spent at the footy.
Older supporters would recognise these blokes as Sticks and Dooza.
