Well, the more things change, the more they ****ing stay the same:

Blueseum 1896 said:
"With charming naivete several speakers at the annual meeting of the Carlton Football Club "expressed the opinion that the poor form shown by the club recently was due to the fact that not a shilling had been expended for professionalism."

The inference is that last season Carlton played a team consisting of legitimate, if comparatively weak, amateurs, but that in the former time of the club's prosperity its success was achieved by means which, if exposed, would have rendered the club and all the paid players liable to disqualification under the laws of the Victorian Football Association.
