Think Tank Carlton's shocking finals record away from Melbourne since 1996

[Pancakes]

Hate to be that guy but would love to see everyone’s interstate finals record. Not sure many would have good records, not sure anyone would have worse though.

Even the Bombers have won an interstate final since the Blues last won one, which goes to show how pathetic the Blues actually are.

There’s no surprise there. Clubs won’t play as well away from home. The reason why Victorian clubs dominate GF and PF at the G.

What’s Melbourne got to do with it?

The only thing that was ever keeping Carlton up was that they were bankrolled by rich crooks who used to just buy the best players and pay them with paper bags. Once the AFL entered the era of professionalism and higher scrutiny and they got rightfully done for salary cap rorting which they'd been doing for years it was all over for them as a club. Ever since then they've been an absolute basketcase but the delusional supporters act like their dusty VHS copies of grand final wins are proof of them being a great club.

Applies to most teams I would have thought

at least they can console themselves that they finished above Collingwood on percentage.

that's deemed a winning season for perennial losers like Carlton

Annnnnd the thread is about Collingwood after 1 post.

0-9 record away from Melbourne.

Hmmm I wonder if interstate finals means a Melbourne club finished lower on the ladder... ?

If this thread is to be taken as the serious, scholarly investigation it so obviously is, we must analyse every possible angle. No matter how unlikely!

A 0-9 finals record interstate!

Investigation and review needed at Carlton

Who cares ? The Grand Final will always he played at the MCG

Interstate/Non Victorian club supporters can go and get stuffed. It's our league, you play by our own rules.

The Fred is about how you can’t qualify for a GF due to your complete inability to perform interstate you muppet
