I was discussing the CFC with my sister this morning, who is a life long and passionate Blue, and she hasn't got a good word to say about him.
Its a Collingwood hatred thing I reckon. I know half a dozen Blues supporters who carried on like pork chops when we drafted MGuane, got Malthouse, Swann and the same with Daisy. They just hated the fact we got Filth people into our Club. Personally, I have always had respect for them. My best mate as a kid was a Filth supported and his parents took me to many Coll games. I love the Coll-Carl rivalry, I reckon its the best in he AFL. The Scum on the other hand, always despised them, always will.

Melbourne will have a bit of extra incentive with the North loss.

I grew up in Pascoe Vale, nearly all of the local kids barracked for Essendon and I saw plenty of games at Windy Hill, nevertheless I hate them as much as you do.
My sister's neighbour in North Carlton was a bloke called Norm Crewther who played for Collingwood before the war until he did his knee, he was a lovely bloke and I remember him telling me that the hatred between Carlton and Collingwood was all between the supporters and that the players got along fine both on and off the ground.
Even today I think Daisy and Murph have been mates for a good while, well before Daisy came to Carlton.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

I suspect if some club folk were asked they would say we benefitted alot from the services of Thomas. He is a very professional player that experienced success. In the shambles that he came to, we shouldn't underestimate the influence such a player could have had.
Yes he has not played that much, but in the working week, playing time is two hours. I recall malthouse saying how important nick duigan was to the club despite not being able to take the field.
