Best choke of 2024

[Thrawn]

So Carlton were never a premiership chance when they were 2nd on the ladder and 2nd favourites for the flag?

I'm glad you now agree with what I was saying at the time.

You're listening to too much David King.

Possibly the biggest choke in history, any sport

You're experts on choking big games.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

You're experts on choking big games.

No we're not, in the modern game we're experts at winning big games, finishing top 4 and being successful

Blues on the other hand... spoons, near misses and the odd finals appearance which ends in a drubbing

Oh wow

Hey what happened the week before, when we played the red-hot flag favourites? Was that a big game?

Carlton are experts at avoiding big games.

Living vicariously through the feats of 16 other teams in the competition.

"Which team are we barracking for these finals fellas?"

That's not a GF though.

And Richmond were floored by a gastro bug.

Not Collingwood.

Oh wait.

You said "big games" not grand finals, there are plenty of big games, have to win a few of them just to make these grand finals you speak of

I mean, we all know not to listen to coaches and players in pre-season, but the amount of Tigers fans who swore to me black and blue here that Dusty had “his best pre season ever”, as if he somehow was going to be fitter & stronger than ever this year, was insanity. Genuinely the most interesting psychological study of a cult of all time. “Richmond staff said this, it must be true, even if it defies all logic”. Yeah he’s really gonna break out 2017 this year…of ****ing course not. But yet they persisted until it was clear he was both unmotivated & not that fit.

Would have thought giving up a 50 odd lead when you’ve won 12ish games in 5 years would rate more of a mention. Or is it just so miserable it’s not funny?
