The Jim Wilson View..of Cousins

[Get Thee To A Nunnery]

I was listening to Jimbo this morning...rather embarrassing I know......but he makes a fair point about Cousins and Gardiner......Here are two guys attempting to salvage their respective career's, and yet they still believe its "ok" to mix it up with gangland members....it's got to make one wonder what the hell is going on up stairs....really do these jokers really give a damn about their football and their image or that of their club. I only hope Cousins does not take Richmond on a ride....(abit like that taken by Didak).............

If you believe what the peanuts in the media say about this then you're a bigger peanut.

Part time journo takes over the reigns at xmas and wants to make a name for himself. - "I know I'll write about Gardner and his gangland connections."

It's not a crime to know a criminal. A Bond, R Rivkin, G Richardson, G Wheatley - they've associated with a few people of high note.

It's a non story. If Gardener and Cousins were having lunch with this guy every day then there's a problem. Other than that it's a nothing story.

Jim Wilson can talk about things like "a good look" but getting close to a collegue at the olympics while his wife is at home with the kids isn't a good look either.

 

[Bojangles17]

oh well, where's it all begin and end partner, is it then ok to go on a drunken rampage damaging parked cars after 2 pots at the geebung...I could go on...How do we know the context of those relationships..the guy in question was a coterie member of st.kilda therein provides closel link to players...My view is people need to get out of the fishbowl

 

[fightingfury]

look i understand your view here bojangles17 but i think the media really do beat it up a lot... your right but if they are really on thin ice at their clubs they should try and cut ties with them as much as possible to get negative attention from them and more importantly their clubs.. i on the other hand have come across underworld figures like them but its not to talk about doing a ''hit'' for them

Someone shud write an article about judd and his associations with known criminals ie pratt, elliott etc

oooh careful, Blues fans are soooo sensitive bout that...its so wrong for a fella to succumb to a drug addiction, but oh so right to embrace some **** that sees fit to rort millions of ordinary Australians in higher packaging costs due to collusion that he was subsequently found guilty of and fined 40mn... Go Figure

You may wan't to have a read of this exert from Pratt's wikipedia page:

As well as his business interests, Pratt is known for his involvement in public service, having held posts including: foundation chancellor of Swinburne University of Technology, president of the Victorian Arts Centre Trust, and Chairman of the Board of Management of the Mental Health Research Institute of Victoria.
Through the Pratt Foundation, the Pratt family are among Australia's leading philanthropists donating up to $10 million AUD a year.

Pratt received the AO, Officer of the Order of Australia, in 1985 and the AC, Companion of the Order of Australia in 1998, Australia's highest honour.


Pretty generous man, huh? Sure he has made some mistakes, but he has helped many many people throughout his life.


Now all that Cousins will help do for your club, other than be a waste of space on the list, is have another relapse, take down several other players with him and expose your club for the true shithole that it is.

so are you saying its ok to steal hundreds of millions of dollars from people as long as you donate money back to causes?

What a twisted moral code you have but what can we expect from Carlton supporters

Carlton is a stinking mess of a club that has no place in a otherwise honest competition.

precisely Tiger, i didnt even read the crap in its entirety, knew exactly where he was trying to go....WEAK as PISS and says plenty about the "moral" crusaders in Blue

.NOTE ; the dates of Pratts wonderful deeds

LMAO .... "Pratt has made some mistakes"

I don`t think he made any mistakes ... his collusion and deception was an absolute brilliantly thought out masterpiece that took white collar crime to new levels over a very long period of time , defineately no mistake took place whatsoever .

I will actually pay homage and cheer your club the day it achieves any form of success within the boundaries and confines set out by the AFL .... because that will truely be a watershed day .

That didnt take long

 

[mhill]

To be fair Richard Pratt was only carrying on a legacy of theft and buggery that has been a hallmark of Carlton administrations for decades.

Exit stage left - John Elliot, enter understudy D. Pratt

precisely Idy my friend although I'd substitute brilliant for devious...Lucky for Pratt that Aust has not adopted the governing laws of the US where he would have been subject to criminal charges...would appear that Blues fans have clearly used the black jurors in the OJ simpson acquittal as their moral benchmark...what next?

You chump, have you ever heard of the term TAX WRITE OFF. See wikapedia and the definition will be- A GOOD WAY FOR RICH PEOPLE TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK LIKE DECENT HUMAN BEINGS WHILE GETTING OUT OF PAYING TAX.

A tad harsh with respect to the "shithole" comment. I was simply making the point with respect to Cousins and the Jim Wilson view..I was not so much shit bagging Richmond...Afteral, 2000 new members, shitload of publicity and more then likley much more then your club....some may say it was a wise move......to the punters through the gate..afterall it's now all about the dollars......what they actually play football........?

Proof that Carton supporters suffer from a superiority complex.

Fwiw,Jeannie is the philanthropist.

It's merely his money and her way of screwing him for screwing around.

He's a crook,just like many on the cfc membership list.

Jim Wilson is a desperate **** who is struggling to keep the respect of his children since the demise of his relationship with his wife,quite simply because he's a shitman,much like yourself.

So if you steal other people's money and give half of what you stole back in order to make yourself look good that's okay is it?

according to carlton supporters YES...wonder if they have the same sympathy for the cast of underbelly

O.K. your from Carltank, so you got more money(obtained illegally of course) than brains right.
Pratt was found guilty,of price fixing and we mums and dads (including you Da Chump)are paying everyday for it at the supermarkets, grocery stores etc, for everything from baby formular to friut,milk etc,etc.
The fine he recieved for his calculated actions is pittance compared to what he made out of the deal.
Carlton cheated the salary cap, and you have recieved a few early picks in the draft??

Cousins has ****ed up, he admitted so and is paying the price, give the bloke a chance to see what he can salvage from his career/life.
RFC has'nt been up top for a while, we all know that, though when we get there it will be done honestly.... unlike your Shithole of a club!

Oh yeah... almost forgot, Jim Wilson is a Biscuit!

lets face it dude. Do you really believe that the plan didnt factor in the, "if we are caught", scenario? Me dont think so...i.e. ok so just say someone wakes up, yeah ok, so the worst that can happen, according to our lawyers who we pay squillions to, to keep us in the loop, they say that we might at worst cop a 40mill kick in the arse. So it might cost us 40mill to make a a few 100 mill, and if we arent caught that few 100 mill just gets bigger.
Lets call the 40 mill, venture capital investment

White collar crime performed by highly educated people, uses:
Overall profit = (Know Profit) - (cost + potential costs(which might include time in a holiday prison-"bondy"))
Blue collar crime uses:
Overall Profit = **** it i am desperate and if it comes off i am good, if it doesnt i do time in the slammer.

I am tipping the authoroities that handed Pratt the fine, really didnt come up with the figure that he made while colluding and fixing prices....but hey, he has paid for his crime according to the "letter of the law".
