Why learn to read and write when you can just look at gifs.

Children of the revolution.

Correct…we are making life easier for you and your mates.
You’re welcome.

"Losing Charlie was the last straw, I'm switching to the powerhouse Pies, f* you mum and dad"

Who are you quoting? Your imagination?

 

[Corn Cobbers]

I heard they were 15,000 down on last year.

Corny and I must have different sources.

What is that, a 20% drop? They're in free-fall, at that rate they'll have less than 50,000 members in 2030

Well, that would be typical - that the dregs of society would be drawn to the collingwood football club if they had to choose a club to support. I hear they they are happy take on all sorts of misfits and it clearly shows on game day as well

Kids who have been forced into supporting Carlton by their parents are the dregs of society?

Classy post.

They will be lucky to be around in 2030.

Its ok to admit that your supporter base is full of different units. Point in question - the poster i am responding to

Of course.

When your club has more supporters than any other club in the competition, you're going to have a broader range of demographics.

But that's still no excuse for calling Carlton supporting kids the dregs of society.

Disgraceful behaviour from you. But I wouldn't expect anything different.

 

[Cyclops]

Too much disharmony here, we should rally together.

I propose we support each other's clubs this year.

Not when we play each other, that would be silly.

But all other games we get behind one another's team.

The argument against is "ew don't like it", weak, low energy.

The argument for it is the horror other posters would feel. The tidal wave of mass support.

From a Pie perspective we need Carlton to be stronger. Our great rival, mid table cruisers doing more damage to themselves than any opponent does.

So, in the spirit of collegiality, ill go first.

CARNA B...

ahem.

CARNA BL...

[wipes forehead]

[grits teeth]

CARN BLUhhhh

...ok sorry. Bad idea.

I do admire your effort.

How about 3 premieships in the last 6 decades while Carlton has won 8. Do you know what constant means?

why pick 6 decades ? A completely arbitrary metric just to make Carl look good. LOL so predictable.

 

[No SPIN]

We've got the same amount of premierships as the Pies who are a constant powerhouse.

a powerhouse is a team that keeps contending making top 4, Prelims and also winning flags.
Only a Carl supporters embarrassed by their teams failure tries " oh oh oh but we have the same number of flags".

 

[No SPIN]

The Collingwood coach is heading straight onwards for that cliff mate. Don't say you lot weren't warned when it eventually happens!

Hmm for a guy that's been watching his team falling over cliffs for 20 years you at least have some credibility.

Hey Wormy, you might be able to help me. I came across an incredible claim the other day. Apparently Carlton used to be a really successful football club. Is the claim true? It seems unbelievable. Astonishing really.

 

[LeBronco]

To put things into perspective for those sticking the boots into Carlton about their membership numbers there is another big 4 club who are worse off in the membership department.

Current membership tally for 2026
Carlton 77,255
Essendon 57,602

I see you never got a reply mate, says it all.

You're in no position to say what's classy and what's not.

At least i don't barrack for Essendon.

Count our flags and then count yours, focus on the last 6 decades. That was the poorest attempt at comedy seen anywhere.

No one clearly remembers Carlton being good

Analog, grainy memories of an ancient past

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

A you new here mate lol.

He seems to pop by every now and again. I call him (or her) one of the special guest Collingwood trolls.

Oh it makes a change from Fudgey and the usual suspects. It's no harm to have some new voices and fresh ideas on the thread.

Doesn't matter we still have 16 reminders in our cabinet same as the Pies.

They do give out free beer, dentures and cigarettes to every person who buys a membership apparently.
