Hungry? Then you’re best served making the trek to Ikon Park on the eve of the Carlton-Richmond March 24 season opener, when former Tiger Kevin Bartlett turns the snags at a free sausage sizzle for paid-up Members.
 
For the 403-game former Richmond great turned SEN presenter, this is the price to be paid for having the temerity to suggest Carlton would be unable to attract more than 100 new members on this the club’s Membership day held in conjunction with the radio station.
 
As Bartlett trumpeted to camera in a message to the dark Navy Blue faithful;
 
“I fear for the existence of the Carlton Football Club and I feel in future that if you don’t get behind your club you’ll be shunted off to Tasmania where Brendon Bolton the coach comes from . . . so what I’m going to do is lay down the challenge. If you can buy 100 memberships today during my program, I will shout you a barbecue down at Ikon Park.”

Around 270 Carlton fans to a man, woman and child responded to “KB’s” moment of madness, affording the old No.29 no wiggle room.
 
So he’ll be turning the snags complete with chef’s hat, apron and tongs on Wednesday, March 23. Further details soon.
