I guess it all comes down to personal preference on what is successful. To me, the ultimate success of a season is winning the premiership. That is success. Anything less can be a bad to very good season, but it wasn't a success.

There isn’t any hope when it comes to Collingwood exiting the finals.
Most of us just sit back with a six-pack and witness the inevitable.
Then 5 minutes later watch as a convoy of shaky Commodores roll on to the casino.

Making finals is a successful season.
Making a GF is a tremendous season.
Winning a GF is the ultimate.
Pies have had more successful seasons than anybody.
I completely disagree, that's just the way it is.
Lets be honest, if we swapped our teams we probably also swap views on this one.
So in 2023, Carlton making finals wouldnt be a successful season?
I can't be bothered with this, are we just going to kiss already? Maybe Fadge can come join in as well.
Yep, you could call premierships the ultimate, but spoons are the pits, the opposite, so you may have 1 more premiership, but you also have 3 more spoons, so by my calculations you are still behind.

You have Simpson as your avatar, the bloke who played in most losses of any player in V/AFL...no surprise you have a weird take on success.
You mean you see the Pies being a participant rather than a contender
"Is that how it works"
Read the OP, the past means little, even though our record over "history" is still in our favour
BTW, I have been around for 8 flags. Much more "enjoyable" than 2
The Arrow hit a sore nerve there.
Not bad.
Did we just participate in 2010, 15 years after Carlton's most recent flag.
See every year, there are 2, 3, 4 or so contenders. The rest of the teams participate.
I understand how you as a Carlton supporter struggle to understand the distinction.
Why is it pathetic? It's actually fact, but keep banging that drum that the Pies have been so dominant over the last 6 decades
As I said, easy to draw a line at any period in time, but generalising that Carlton supporters haven't seen more than 1 flag in their lifetime is laughable
But, given this is about 2023, will be very interesting how both sides perform
Yeah, not sure I generalised.
I stated fact.
27 years since Carlton's last flag, so any posters younger than 30 aren't old enough to have experienced watching their team winning a flag.
And anyone in their 50s has seen 2 Pie flags while the equivalent Carlton supporter has seen 8
But again these facts have nothing to do with 2023

Don’t worry mate, losing a preliminary final is basically the same thing.

Finishing higher or lower is just loser talk to me amongst the 17 losers every year
I'd be disappointed to see Collingwood win another flag before Carlton is how I see things. Of course, I rejoice in Collingwood losses - love them whenever they happen - but especially in a final and by a lone point....that was very nice and actually made up for the last round loss plus some - because in the last round Carlton had most of it s midfield out and Collingwood was at full strength....and only won the game due to umpire error - everyone knows this.
As things stand- here is the ledger: Cartlon 16 Collingwood 15.
