Toast The New Carlton Thread: 5 wooden spoons this century (next worst is 2)

[stormskye]

Different supermarket today.

It was the famous Metropolitan Wholesalers in Sydney Road.

I’ll give them a plug - fantastic place for Italian groceries (retail despite the name).

Much frequented by Italians and, um, Carlton supporters. Despite the latter I highly recommend it.

They must have an outstanding cookware section , specifically that of the stirring variety

they struggle to move them, Carlton’s already well stocked

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

The last two alone have been glorious; you mean we could have more?!?

They have Cats again in only another 6 weeks? Lol.

As a child of the 70s, I hate Carlton more than any other team. It would be pure bliss to see their premiership drought extend beyond 32 years.

Never forget. They are the scum of the earth.

No pity, no forgiveness.

So you are a young b#stard?

Yes mate, younger than you. Sidey and I are the same age I think.

Similar sentiment indeed. We waited 32 years between 58 and 90, Richmond waited 37 years between 1980 and 2017, so if the sequence continues, Carlton will have to wait 42 years, so that should take them to 2037 before they see success

Your students think you are the same age as Leigh Matthews

You can't possibly compare Collingwood's 32 year drought, where we played in 8 Grand
Finals, to Richmond's drought (where they won 2 finals), and Carlton's drought, where they've played in 1 Grand Final and 'won' 5 x wooden spoons...

Very good point.
Very bad for reminding me!

Collingwood gave it a fair few cracks at winning, often with less talent.

No. Merely looking at the length of the premiership drought and looking at the trend, 32, 37 and then the next number in the sequence 42

1970 we had the talent

 

[jmac70]

1970 we had the talent

That game broke my dad forever

 

[Ctracks]

Probably/likely - before my time though.

I like 50 better.

And Essendon wait 47 years. So 2047 for them at the earliest.

Carlton’s next games

Melbourne
Sydney
Suns
Port
Essendon
Geelong

Got the popcorn on order, this could be fun

They could quite easily lose most of those

 

[Fat Jesus]

They could quite easily lose most of those

Likely 4 losses there. 555

You're lucky - not probably - for sure
Top 4 at end of home and away



We beat Carlton x 2 in home and away plus in 2nd semi eg - 2 time we played them in home and away



Peter McKenna kicked 143 goals

Sigh - scars will heal when we beat Carlton in a GF

Unfortunately that will never happen. To beat them in a grand final, they actually have to make one!!!

Maybe the sequence is exponential, so that the next sequence is over 100 years from now
