I have had a good relationship with Cain during his time with us, good bloke & good operator.

Peggy was trying to shut him down, but he said "I've come all the way from Sydney so let me speak", then thought his points were so important that he got up with his points, in writing, and handed them to Peggy
embarrassing and used up half of question time.What about the guy that got up said "I want to ask Benny a question", and when handed the Mic siad, "why do we keep losing?" Benny looked totally bemused but then grabbed the mic and said "I ask Damien Hardwick the same question all the time", the room was in hysterics, not the least Dimma, sadly the guy was serious
Happens every bloody year more nuff nuff questions than enlightening ones.

crows fans will still remind you of the free kick he should have got prior to half time that would have changed the game
stand by though coz everyone will be talking up Carlton next year (including Carlton themsleves). I have a feeling R1 2020 could be the Ben Cousins game in reverse.
I'm guessing we will be vulnerable early because of our recent tact to start the season slowly and then warm into it, but also because defensive structures are the last thing to fall into place for any team.
Look at Sydney's record when they were powerful. They always started bad. Also look at how the AFL alwaysd gloats about the improved scoring in the new season before it all falls away and the Tige's start holding teams goalless to the time on period of the 3rd term.
Having said that, i'd love us to string a massive start together and break the consecutive wins record, but i wouldn't love that more than having 3 flags in 4 years.

Didn't think we started off slow last year. Beat Blues easily. 2nd round against Collingwood was poor but they're a good side and in that side we had Weller, KMac, Higgins, Butler, Markov, 3rd round against GWS at their ground, another good side, we added Garthwaite and Balta to that team. Then we won 6 of the next 7 before injury ravaged us. We were in 4th spot on the ladder after 10 rounds. In 2018 we were 2nd after 10 rounds (8 and 2).
First 4 rounds in 2020 are Carlton, Colingwood, Adelaide and St Kilda. Good chance of winning at least 3 of those. Next 6 West Coast, Melbourne, GWS, Brisbane, Geelong, Essendon. Harder but 4 wins out of those should give us our 7-3 start.

What "losing" was the guy referring to?
To be fair, that question would have received a standing ovation every year for 35 years. He must have been doing a Rip Van Winkle for the last three years.
Was it Zips?Peggy was trying to shut him down, but he said "I've come all the way from Sydney so let me speak", then thought his points were so important that he got up with his points, in writing, and handed them to Peggy

Doubt it.
The guy had the capability to hold a microphone and speak with out sluring his words. Plus the guys pants were clean. No sprinkles of *smile* down the side of the legs.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
They have another Silvagni coming in 2020. Or did they dump Steve to ensure No. 3 didn't end up on the Carlton Benefits Plan?
Of note the drinking incident happened back on November 23-24.
SOS was moved on shortly afterwards...
Oh to have been a fly on the wall.

Not as crazy as it sounds. I reckon this played a strong factor. They're just not that good to take up 3 spots on their list.
Is this another “Cloke” drafting situation?
Have to take the first two crap ones to get the good one?

I would've asked
You cant let them get complacent.
Why didn't we get over 5 million in profit?
Why did we allow GWS to score?
Why aren't we cloning Cotchin?
What is this club doing??
