Preview Rnd 10 Carlton v Adelaide Sunday May 25 4.40 pm @ MCG - Team post *686

[Silvagnis]

Honestly, if I hear anyone near me boo Eddie at any stage on Sunday afternoon, I may belt them over the head with a suitcase.

If anything, should be cheered by everyone at the ground for what he gave us for so many years.

Leave them for Simon White or Scotland.

Will the Carlton fans be a little kinder when they greet their previous hero, Eddie Betts, when he lines up for Adelaide at the MCG on Sunday afternoon? Probably not.

But as far as Adelaide is concerned, the value of recruiting Betts for a reported $600,000 a season has not been simply to tart up an unsuccessful forward structure, but what he has also given the club off the field - life experience.

600K for life experience.

Booooooooooooooooooooooo!

Well J, let's just hope we are not sitting near each other on Sunday.

The way I see it, it will be a nice change to be at a Carlton game and actually seeing a Carlton supporter booing the opposition rather than one of our own.

 

[ODNBlue]

I've got your back!

Considering your often stated stature... are you sure it's his back that you've got?

 

[Sam The Doc]

You'll be taking a suitcase to the game?

I'm bringing my kitchen sink so we can target Dangerfield or Sloane.

Hey J can I put my jacket in that suitcase ??

Will save me carrying a back pack...

Might need more than the kitchen sink for Dangerfield and Sloane.
Can we bring Steve Da Rui out of retirement to line them up at the first bounce.

So now I have to cop all the short jokes now?

You will be at the bag checking area until half time!

Think he was meaning "throw the kitchen sink at them" from a recruiting point of view HBF...

Will Dangerfield fit in there after we throw the kitchen sink at him....

Yeah. I was hoping to have signed them up at Carlton by the time Jeremiahs gets in the ground.

Steve Da Rui would make Dangerfield look like Betty White!

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Steve Da Rui would make Dangerfield look like Betty White!

and would make Sloane look like Mil Hanna....

I don't understand booing..................unless it's for James Hird, of course.

Nah don't get me wrong, I like Eddie Betts and admire and appreciate all he did for Carlton. That said you are either with us or against us and in taking the contract at the Crows Eddie is no longer one of us. The same as Grigg, Hampson and anyone else that has left. That is how I see it plain and simple and all on this board wishing him well and hoping he has a good game will throw up if he kicks the winner against us after the siren!

I only hope that they do not injured and that they play substandard games against us.

I see every situation as having its own set of circumstances.

We were the ones happy to see Hampson and Josh Kennedy go, so hard to have a grudge against them.

Jacobs wanted to leave for opportunity that wouldn't have been afforded to him at the CFC, so no hard feelings there.

If we're going to be dirty on Eddie then we have to be dirty on Thomas but I guess objectivity doesn't really come into play.

Grigg though.........................................

I am not dirty on him or any other player leaving, that is their right to do so and good luck to them. My point is they are no longer representing the Carlton jumper and therefore they are no different to any other opposition player. Thomas now wears a Carlton jumper so he is one of us. In the end I follow the Carlton Football Club, players will come and go but the club and jumper will always remain....except for that M&M's number!

This is what happens when you make yourself a big target...

 

[King of Ruin]

Grigg though.........................................

I find it hard to boo, Grigg.

You are way too busy laughing at him to be doing anything else.

I see what you're saying..............

First saw that on my phone, and the strikethrough didn't show up. Thought it was a fat joke for a second and got reaaallly mad.
