    A trip to the In-Laws v Receiving the flag

    A trip to the In-Laws v Receiving the flag

    WHEN is a day trip with your in-laws an attractive option? When the alternative is a date with Andrew Demetriou.
    And you can't find nothing at all,
    If there was nothing there all along.

    Good on Paul Roos - deliberate or not, I hope it sends a message to that idiot megolamaniac Demetriou.

      "I don't think it's a fundamental part of the agenda," Colless said. "Anyway we've moved on and the ceremony is going to be all about love, peace, goodwill ... all that stuff.

          I think its getting tiresome and counter-productive to keep making an issue of Demetriau vs Swans. I don't think there's any benefit in the short or long term for Sydney - we won the flag so lets get on with it.

          Unlike others, I am not rushing to confur sainthood on Colless.

            I tend to agree with the view that this is whole issue is overdone and an apology is expected.

              Sounds like something the Carlton president would say.

              On the other hand, smashing the plates saves having to do the washing up.

                "At least 200 past players will turn out for the occasion, but the footballers who won it will be bunkered down in the rooms concentrating on getting their first four points of the season."

                I'm hoping this is not the case.

                1. It is a huge tradition for the players to witness the flag raising. Couldn't the players come out for their pre-run-on warm up spend a whole 5 mins lining up and witnessing the flag raising and then get back into their routine????

                2. The players deserve to be honoured as receiving the flag. With the greatest respect to all the past players, it's about the list that acheived the 2006 premiership, they should be there to receive the flag. I'm sure most are familiar with the photo of the players watching the flag raising in '33, would be great to recreate that on Sunday.

                  I don't believe so. It's a scheduled press conference.
                  And you can't find nothing at all,

                    Ahh ok cheers

                    As for the whole Colless vs Vlad thing, all said very much tounge in cheek.
                    That being said Vlad set the ball rolling but won't admit he is was wrong.

                      From seeing it on TV before I always thought that the flag was raised just before the game when both teams were on the ground.

                          The Carlton President would more likely say 'There is no conflict of interest with me speaking with Andrew Demetriou...I won't even be in the same room'.

                            That is correct, if we do it the same as all the other clubs have doen before, the players and coach will miss the build up to the raising of the flag but will then run out and stand as one to see it raised for the first time.
