JLT Game 2

[LP]

From memory, didn't we lose by 100pts to Essendon pre-season in 1995?

I think that's true, but the current list doesn't look like this!

Foll: Justin Madden Craig Bradley Fraser Brown
Int: Scott Camporeale Adrian Whitehead Glenn Manton

Most of them were permitted an easy pre-season, they had very little to prove.

Think of who missed out in that GF, Mitchell, Gleeson, O'Sullivan, Allan, Beaumont, De Iulio, Bond, Heaver.

Fraser probably would have cleaned up half the current list just to get them out of his way!

I remember Parkin after the 1999 Grand Final, he said something like Fraser Brown had nothing left to give and probably should not have played. But Fraser gave Carlton the greatest gift of all in the Preliminary Final. FWIW, it should feature on the Carlton website as a reminder to all those who choose to cruise. It's probably true, Fraser's tank was probably empty, but he never made the decision to cruise in that PF, as John Kennedy said he chose to "just do something!"
