Unofficial Preview 2019 AFL Grand Final: Carlton v Adelaide: Banter Thread: Carlton Supporters Welcome...

[My name geoff]

Hilarious hearing Carlton supporters criticizing our lack of success.

Carlton have had ONE top 4 finish since 1995!

We have had more recent grand final wins, more grand final wins, more recent grand final appearances, more grand final appearances, more finals appearances, more prelim appearances, more minor premierships, more top 4 finishes, and an overall higher win percentage since Carlton's last flag.

In that period we are undoubtedly more successful by such a massive margin it's idiotic to criticize us for success

We’re not criticising your lack of success, we are criticising the fact that you think you are successful.

You are delusional, that’s what we are criticising. Get it?

 

[dogs105]

How much do you want to bet on that?

Not Collingwood or Geelong? Sounds legit...

 

[Smoooothy]

We were premiership favourites during 2012 with that list

wut??

 

[jezzajay]

Richard Douglas
James Sellar
Patrick Dangerfield
Phil Davis
John Meesen
Daniel Talia


Most of them f’ed off to other clubs. Danger played some good footy here though. Talia and Douglas both won best and fairests.

Still waiting...
Out of that list you provided of Carlton players there are bnf winners, coleman medallist, AFLCA winner etc etc...

When they blow the siren to start Saturdays game, the scores will be nil all.

There's delusion and then there's some of this in here. Holy wow, my eyes.

I know, cow supporters should have a long hard think before typing.

Yes it was a thing you know...but according to everyone from the paddock...we've been nothing for decades. So if we've done nothing for two decades....so have you....

AFL flag favouritism suits confident Blues

Carlton coach Brett Ratten says AFL premiership favouritism sits comfortably with his maturing Blues.

According to your own supporters he was on a massively front loaded deal at Carlton.

So he's more than likely getting more than he was at the end of his deal at Carlton, but the overall figure must be lower because Walker publicly stated that Gibbs is getting paid less at Adelaide.

While that may be true - Colin Young also declares that his client (McGovern) was earning similar money than he was at Crows but that has stopped the perception that we are paying him a million bucks.

Wow - those are some accolades!!

Your trophy cabinet must be bursting at the brim with all of those finals appearances.

The AFL should start humouring the Crows and hand out finalist participation awards. That will attract the big fish!!

Where did anyone here say we are successful?

We are more successful than Carlton. That's what we are saying.

We've added more to our trophy cabinet since 1995 than Carlton.

Actually that might be a lie. Do they give out trophies for wooden spoons?

Yeah it's like saying Port Adelaide were premiership favorites - only if you were a moron who doesn't watch the games.

People who actually follow the football did not have Carlton as premiership favorites in 2012:

2012 Predictions

1. Hawthorn 2. West Coast 3. Collingwood 4. North Melbourne 5. Carlton 6. Geelong 7. Fremantle 8. Richmond 9. Sydney 10. Brisbane 11. Melbourne 12. Gold Coast 13. Essendon 14. Adelaide 15. Western Bulldogs 16. Port Adelaide 17. St Kilda 18. GWS NAB Cup - Collingwood Premiership - West Coast...

during this millennium - we’ve both only added two preseason cups.

For all of your bravado, you have nothing tangible to show for it, so don’t fall from that high horse now.

If we're counting pre-season cups can we count our 2x McLelland Trophies, 1x AFLX trophy and 2x AFLW premierships?

You guys can add your 5x Wooden Spoons

Also make sure you include the amount of times your Auskick kids won during half time!

We were premiership favourites during 2012 with that list, but we ended up missing the finals that year (due to injury) and sacked our coach in the same season. We were expected to improve on our 2011 season and ended up going backwards, this was unacceptable. Generally, we look at any point in time where we appear to be going backwards as a time for change, regardless of past performance. Our weakness is we demand success at any cost.

The crows on the other hand accept coaches who refuse to drop embarrassingly soft players like Walker, Mckay, Atkins, embarrassing defeats, embarrassing grand final performances followed by missing finals with old lists and their jobs are safe as houses. Going backwards year on year is not just tolerated, but the fans are the ones making all the excuses!

Carlton have balls, we just needed to find the right formula in this heavily manipulated competition. The crows are meek, they play it safe and just hope the competition weakens at some point so their middling club can poke its head up at the right time a hopefully stumble on some success

what does this mean in practice? Yeah if carlton aren't winning flags, they will likely be bottom. High risk, high reward and demanding of success is generally embraced at our club.

The crows? well they are more than likely going to be the safe club hovering around the middle of the ladder. But at least the powers that be are happy with membership numbers

What a load of unmitigated tripe. High risk, high reward. BAHAHAHAHA. Dude. Where’s the bloody reward?

See, that’s how far off the mark you are.

Carlton were premiership favourites in 2012 and sacked the coach during the year. We made a semi final in 2013 missed the finals in 2014 then sacked the coach early 2015. We then started a rebuild late in 2015.

This narrative that Carlton has been bottom for the last 10 years is wrong. We fail quickly then start again until we find the right formula for SUCCESS.

2015-2019 was the rebuild. We can now look forward to this for the next 8 -10 years:

Williamson Weitering Docherty
Stocker Marchbank Plowman
O’Brien Cripps Setterfield
Silvagni Curnow Fisher
Kennedy Mckay McGovern

Dekkning Dow Walsh

Gibbons Cuningham Lang Deluca Macreadie Silvagni Cottrell Owies Goddard

How many Auskick kids winning at half time equates to an AFLX trophy?
