Collins

[Jofo]

Is it time to point out that Collo was in fact in charge when some of the brown paper bags were organised and distributed?

After leaving Carlton he went to work for the AFL. To engratiate himself with the AFL and show no allegiance to his former club, he pointed the finger at us and pointed out that we cheating the cap. How did he know? He set it up!

In any event, the point about Collins is this.

When someone presents you with your jumper you are supposed to be humbled, thrilled and look up to the person and one day hopefully emulate what they have been able to achieve.
Do we expect the kids to be able to distinguish 'collo the player', from 'collo the administrator' or even president?

Its like telling the kids to look up to fev. Sure, on the field he was (usually) very good. However, off field he was not what you'd call a role model over his career.

I don't know of any other 100 game number 19s who would be available to present the jumper. Eddie is otherwise occupied and (I think) John O'Connell passed away.
