Although Essendon have won as many flags as Carlton, and a number of other clubs have also won their fair share in recent years, it seems that no other bunch of supporters go on about their club's premiership success quite like Carlton fans.
Why is this?
I suspect its because they have been listening to John Elliott rave on and on for too long and they are beginning to talk just like he does without realising it!
Carlton supporters talk as though they are the reigning premiers all the time. Someone needs to remind them that half a decade has passed since they last won a flag. Michael Bolton (the singer) was popular back then just to give you an idea of the time that has passed!
Having said all this, I realise it has been three and a half decades since my side won a flag, but that is irrelevant, Geelong supporters are not cocky.
