When I started following Carlton, we won 3 flags in 4 years, 4 in 9 and made finals 10 years straight.
Carlton made the finals, that was the top five from 1978 to 1988.
11 years straight. I assume your first season was 1979 ( to make it 10) which was a damn good year to get on board.
Actually any year from 1968 to 1979 would have been a good year to get on board. I actually got no idea why I chose Carlton myself. Think I just loved the jumper the most as a little kid.
Any supporters that been with Carlton since any of these periods have indeed been blessed.
I feel for players like Walker and Simpson that been players in the darkest part of our history but really special effort to be one club players.
2011 was the season they would have experienced closest to being in a grand final. I think if Waite, Gibbs and Kruezer had been out there for finals footy in week 2 of 2011 , Walks would have got to experience Carlton in a grand final a few weeks later. He probably should have got a free in dying minutes in the final in Perth but them the breaks. Would have been in preliminary final although even with other players back still feel we were a star player or two short of a premier team in 2011.
