Carlton Supporters Club

Just a rubbish club that is a drain on the AFL, Elliott should have bought them out and closed them down when he had the chance.

It wasn't a closed down deal, it was a merger...Carlton kangaroos.
Was all set to go ahead at the end of the year.
1 problem though, that year was 1999 and Carlton played Kangaroos in the grand final that year and nobody would've agreed to the deal.

They were having a chat after the game and all seemed well.

Make no mistake, there was no "merger", it was take over, poach the best players and shut the old entity down. It was going to be called the Carlton Football Club, wearing navy blue with a white CFC on the front.

I believe the cfc was being replaced by the kangaroo, but otherwise accurate.
It wasnseen that way because we had the money and they didn't, but make no mistake, 'the blues' would cease to exist.

There were two separate episodes.

In 1991, we secured shares in North Melbourne with a view to a hostile takeover.

In 1999, Ron Casey approached Pig’s Ask about a merger of the two clubs.

Both are linked.
Elliot had 25% share of kangas after the failed merger of 1999, he sold them off soon after as the afl turned its back on mergers at the same time.

The AFL's legal counsel Andrew Woods argued Young could have avoided a collision with Zurhaar altogether.

Sounds reasonable to me  

It's late, so forgive me if im not understanding this correctly, but is he saying he should’ve  ran out of the way?

The AFL's legal counsel Andrew Woods argued Young could have avoided a collision with Zurhaar altogether.

"What I submit is Young slows his body in a manner that makes forceful contact and one of the things he could have done to avoid contact is he could have veered to his left and accelerated out of the contest," Woods said.

Sounds reasonable to me  

Hope Stocker plays on him next time and belts him, Jack is way too nice a young bloke....
Horne Francis has crept up my list of opposition disliked players.... got a few Nth players on that list.

Yep, quite an absurd argument. Could have 'veered' and 'accelerated out of the contest'... all in a split second. Ridiculous, and likely physically impossible. Just because the game was at Marvel Stadium, it doesn't mean that Young possessed the evasive skills of Spider-Man.
