Some Saturday Night Live fans might recall the John Belushi skit 'The Thing that would not Leave'. Belushi would excel as the overbearing house guest that outstayed his welcome and much comedy ensued. It is a similar situation at the Carlton Football Club who have provided many comedic moments during the off-season.

The smartest President in the AFL, Steve Kernahan is displaying his committment to recycling.....by luring old Crony Jack Elliot back to the Bluebaggers? The very same Jack Elliot who wasn't even on speaking terms with Sticks a few short weeks back?
Sure, they were 'only having lunch' but you wouldn't put it past Carlton to let Jack back in...he is Carlton's THING THAT WOULD NOT LEAVE.

Surely they won't???

Not sure about that but they must be wary of Elliot being involved in any capacity. During his time there the club had a lot of success of which he was involved in directly. However, he will always be remembered as the bloke that stuffed up and the club suffered for it.
Now it is a new era with an exciting list that is young and will be competitive for a number of seasons to come. As a club member I would be disappointed if the club had any involvement with Elliott again, seriously what has he got to offer?

Your last sentence supports my assertion.

The president sets the compass for the club. David Smorgon, Frank Costa and, dare I say, Eddie McGuire lead the way in this respect.
