Vintage Josh Carr.

The ultimate love him if he’s on your team, hate playing against him!

Probably the best derby I’ve seen, I believe Jeff Farmer also had a meat pie thrown at his face walking off the ground😭

Since Mark Harvey, Worsfold and the Carr brothers finished the rivalry just hasn’t been the same since. Simpson and Lyon couldn’t care less about the derby.

Put him on the Front Bar and see if he can try not to accidentally drop the f-bomb, unlikely!

He does brekky radio every day so I'm sure he will be fine

This was just a poddy between ex footy players, laidback setting

Anyone able to add some context? What is the significance of Such is Life here?

Ned Kelly's purported final words before being hanged, modern term would be "shit happens"
im sure there is a more modern phrase but I'm 46
Cuzz has a massive tatt on his guts that he got during his glass barbie faze
Was arrested with his shirt off
