Dear MBH,
I would like to sincerely apologise to all the Carlton Supporters out there. I have come to realise that the recent slump in Carlton's form is all due to me.
It all started after the magnificent win over South. Somehow during the following week someone, no doubt a disgruntled Smellas fan, stole my lucky skivvy. Now this is no ordinary skivvy, this magnificent piece of cotton has seen hundreds of Carlton AFL games and has been a regular at all Carlton Soccer matches this season. That was up until that fateful week. Ever since it was stolen we have drawn against two mediocre teams and lost at Woollongong.
Now you may think that our form slump is due to the pathetic return from our strikers and ridiculous tactic of lobbing the ball to the opposition keeper. This is infact untrue. If my skivvy had not been STOLEN I am sure we would be well clear on top of the table.
This skivvy has seen so much action and is so worn out that it is as see through as Souths attempts to be multi-cultural. My lucky green skivvy is so holey that it goes to church. It was not thrown out by my mother when it fell apart in the wash, as some would have you believe. It is all a lie, they stole it and used it in Brazil so they wouldn't get their arses whipped. How else do you explain them only losing by two goals. It is not as though they are a good team. God Canberra drew with them.
Now I wish to inform everyone out there that I have found a new lucky skivvy that WILL NOT BE STOLEN. It is going to take us all the way. It will be in use as of tonight against the Spirit. (I hope that by the time you all read it in a few weeks we are back on track.)
Please accept my apology. I will be more security conscious in the future.
Yours Sincerely,
Trumper.PS. It is now Tuesday February 8th and I am just revising this letter of apology to
PPS. Bus trip down to Gippy was great. BUS TRIP BACK WAS BETTER.
