Resurrected it all the way to 12th. Mission accomplished :drunk:
It was a lot better than where we were at the bye. As Jack Gunston said, making the finals would be secondary, the improvement and leadership shown by the younger players was going to be the main takeaway from the 2017 season. :thumbsu:

Laughable.

Hawthorn's better second half of the season was entirely due to Burgoyne busting his arse at crucial times in games; and Hodge getting his finger out of his arse after starting the season with all intentions of having a lazy gap year.

Jack Gunston is full of shit, or an idiot, or both.

Hodge's first half was better than his second, Burgoyne was consistent throughout, however players like Sicily, Howe, Brand, O'Brien and co really warmed into the season or were given pivotal new roles after the break which turned the season around. That's the exciting part, regardless of whether the team made the finals.

Completely, utterly rooted.

Bottom 4. If Burgoyne goes down, bottom 2.
Would you care to make a wager that Carlton finishes above Hawthorn in 2018 or do you (as I suspect) have zero faith in your team's improvement?
I'll even go easy on you, let's say two weeks sig + av at the conclusion of the 2018 H&A or after the first team exists the finals if both happen to make it.


Here's your chance to prove you aren't all piss & wind, to put your money where your mouth is. The bet won't be offered again so don't blow it. ;)

Done.

Even with our best player out for the entire season, I see that as opportunity for the wealth of young talent we are nurturing to step up.

Also reminds me. I must provide a similarly optimistic compadre of yours, Paul007 with his off season sig and av.

Unlike the rest of you blowhards, he had the balls to cover the opinion that Geelong would crash and Hawthorn's genius recruiting binge would take them back to the top.

Good man, congratulations on having more intestinal fortitude than most of these gutless Handbaggers clogging up the Bay. :thumbsu: (*cough* Nakia *cough*)


So then, 2 week sig+av bet based of which of Hawthorn or Carlton finishes 2018 higher, to commence at the end of the H&A or when either team first exits the finals. Mods would you mind witnessing this to make it official? You can pull your collective fingers out and get cracking on the Bay13 Awards like FOTY & AWOTY while you're at it, cheers fellas.;)

Carlton supporters have a great welching history.

You proved that you are all piss and wind with your claim you had 3 big name free agents signed up. And all you got was mr hit and run. All credibility shot to shit :drunk:

Good point, don't worry mate I'll watch this fella like a Hawk. (boom tish)

Gotta say the lack of backwards & forwards bullshit on this particular bet has been highly refreshing, usually making one with one of the Handbaggers is like pulling teeth as they fuss & quibble over every minute condition like the cowardly little bitches they are. Nakia, Chappyuk & chefmeister are the worst offenders by far, good luck trying to make a bet with those twats at all. :rolleyes:

Carlton flogs are full of piss and wind until it's time to pay the ferryman.

You don't have any shortage of piss and wind.
To be fair the only Carltank welchers that spring to mind are BlackFlog and DivvyBlues, wouldn't surprise to find out there are others out there though.

I'm a man of honour.

I pay my bets.

Laphroaig is a douche who wouldn't have a problem welching on a bet.
