I expect there are plenty of posters here who have more than one identity as well!
If you adopt a "play the post, not the poster" strategy, it probably shouldn't matter. But I still feel there's something quite right about that.

Dorothy Dixer
Def: - The term references American advice columnist Dorothy Dix's reputed practice of making up her own questions to allow her to publish more interesting answers.[2] "Dorothy Dixer" has been used in Australian politics since the 1950s, and has become increasingly common in everyday usage, although the term is now frequently shortened to "Dixer". However, the term is virtually unknown in other countries where Dix's column was equally popular.

Actually, that's suggested a possible new thread - "Get to know my alter ego" - what do you think?
Some people may even have more than one! :o

a game...thats what we needed.
Mick gave his lovechild a retirement pension after Collingwood's medicos failed Daisy and ours passed him???....and now we are stuck with a player who cant kick 30m, cant run and who will get a game every week
due to the large amount of money we are paying him because its too embarassing to have him play for the NB's...
We never learn from our mistakes thats part of the reason we remain down the ladder....
I didnt write the cheques, nor condone the cash. That is another conversation.
I suspect the list of senior players with leadership qualities that antedto come to carlton was a rather short one.

I enjoyed that series very much
However, I'm a little concerned that we may find that some CSC posters don't have one personality, let alone multiples

He was talking about how they are flag favorites and to put that into context, he said "think about the best kid or two on your list. Well GWS have 30 of them".
And there's probably another 20-30 exGWS players on other club's lists.
SOS nailed the strategy for them in a way that GC missed. They should both be pushing for the GF this year but GC got pretty much everything wrong. Draft/trade strategy, culture, facilities, injury management, salary cap management, coach appointments... it's been an epic stuff up which only looks all the worse for GWS success.
Re. expectations for 2017 the Age experts predict that Carlton will push for 7-8 wins this year. I'd sign up for that right now. Our disposal right across the JLT series was wooden spoon stuff. Maybe that will clean up as we come into the season proper but that is the challenge at this point. We were miles off even a basic level of decision making / disposal accuracy.

So much doom and gloom for us in 2017!
Yet we have Murphy back and have added new talent in Marchbank, Pickett (both top 10 draftees with injuries seemingly now behind them and only 20 odd), Palmer (former top 10er who was good enough to play in GWS's PF side), Smedts (former #15 pick who has an almost bizarre injury laden career), SPS (once touted as the best 16yo in the country by a mile), Zac Fisher and the rest of that gang eg Polson, Macreadie (also touted as top 5 till GWS uprooted him) et al. And SOS's cousin.
Then there's blokes like Charlie Curnow, Harry Mc, and even Jacob W. who will begin to shine...
Yet all you MSM soaked sheep say we'll go backwards after a few JLT blow outs.
Shame the f.... on you.

Dude, once we get to the bye, you will either be the exalted one, or your world will coming crashing down around you.
Don't worry, all our crystal balls are from the same $2 shop. Some just slap a Chopard label on them because apparently it makes them more accurate.
MSM soaked sheep - man, that's weird.
