Elliott was a legend in his own mind. When he took over at Carlton, they had just won 3 flags in 4 years & were the best club financially. When he left they were on the bottom & broke. In his time, the club won only 2 flags in 20 years despite having the best resources & the most money.

Yup and a cheat as well. Carlton never recovered from his salary cap cheating.

​@@frankmat And also, John Elliott's plan of expanding Princes Park (Ikon Park for sponsorship reasons) by building a new grandstand where the other three of the Big Four suburban Melbourne clubs in Essendon, Richmond, and Collingwood made more money by playing in larger venues like the MCG, Waverley Park, and the Docklands blew up in his face.

​@@frankmatI'm thankful at least that Carlton doesn't have an asterisk premiership like Essendon in 1993 though. Cheating the cap in a flag year should strip that club of the flag.

RIP John Elliott.

Pigs Arssssseeee!! RIP Jack Elliott

Dearly missed man

Elliott is such a loyal supporter of Carlton.He said he watches it on TV and wouldn't have gone to a game (back then) until they won again. What a great supporter.

I do enjoy listening guys like this talk about the things they did as administrators. Such a massive contributor to Carlton.

Legend of Carlton always

Sad the way he ended up. RIP Uncle Jack.

He is correct , Ian Collins and the AFL stuffed up by closing Princess Park. Now they are trying to build a $35,000 seat boutique ground for Victoriain clubs to play the small interstate sides. Most teams are not keen to play home games I Geelong despite how go the stadium is. Big Jack is wrong on some tho he, but 100% correct here

Problem is, the Vic Government were never willing to play ball on the transport infrastructure needed.

John Elliott was killed off by the corporate product that now runs the game.

Legend!!!

The symbol of a successful Carlton 🔵🔵🔵

Storm had to hand back two flags for salary cap breaches. Why did the blues get to hold onto that ‘95 flag, seriously

carlton are a dinosaur of a club, only won premierships when their was no salary cap. 25 years without a flag.

Eliot reckons Johnny Worsfold would be his best choice for a coach??? 😂😂😂😂 Good one Johnny, always such a wonderful judge of character.

He should be Australia's Governor General

Wow he was duped, how could that be after he dealt with others in such a highly moral way

16:10 how do you know you would’ve won that case

Elliot had no idea

Elliot should look back on this. lol Mostly wrong

Carlton are a tragic club

A remarkable football character, but given his management of both his business and personal finance Australia dodged a bullet that would have been dispensed by The Liberals if he had become Prime Minister. (Not that we've been that much better off under Gillard, Abbott and what fires, global warming I'm on holidays Morrison. )

@@angusyates828 if he was a friend or an acquaintance then I'm sorry for your loss Angus. I cannot speak for his commitment to friends and family as I was neither but in both both business and as a President of the CFC he was found lacking on both counts. I believe that there were issues with his governance and admin all the way back to the 80s when he was involved in CUB. That's a fair track record of dishonesty and corruption neither of which can be attributed to mistakes. And you are right in regard to the recent quality of our politicians (I vote for the best party at the time imo - ie swing) Latham, Gillard, Abbott, Morrision pathetic, on a state level what a disgrace when a former NSW Premier answers "I dont remember 100s of times" during form proceedings! But we get who we vote for and I'm glad we didn't get Elliott!
