The Issues of Phil Carman, Grim Details Revealed…

#afl #australianfootball #philcarmen
Phil Carman wasn't just another player; he was seen as a superstar in the making. But while fans might have thought of him as the most thrilling player they'd seen in decades, there was a major catch- he was prone to serious trouble, his temper tantrums nearly costing him his entire career!

Pure head case, saw him years after he retired at a club event at Vic Park, all he talked about was hitting people, his eyes would light up when talked about it, he seemed oblivious to the fact that it had cost him his career and a premiership.

Fabulous Phil. Oh and the pic at 0.47 is Max Richardson ( Pies captain in 77 )

[@simplesimon4717]

He cost Collingwood the flag in 77!

[@ideaphile]

For that alone we all love him.

[@Magpie_Mark92]

They still should've won without him

[@robdowsing3361]

The VFL in the seventies .

I didn't like Tom Hafey for getting rid of him at the end of 78 it cost us 79 80 81

[@sentimentalbloke185]

Hafey had a big clear out at the end of '78, moved on Len Thompson & Max Richardson as well. They were great players who were ageing but often went missing in big finals matches.

[@user-xp9ce1vw5p]

Not securing Quinlan from footscray to replace Phil late 1978, was an even bigger fuck up from our inept board

[@robdowsing3361]

Should have stayed in SA😂
