Wouldn't that be awful, simply awful.What about in round 20 last year when they were playing to stay in the finals and we were playing to stay off the bottom... did that mean more to us also? We won that one too Clarko. Quote Selected

I feel very sorry for Roughy as he is still a young man and I wish him well. Quote Selected

Clarko is currently leading his club towards either a successful rebuild via trade or a half-baked attempted shortcut. Either way it's nothing like what Carlton are doing. Quote Selected
