Looks like it's coming off for a good cause :D
http://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/2013-08-29/off-with-his-beard
Won't be able to recognise Ned on the field without the beard! ;D
I'll chip in a $20 for him to shave it!!
One of my mates has a beardless Simpson on his membership card. Very strange. But good on him on the charity thing and I'm glad the season has turned around for him. We lack a lot of steel already without Simmo tearing it up.
Simpson leave the beard. Just remember Sampson and his hair. Where he got all his strength from ?
For some reason I saw a tweet from "simmos beard" today and it stated "days are numbered" or something to that effect.
Good on ya mate, its a great cause. My old mate Cicca who will do the trimming has asked me to spread the word and dig deep, they want to raised as much as possible.
I'll committ to $50 if we can get 10+ people from the CSC menagerie to donate.
1. Carrots $20 $50
2. GTC $50
3. Deags $50
4. denimundies $20
5. Itsourtime $20
6. Bear $20
7. The Fangelis $20
8.
9.
10.
Leave the beard...he is playing footy akin to what Wayne Johnston played....vs the Bombers he did everything in a Dominator type fashion.
Carrots is in for $20, Ill be in for $50, thats 2.
3 including me.
Surely there's 10 of us... For a very good cause.
Looks crap so shaving it off and raising money for charity is a win-win all round.
I'll do $50 as well don't want to look like the cheapskate.
Well done PI2C. Champion.
I'm a cheapskate.. 20$ :P
We'll probably be calling for it back if he starts off next year with a form slump though
Well done fellas.
I think we can still get a couple of more donations.
Worthwhile charity, these guys do a mountain of good work and are really important to helping the kids with Downs to really get somewhere in life. The earlier that kids with any sort of impairment can get therapy the better it is for them in terms of long term outcomes.
I'm in for $20... how does one donate?
im in for $20 also
Great work.

I only said the cheapskate thing because I thought I was the only one with $20! So can I switch back to $20 now? :P
But seriously, any amount is better than no amount.
Okay, so we're just doing individual donations rather than a CSC one then?
Maybe we should start donating to charities if the team wins games. A cynical disposition I know, but it's a lot easier to grow a beard than perform as a team. Just as it's a lot easier to donate money based on popular sentiment, rather than feel compelled because of your own beliefs.
It was interesting to read the comments section from the GA recently regarding a concert at Simmonds Stadium for Casey Tutungi.

I have no problem with anyone supporting a charity, but I become squeamish when there seems to be a need for recognition by donors or there is an obvious bias based on public profile of the receiver.
I think it would be easier if everyone does their own rather than having to pass money around to each other. We can then post our receipt number or something.
I am not sure if there is somewhere on the donation page where we can put CSC in as a moniker.
The Beard should stay,
he has been an absolute kamikaze since he got the bead
and a complete hero!
I am preparing a list of 21 other carlton players who should grow beards!
GONE :D

Nice work Simmo!
You have to admire Simmo and a lot of the other young men who give their all in our great game, then go that extra yard for people that need a bit of a leg up!
Some people are just like that and true gentlemen.
Dare I say it... But Captain material. :)
Easily by a country mile. He is leadership in any club, and would be an easy captain at many other clubs IMHO. ;)
