What (sort-of) rhymes with Elliott?

Would that be … IDIOT?

Today’s Herald Sun confirms what I suggested might happen in the post I wrote on 21/6/09 ‘John Elliott: Big Mouth, small brain’:

John Elliott will be questioned by police and could lose his Carlton membership over claims hush money was paid to alleged rape victims.

The former Blues boss will be quizzed as early as Thursday. Mr Elliott, 67, could face charges of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice if found to be involved in paying off alleged sexual assault victims.

Sometimes you just get things right. I think I’ll give myself a Gold Star.

    Admiral Noobius. The man who Turned Me against the Blues. Geenius. As you know Ray, I’m a Swans fan, but I for a long time had a big soft spot for Carlton.

    I studied at Melbourne Uni, knew buggers who played for the Uni Blues and Blacks (the two surest direct pipelines to Carlton back in the 70s) etc. Also I liked the kind of football they played in those days.

    I guess for me the change started when they stole Greg Williams. You have to wonder what might have been had the Swanners still had Greg in the middle in 1996.

    Now? I’m a Carlton hater. Like so many others. I take a cheap pleasure in contemplating whether Juddy understands yet that he has played in his last Premiership.

    Sad really.

    You know, when you have a look at that photo…he looks a lot like you Ray!

    You’re not the prozzy love child of Big John are you?

    I always disliked him, but I didn’t realise he was so embarrassingly stupid as he has been. Still, this last week or so has shown that all sorts of people are stupider than you realised.

    I used to be a Carlton fan too. I wonder how many people, like Elliott, have put fans off their clubs? Geoffrey Edelsten, Eddie Everywhere, etc.

    I can profess not to give a stuff about Carlton. Just another team in the AFL to make up numbers. Remember there are only two teams in the AFL, Geelong and not Geelong.

    As for Elliot, the recent events hardly surprise me. I always thought he had a rather unnatural predilection towards swine derrieres.

    But in all seriousness, another one of these wealthy pseudo ocker types, a misogynist who because of previous delusions to grandeur has the gumption to speak his mind, because he thinks people either want to hear him or worse, thinks people need to hear him. Scarier still, there are a few out there that do and believe his sick rantings.

    Careful now, Ray, or your hat will have to be replaced with the next size up. Are you seriously into this for the medals and not the cash?

    Baldrick, nuff said.

    I’m in it for the groupies.

    There’s no ’swine’ in my genes, Bertus.

    Being a loaded Liberal Party-supporting Carlton fan is a sweet life. It doesn’t matter if you’re crooked, stupid, ugly, or a pig, you can still be loved by thousands.
