I don't think so.We have to be very careful mocking Carlton when we could be on the same trajectory.
We last made a prelim in 2015, minor premiers that year. Yes, it's been six years. They last played finals in 2013 and didn't even earn that one since Essendon was relegated to 9th.
Since we last made finals one of the two sides has won +27% more games than the other.... and it's not Carlton winning more.
If we expand it to measure even to even, they last made a prelim in 2000 I believe. Then unrelated entirely they are punished for cheating the salary cap..
Then if we think of the always awesome Essendon, do you know when they last won a final? 2004. I think there are only two current AFL players who are around from that time and we have one of them.
We aren't in a comparable position at all.
