Banter Carlton is better in 2024. Who will be better in 2025? Carlton or Collingwood? Part 3

5. Back when Carlton used to play in grand finals last century they had a really good win ratio in them.

6. Stephen Kerhahan's rendition of 'Stand By Your Man' is one of the greatest video clips of all time.

Wasn't a serious suggestion..
A Carlton Collingwood banter thread where we all just get along would be..... ......different.
We should all be made to say three positive things about the other club.
I'll go first.
1. Carlton used to be a very good club.
2. Carlton were very close to beating Collingwood this year. Only just failed right at the end there. Good effort.
3. Owies really came good this year I thought.

So similar to Carlton's premiership team of the 21st century?

Mil Hannah also had a nice bonse

8. For well over 100 years Carlton had the sole distinction of being the only club never to have won the wooden spoon. An amazing effort!
But then the 21st Century came along......

Talking up Tim Membrey while crapping on Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay. Never change Pies fans

He’ll fit in nicely at Oldiewood

Yes, they're certainly making up for lost time.

And hasn't it been highly enjoyable?

9. I love how they enter every season with high hopes and expectations, when surely in the back of their minds they know they're going to be let down again.

It really is honourable the belief they have in their club despite decades of constant and repeated disappointment and mediocrity.

Yep good one.
We can all acknowledge the special way in which Carlton supporters turn up every year with high expectations. When you've known nothing but failure for nigh on 3 decades this is super hard to do. Their ability to find hope is remarkable let alone the way they then somehow build it into high expectations.

The closest a Daicos will ever get to a Carlton guernsey.

The closest a Daicos will ever get to a Carlton guernsey.

The closest Peter ever got to winning a GF

The closest Peter ever got to winning a GF

Let's see if the likes of Cripps, Curnow, Weitering, Walsh, etc. can get as close.

The clock's ticking...

And let's see how many more Josh and Nick can add to the family collection.
