Please. The Saints have been a juggernaut compared to Carlton this century
Did Carlton made the right decision choosing Voss over Ross?

For all the Carlton fans gloating how much better than St.Kilda they are:
Fitzroy (1979 - 1996): 156 wins, 236 losses, 39% winning percentage, 3 wooden spoons
St.Kilda (1975 - 1992): 122 wins, 269 losses, 31% winning percentage, 7 wooden spoons
Carlton (2002 – 2019): 128 wins, 259 losses, 32% winning percentage, 5 wooden spoons
Since then you are 42-44-1, including two winning finals.
So congratulations to Carlton on making it back to being plain average after 2 decades of being one of the 3 or 4 most irrelevant and pathetic teams in history. Can see how getting on a roll for a few weeks at the end of a year must feel really good.
For all the talk about Carltons great list / being a flag chance in 24, they won the same amount of games last year as St.Kilda (who never dropped lower than 6th all year) while rolling out an older team
And like most people approaching middle age, I cant remember any St.Kilda or Carlton flags either!

At least we didn't swap jumpers during our flag wins, always confusing when you see a St Kilda player wearing a Collingwood top carrying the cup.
How would you know? Half your cups came before TV even arrived in Australia.
And only 1 since it became the actual AFL. Hell about 6 out of every 7 players on the Carlton list weren't even alive for the last one.
Fortunately for us the world existed prior to the 1990's, with the magic of archival footage, old newspaper snippets and the like!
It's a better strike rate of 1 in over 100 years. You're the last club to call anyone pathetic.
Does the state library microfilm of newspapers go back to most of Carltons flags?
Must be a real party in the basement archives staring at one single black and white photo from 1907. Do you have to register ahead when you want to see it to make sure there aren't too many people already there?
Your one thing of note was tarnished by swapping jumpers, so the one-defining feature that is etched into history forever is ruined.
But I guess that's okay for a club with a 1:27 premiership to spoon ratio.
The only stat you need to know -
Carlton 156
St kilda 42
( oh, and came back to us when you witness a st kilda win against the blues in a final, coz it's never happened, ever )

Answer -yes. With Brian Cook in charge they also made an even better decision. Stare down the naysayers and stick with Voss when the heat on the coach was at its height in 2023. Good decisions like that can be the making of a club.
Finished 3rd won two finals and we're just plain average, so is your judgement.
He read me good"Did Carlton made".
No I’m not but I’m not but given you’re dodging my question with a question, I’m going to assume you’ve seen as many flags from your mob as I have.

Carlton’s youngest living Premiership player turns 49 this year. Vossy better deliver soon as Carlton are quickly running out of living Premiership players. Saints, well that is a different matter.
What about if we are older and been around for 8 flags, does that count?

And I suggest they have every right to as their coach is an AFL Premiership coach. Voss hasn’t even won a Preliminary Final.

It was never a Ross vs Voss thing, Ross refused to sit for an interview. I thanked him for that at the time, whatever happens with Voss, we dodged a bullet with Ross. Never wanted him, never want to see him coaching my club.

Not really because those paper bags are now 29 years old.

Every Club did the same thing, I'll leave it at that.
