Toby Mitchell and him dont even compare as being a similar level of delinquent either.
Edelston and Carlton go hand in hand Thry, you may have not noticed but plenty of others have - the guy is everywhere - at our functions, games, you name it. I once thought I was very lucky when taken to a CFC presidents lunch a few years ago but guess who was on the same table. He has becone, unfortunately, synonymous with the Carlton brand but he's not exactly had a stellar run as a solid citizen.
We need to pick our friends more carefully. We just don't need that kind of association, especially in the public eye, and now it's really biting us in terms of providing lampooning material - reinforcing us as some kind of caricature of 1980s excess, a place where the flotsam and jetsam of that era washes up. Why would talented players want to join such an outfit?
Reality always wins in the end.
