Ultimately, what is success?

[Vinnie Vegas]

You're making yourself look foolish, parrot.

 

[just maybe]

It's all it could be. Only team with 16 premierships, Carlton only have 15 since one was dodgy.

 

[parrot]

The tenacity and pride of a team is set not by the success they've left behind, but the way they go about finding future glory.

Nup. Nice excuse, but wrong answer. Keep trying.

Tell me, with an attitude like that, when do you expect the counter to tick over to 17?

2080? 2090?

 

[Funkalicous]

Pick me!

*raises hand*

 

[parrot]

Have a guess, you're all so close.

16... 16 players to be delisted at year end?

16... 16 players to be delisted at year end?

Nup, wrong again. More clues - they're silver, heavy, and the Blues have 16 of them. Any ideas?

 

[Ljp86]

Nup, wrong again. More clues - they're silver, heavy, and the Blues have 16 of them. Any ideas?

Vibrators?

 

[parrot]

Still struggling. Another clue - they're the reason why Carlton is the most successful club in the AFL.

 

[Daddyswing]

collective brain cells?

 

[Art Corvelay]

dodgy player contracts which broke the salary cap?

number of smokes John Elliot used to smoke a quarter?

 

[JeffDunne]

Nup, wrong again. More clues - they're silver, heavy, and the Blues have 16 of them. Any ideas?

Lunchboxes for Lance when you play interstate?

16 players to be delisted at year end...

16 players that are so old, most of their teeth are full of silver cappings?

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Your going to finish 16th this year??

 

[parrot]

Lunchboxes for Lance when you play interstate?

Nup, wrong again. Another clue- think of what StKilda have an awful lot of (26?) and then think of the opposite. Have a guess.

 

[JeffDunne]

Youve got 26 talentless hacks?

 

[parrot]

Still struggling!. OK, yet another clue - it's the reason why you all show much bitterness and anger toward the young Blues.

 

[LexyBaluca]

You're all struggling. I'll give you a clue - it has something to do with the number 16.

16 eh? Is it the average number of months given in a each suspended sentence for Carlton players caught breaking into houses and dealing drugs?

 

[JeffDunne]

See parrot, you mis-understand me.

I don't hate the team you have now - in fact I love every last one of them.

My favourite all time Carlton team.

You're right, I'm still struggling . . . nothing about the Carlton FC looks anything remotely like success.

Actually I take that back . . . Collo getting a contract between the club and TD - that was a success. The only other thing that I can think of recently that would have been a success was a couple of successful drug tests.

Wait . . . I've got it. 16 successful drug-tests - is that it?

 

[parrot]

Your going to finish 16th this year??

Nup, again wrong. A clue- if someone was to say the Pies have won one of these in 50 years, what would they be referring to? Have a guess.

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Nup, again wrong. A clue- if someone was to say the Pies have won one of these in 50 years, what would they be referring to? Have a guess.

A wooden spoon?

 

[JeffDunne]

Another idea . . . . you're going to have 16 losses this season. While they might not be silver, most will be heavy.

6 wins - no priority pick - a successful year for Carlton this century.

 

[parrot]

Think of the opposite.

No, way off JD. Admittedly it is a difficult question for Saints fans - but you may have seen them on TV in late September, being held up to the air. And again the Blues have 16 of them. Any ideas?
