In the background maybe the photo of McGovern lining up for goal and Curnow getting a free kick. Hand signed by Blues legends Mick Malthouse and Dale Thomas

I reckon this would sell like hot cakes amongst the Blues fans on here. Just $568 plus postage.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Over 6-8 decades?


So I guess it's not dual citizenship and you are illegal immigrants?

Um yeah dude. Over the last 6-8 decades! Collingwood has made finals significantly more frequently that Carlton in this timeframe. How is this news to you? Tequila killed off too many brain cells?

Where did you arrive at the price of $568?

I would have thought $550:
5 spoons this century
5th placed finish in 2023 was their peak
0 times in premiership contention this century

So making finals is the measure of who is the better team???

You're right. That's what the price was but then Mick Malthouse jacked up his signature fee by $18 and spoiled it.

No. Read our conversation. It's about who is most familiar with Tequila and tacos.

Check who's won the most flags in the last 6 decades though.

They are also releasing a limited edition framed wall poster to commemorate making back to back finals.

Not to mention the 8 flags to your 3 in that timeframe so its your brain cells or lack there of that has been killed off

Hawthorn
So?

Stick to the thread title.

You can make all the excuses you want, but at the end of the day, it's pretty straightforward. We're comparing two teams that played finals last year and debating which team will be better this year.

Now that the home and away season's ended, one team's in finals, and the other's not.

The answer seems pretty clear, even for the most simple-minded among us.

 

[Cyclops]

So now we know Carlton was better in 2024, do we know who will be better in 2025?

Well us of course.

Just on "who will be better in 2024" well sadly we both got worse.

Carlton are down from their 5th finish last year (although if they go all the way from here you could outdo yourselves).

No denying it, we were much worse this year compared to our flag win last year.

I got my graphic designer started on the job, roughing out the type, temp sketches etc, but when I showed him the reference image of Walsh flexing he started laughing so hard he spontaneously combusted. Literally went up in flames just like that. What a way to go... I can only share his work in progress (may he RIP).

Are you in your 90's then?
Because in my lifetime Carlton have won one flag to Collingwood's 3.
They've also won 5 spoons and been a perennial laughing stock for most of it.

Reliving the glory years of 1945-95.

 

[jezzajay]

But Fly said that he was expecting to get a few players back for the finals a month or so ago Are they not playing in 2 weeks ?

Last I checked...that's an emphatic NO! Pies are cooked for '24.

 

[DopeMaster]

Before he died he reached out to his mate who's in house at Carlton, sometimes provides feedback on his work etc. I can confirm that they're working on this in advance 'just in case':

 

[jezzajay]

To those Carlton supporters who were bagging out Darcy Cameron during the year (I don't care enough about who it was to specifically recall exactly who they were) - thoughts on his inclusion in the AA Squad?

Won't make the final team - easy.

Did you know that the majority of people on earth (some 4.1 billion people) have not had a Carlton premiership occur in their lifetimes?

It really is a black swan event for the bulk of humanity.

See, I only worry about flags

This year, I'm sure the mexican is close to you, dude

You've lived a very stress free life for the last 29 years then, haven't you?!?

More made up stats and fewer facts I see.
