Considering carlton won a final more recently than collingwood maybe you should wait fore more than a good 2-game stretch before trash talking.
Good point. You forgot to mention:
- Collingwood have won a Grand Final more recently than Carlton;
- Collingwood have won a Preliminary Final more recently than Carlton;
- Collingwood have finished in the top 4 seven times since the last time Carlton has finished in the top 4;
- Carlton have 'won' a wooden spoon more recently than Collingwood;

I could go on but it gets boring.... I'm sure you get the point - Carlton have been terrible for a long, long time.

And still are.

We’ve hung around the bottom but Bolts and the club has been very transparent that the entire club is being reset which means a bit of on field pain. At least we know it and have direction.

Collingwood did a weird coaching transition, went backwards every year, picked up players to push them to the top only to miss the finals (again) and lost their mantle as Australia’s biggest club. But because you’ve hit a patch of good form you have the right to try and trash talk despite not even winning a final since 2012.

Collingwood have a long way to go to that ‘too much success’ again.
I'm sorry, but which club is Australia's biggest, and on what basis?

Carlton have played 4 of the top 5 teams on the ladder so perhaps we have just had a tough early schedule and should get some wins against Doggies, Demons & Bombers over the next few weeks.

cara was our real coach last year

dimmer just the puppet

bolton wasn't the real coach at hawkthorn
Bullshit.

There's no way you could really know this unless you're directly involved within the coaching team.

So if you're going to purely go by their assistant coaching roles, Bolton is miles better.
