[@roostersbays95]

im a Glenelg and North Adelaide lifer....always had RESPECT for Mr Elliott

[@terrycarthy4433]

Spent a fortune developing Princes Park with no guarantee Princes Park would have any sorta' future in the AFL .This has never been explained !

[@savascolakoglu7835]

....good on ya Jack... thanks for the memories..

[@frankt7769]

Legend of Carlton always

[@RobKieranz]

A great character.. So entertaining

[@angusyates828]

Sad the way he ended up. RIP Uncle Jack.

[@warrenjones4407]

Pigs Arssssseeee!! RIP Jack Elliott

[@brettbrett9973]

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.

​@user-gu4tv4hp6show many countries you twit🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@1codeking]

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

[@darrenhorne4293]

Dearly missed man

[@allisonhughes4348]

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

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

What a true Aussie gentleman. Princess Park was the way forward. Not Docklands.

[@sentimentalbloke185]

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.

[@frankmat]

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

[@joesakic91]

​@@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.

[@wades9327]

​@@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.

[@ENDWOKEDEGENERACY]

Pigs arse

[@AbsolutelyEverybody1]

Plus he was arrogant. His way or no other way and his way was in his mind the only way..the best way. He didn't want to get with the times of a modernised AFL competition/system

[@MichaelJames-rt2vd]

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

[@wades9327]

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

[@PedroThai]

a mans man RIP Jack

[@BenNationAus]

thanks for posting, wish it would of went for 3 hours... great Australian icon

[@anitacozma2550]

RIP John Elliott.

[@mattl9831]

Turd of a human.

[@kindregardless]

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

[@zanea6307]

The symbol of a successful Carlton 🔵🔵🔵

[@rationalroman3705]

Legend!!!

[@267BISMARK]

"I lost 20 million, but I'm not broke".

[@sweetcell8767]

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

[@tiborsol6376]

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

[@konzaros7482]

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

[@Thediamondduck11]

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

[@travispoorter8654]

60 million and can’t afford to Jetset around the world 😂

[@jimhallam8749]

you are kidding

[@brettbrett9973]

Elliot had no idea

[@brettbrett9973]

Elliot should look back on this. lol Mostly wrong

[@chrisferguson237]

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]

Don't know about that. He would've been a good PM, honest at least.

[@chrisferguson237]

@@angusyates828 He was not an honest individual! Look at what happened at Carlton and he is an excerpt regarding how he ran his business, both show he was an individual of dubious qualities .... businessman John Elliott faces a ban from corporate life and claims for millions of dollars in penalties, compensation and legal costs after being found guilty of letting a company trade while it was insolvent.

[@angusyates828]

@@chrisferguson237 Couldn't be any worse than Danny boy. Our beloved Premier the paradigm of virtue-not.

[@angusyates828]

@@chrisferguson237 He made mistakes yes but having known him he was not a dishonest individual. Anyway what politician has integrity and lacks hypocrisy. Dan Andrews underhand, sanctimonious and hypocritical behaviour while premier of Vic hardly heralds him as the paradigm of virtue he purports himself to be. At least with Jack what you see is what you get. Or Got.

[@chrisferguson237]

@@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!

[@brettbrett9973]

Dumped them when weak. He left them in a terrible spot and never recovered. Blokes like this should not be involved with footy.

[@MrMagicmatt05]

They dumped him.

[@abeparsons7914]

What a grub

[@pillwolak]

John thought Carlton was bigger than the game. Its completely destroyed Carlton for the next 2 decades

[@shanegriffin8682]

Carlton still have the most premierships along with Essendon though. I reckon we'll win number 17 before the Bombers do as well.

[@woodsmen9844]

@@shanegriffin8682Now Collingwood has levelled the premiership tally with Carlton and Essendon.

[@KleosAu]

He single-handedly destroyed Carlton football club with his cheating, Thank you from all Collingwood supporters :)

[@JJ-wi2uw]

Yep ... I never got to thank him personally for his stupidity and hubris.

[@shanegriffin8682]

I'm still thanking Eddie McGuire for forcing Mick Malthouse out, and ruining your chances of having a dynasty team. Collingwood have played in twenty two Grand Finals since 1936, and you've only won a grand total of four.

[@KleosAu]

@@shanegriffin8682 True mate but yesterdays win over the filth was pretty special.

[@shanegriffin8682]

@@KleosAu Absolutely i have family who barrack for the Pies, and i've been hearing all about it alright! I find Carltons rivalry with Essendon to have a way more nasty edge. With Collingwood while i dislike them, i have more hatred for the Bombers than i do the Pies. John Elliot was a very flawed person, but he was a very passionate Carlton man. Him and Eddie McGuire were great friend as well.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Met him down in Hobart in 2015 at the Salamanca markets at a local cafe. Tried to cut the line in front of me. Total flog.
