As time has passed everyone seems to have forgotten the underlining purpose of Collingwood and Carlton. They exist to beat each other, this has been so since the beginning of the VFL/AFL. Sure other teams have arrived, but they really are just a side show to the main reason football is played. Its not about where you finish on the ladder or even winning flags, it is about defeating the evil that is Carlton. Winning games against Carlton is all that matters this post is to remind you all to remember what is important.
It is the forgotten war people have been distracted by shiny objects and their mundane lives or the pointless media cycle. The eye has been taken off the ball.
The Story So Far.....(in a suburb far far away)
Carlton was born form evil. Self entitled prats (no pun intended!) who used their money & influence to rape the poor and vulnerable working class. For every evil there is good though and Collingwood alone took the fight to the beast and war has raged between the two inner city suburbs ever since. As many victories as defeats were had on both sides, which simply brewed the hatred more and more over a century and more.
Most Carlton supporters cannot tell you why they are called the Blues. This is because the evil in their name is hidden from them for marketing purposes. They called themselves the Blues as they wanted to bring depression and sadness to all others. Some say the Carlton secret powers were the ones responsible for the great depression in the twenties and brought the Blues across the land. The only team to fight back at this time was the Pies Machine dominating football for the decade and bringing joy to the down trodden. The Blues to this day bring depression to us when they win.
Recently the battlefront has been quiet. Primarily this was due to the above mentioned distractions, but also due to the internal crumbling of the Carlton football club. The end of the nineties saw the beginning of the tide turn against the Blues, their cheating ways were exposed and penalised and the downward spiral began. Oh how we celebrated. As they were recovering from this a Collingwood agent (who will remain nameless) managed to lead the Blues into a dark dark hole, again evil was squashed by Collingwood alone. In the same time Collingwood close to broke at the end of the nineties rose to become a power club envied by all and an army of followers urging them on. It felt like the war was won. Carlton had become a benign rabble and no threat to anyone.
However, in 2016 an alarming thing happened. We lost to Carlton. Not since the great one had been forced to exit from the Carlton leadership had this happened. It was shocking and ugly, but a wake up call that we always need to be vigilant for evil never rests. It must be stamped out violently and with no mercy. We must all unite and rise again to defeat the old enemy.
The Fight Has Just Begun
So far the win loss record looks like this:
-Collingwood 122 wins with 20,457 points for
-Carlton 126 wins with 20,059 points against
-4 Draws
Whilst ahead on points we are behind on wins. Our loss this year meant we cannot now equalise the record until 2018. We were on track to do it next year and that is the great disaster of that game. We cannot afford another loss. So people we need to be in this for the long term. We cannot afford further losses. We cannot relax and must push on until we have righted that glaring blight on our clubs win loss record.
