You count the 95 flag :eek: . Every man and his dog knows that was the flag Carlton cheated too. Once a cheater always a cheater. Its safe to assume that at the very least 3 or 4 flags were won on the basis of cheating.
You count the 06 flag :eek: . Every man and his dog knows that was the flag WCE cheated to. Once a cheater always a cheater. Its safe to assume that at the very least 3 or 4 flags were won on the basis of snorting.

So what have you got in the trophy cabinet to commemorate those 70, albeit largely unfruitful, finals appearances?
A history of succes, a history of not tanking and a club full of proud and passionate supporters. Unlike the rest of Victoria...

Collingwood has choked more in Grand Finals than any other team!:D
Sure have...not that I really care how many Grand Finals they lost before I was born. That's just folklore to me.

All I know is that I've seen them win one, get stupily close in another and get humiliated in another one.

Which is a hell of alot more than many other clubs.

Talk to me about flags when your team wins one in your moms lifetime never mind yours.

I have too much to do. Its a shame really only being able to visit my loyal fans once or twice a week but I guess thats all they can expect from a person with such a busy social schedule like me.
Is there anyway to reduce your amount of appearances any further?

I've seen my Victorian team get stupidly close and get humiliated in 3 others and I can tell you it would've been easier if they didn't make it at all.

Just another point I want to make. This obsession has been around for a long time. One of the first examples was the Nick Stevens fiasco. Like a little baby Carlton wanted him simply for the fact Collingwood wanted him too. In the end Carlton got him and hes turned out to be a decent player among there plethora of horrible drafting choices. Since this day I think Carltons obsession has reached its peak and has finally come to poaching there talent in all fields of the game

LOL

If you actually go back and look at the history of it all, Carlton's situation whilst inherently worse, is similar to Collingwoods.

I for one applaud Carlton & Pratt for doing everything they can to rebuild the club rather than just look for AFL handouts constantly.

& the other posters were right ... Carlton's kids are definitly better than the Pies, they certainly haven't copied the Filth's recruiting methods ;)
take murphy and gibbs out of the picture the 2 no 1 draft picks then who have they got

Yeh top idea, lets just ignore all the gun players Collingwood wants, because obviously then we are copying them:rolleyes:

Cameron Cloke is a gun now :eek: . I knew Carlton fans were unintelligent but every day they surprise me with a even dumber comment then the day before. It must be the Victorian water

I assume you mean "cheated too". I must have missed this, how did West Coast cheat to win the flag in '06?

As the old saying goes. If you cant beat them join them. Or in this case If you cant beat them, just try and be them.

Ive watched in interest over the past 6 months as Carlton have tried to copy the club in almost everything they do. Started with them drafting a Cloke and it has continued on today to include there poaching of someone with intelligence for a change in Greg Swan. Whats next guys. Shall ya go for Eddie as president while your at it. :rolleyes:

Carlton have all but admitted what me and you both knew all along. Collingwood is a much better ran, much prouder historically and the much better club in general then Carlton. Now Carlton have realised this it is all about becoming the Collingwood clone. Its a shame to watch Carlton spit on there heritage like that but with fans like theirs its clear that the club history means very little to anyone down there

Deflection Board.

Nothing wrong with that. The Pies off-field model has been terrific. Why not follow it geven where we've come from recently. No good doing otherwise because of ego. Sure WCE would do the same if Freo was in the Pies position and WCE was in ours.

Think this effort of a troll fell extremely flat.

Anyway, how are things at the Eagles right now? They're looking up at Carlton.

Prove that we cheated in 1995. We got done for offences between 1999-2001. Back in 1995, if we were over cap so were just about everyone else. That every man and his dog knows that too.

How are things at the Eagles right now?
