[The Prosecutor]

OP forgot to mention Essendons record against Port.

Only managed to pip us this year, by 3 points, with considerable umpire assistance, when we are at our lowest low.

lol bummers

7 points, though your in ability to read a scoreboard may well be the reason you can't differentiate between good and bad umpiring decisions.

 

[The Prosecutor]

The cold hard truth is that Essendon have accomplished absolutely NOTHING since 2004 and are an embarrassment to themselves and the league.

Well Kreuze, what has Carlton accomplished during this time frame?

2 wooden spoons, and a finals win against Essendon?

You're right, Essendon have not achieved much, but obviously looking at what you seem to define as achievement for Carlton shows just what each club defines as success.

 

[The Prosecutor]

So?...................

Consent is usually required, but don't tell Carlton that...

 

[Jesse Custer]

Be quiet shit lips.

oh look, its the internet tough guy....

Carlton's decade of shitness has to be some sort of record. 3 spoons in 5 years

 

[T2B_]

oh look, its the internet tough guy....

Carlton's decade of shitness has to be some sort of record. 3 spoons in 5 years

I like to think Shit Kilda's history of 1 flag and 27 spoons eek in 100+ years overrides any shitness record.

 

[Jesse Custer]

I like to think Shit Kilda's history of 1 flag and 27 spoons eek in 100+ years overrides any shitness record.

True, but we're talking about Carlton and the fact you guys demand and expect success multiplies the shitness of the past decade.

 

[Baldur]

I like to think Shit Kilda's history of 1 flag and 27 spoons eek in 100+ years overrides any shitness record.

Two year pointing at another child & screams out "But Mommy they shit too". Then bursts into tears. Mommy smacks with wooden spoon.



Grow up little sissy. St Kilda's shitness in no way makes Carltanks shitness non existant.

 

[T2B_]

Grow up little sissy. St Kilda's shitness in no way makes Carltanks shitness non existant.

Never said it did Baldurr, but St Kilda's shitness makes all others look like a tiny skidmark in comparison

 

[Franc de Borges]

Quality thread.

 

[Baldur]

Never said it did Baldurr, but St Kilda's shitness makes all others look like a tiny skidmark in comparison

But you forget the important factor of time. In time shit becomes good productive soil. But fresh shit just smells.
St Kilda was shit, last century. That well matured shit is now rich productive fields.*
Carltank is shit, now. And smelly.



Note fields may produce spuds.

 

[Bombers 2003]

So?...................

The trouble is
it was without their consent and is called Rape-a criminal offence

 

[Duckworthbill]

Dont kid your self, Saints are shit and are starting to smell worse than Carlton again.

 

[Baldur]

Dont kid your self, Saints are shit and are starting to smell worse than Carlton again.

Can always trust some Essenscum flog to come up with an unbelievable lie. “Starting to smell worse than Carlton”, inconceivable.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Oh god Essendon are shit. Can't wait to see them hit rock bottom over the coming years.

Also ROFL at all the flogs whining about Carlton's spoons. Do you flogs not realise we DELIBERATELY lost for picks? One minute we're tankers, the next we are shit. Make up your mind dipshits.

Fact is Carlton are the only AFL/VFL team who have never been awarded a wooden spoon for being shit. We're just a club full of masterminds always two steps ahead of the AFL rules committee.

Bow down.

 

[Radical Roo]

yeah but tanking for picks is suppose to make u better, all the evidences point to the contrary

 

[MrZregory]

Oh god Essendon are shit. Can't wait to see them hit rock bottom over the coming years.

Also ROFL at all the flogs whining about Carlton's spoons. Do you flogs not realise we DELIBERATELY lost for picks? One minute we're tankers, the next we are shit. Make up your mind dipshits.

Fact is Carlton are the only AFL/VFL team who have never been awarded a wooden spoon for being shit. We're just a club full of masterminds always two steps ahead of the AFL rules committee.

Bow down.

So you're saying that your club deliberately lost for picks. Is that the only way they could get success, by tanking for number 1 draft picks.

Was it too hard for the baby Blues to do it tough and win premierships the normal way; you know a way that doesn't involve cheating.

Haha face the facts. Carlton are one of the shittest clubs in the league. How about you stop comparing your success with St Kilda and see how you rank against the big boys.

 

[kreuze_missile]

So you're saying that your club deliberately lost for picks. Is that the only way they could get success, by tanking for number 1 draft picks.

No - we just aren't one of those mediocre clubs who sits on its hands waiting for success to find us. We pursue the quickest possible route to the next premiership. Hence why we're the most successful club in history

 

[Bombers 2003]

Oh god Carlton are shit. Can't wait to see them hit rock bottom over the coming years.

Also ROFL at all the flogs whining about Carlton's spoons. Do you flogs not realise we DELIBERATELY lost for picks? One minute we're tankers, the next we are shit. Make up your mind dipshits.

Fact is Carlton are the only AFL/VFL team which hasbeen awarded a wooden spoon for being shit. We're just a club full of f---wits always fifty steps behindof the AFL rules committee.

Bow down and we'll shaft you

i always knew you are a flog

 

[kreuze_missile]

oh look, its the internet tough guy....

Carlton's decade of shitness has to be some sort of record. 3 spoons in 5 years

You bummers will wish in a few years that you had been smart enough to bottom out in order to make a flag tilt.

Instead you've been screwed from the inside by self serving coaches looking after their own interests and nothing else.

You are at least a decade away from a premiership run, and that's only if arrogant Hird can finally admit his current group is utterly shithouse and start the spud cleanout

 

[MrZregory]

No - we just aren't one of those mediocre clubs who sits on its hands waiting for success to find us. We pursue the quickest possible route to the next premiership. Hence why we're the most successful club in history

So your telling me, that the best way for your club to get their next premiership was to cheat and tank for number 1 draft picks.

Instead of doing what Geelong and West Coast did by actually developing the players they had. They went 'oh shit' lets just play horribly for 4 years and let the AFL spoon-feed us our success.

p.s. I would really like to know your definition of being unsuccessful, if you claim that multiple wooden spoons and 0 premierships in the past 15 years is defined as being a success

 

[Bombers 2003]

You tankers will wish in a few years that you had been smart enough to bottom out in order to make a flag tilt.

Instead you've been screwed from the inside by self serving coaches looking after their own interests and nothing else.

You are at least a decade away from a premiership run, and that's only if arrogant rattan can finally admit his current group is utterly shithouse and start the spud cleanout

rattan will be cleaned out before hird

Would rather a bloke like Watson as captain than Judd. Would rather a bloke who bleeds for the club like McVeigh than a dollar chaser like Murphy. Would rather invest in the future with key position players than spend 10 years picking up half-back flankers like Gibbs and half-forward flankers like Betts.

 

[captain blood 17]

Great thread. My favourite memory is provided by the saints in the spoon years for the scum. I thought it was very touching of them to leave Optus oval littered in wooden spoons. Piss funny.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Betts is more of a forward pocket.

But yeah Carlton's time to strike is now. Essendon seem to at least have a long term vision for the club, investing in a spine above all else.
