There is more to be learned from a bad performance than a good one. If we donā€™t make mistakes, we never learn from them, and we donā€™t progress.

It is best to learn from the mistakes of Fark Carlton. I have always enjoyed watching them.

do they ban the wearing of thongs? the footwear that is. iā€™m serious btw haha

i see players wearing thongs and think how horrendous they are for your feet, lower legs and canā€™t believe that it still goes on.

Iā€™m not sure tbh - strange question haha

Not sure Luke has any other footwear so heā€™ll be sorted out pretty quickly!

PRE you have a point - I was told by several specialist that thongs are terrible for my feet - was even told not to wear any shoe that doesnā€™t wrap the foot from over the top (and therefore shoes with laces are better).

S_K - itā€™s not just thongs weā€™re worried about. Iā€™m sure you realise that Luke is no longer allowed (by us) to do anything which could possibly hinder his development or cause even a 1 in a million chance of injury.
For example when he comes back home during the breaks no more unloading the dishwasher for Luke as heā€™s a big boy and we donā€™t want him bending down too far. Thatā€™s your job now. Also when you take him to the oval for a kick and he bruises even a toenail you need to carry him home on your back and put him in a moonie straight away. Weā€™re not too worried about your back as youā€™re not playing CHF.
Iā€™m sure your wife can cook but you have to run every ingredient past the clubā€™s nutritionists and you canā€™t deep fry, slow roast or include anything with any fat, taste or fried potato and even breakfast has to include kale. If any of those SA clubs come sniffing around thatā€™s what shotguns are for. Most importantly you are not authorised to keep any club secrets from us as youā€™re a Blitzer now.

ā€œNo more unloading the dishwasherā€ - never been an issue before! We laugh at the irony of Essendon transporting his car over to Melbourne because they donā€™t want him sitting down for 8-10 hours. If only they could see what he does most days :joy:

Our family shares a genuine hatred for the SA based clubs, and the complacency and arrogance of one in particular throughout this last 12 months will not be forgotten. Plus, Iā€™ve got plans for his room, heā€™s not coming home.
