More like a cheap fake Gucci handbag bought from a street vendor in Vietnam.

What a great analogy.

How many times have we heard people say 'Carlton have a stacked list', but upon closer inspection an astute eye can quickly see it for the fake that it is...

Keep em comin. Remember who finished ahead in 24. So if we're a basket case, what does that make you

To answer my own question
Sad and pathetic basket cases of their own who sat and watched the 2024 finals from a bar in Mexico.

Got the big shiny G buckle (Charly, Harry and Cripps) that distracts you from noticing that the "leather" making up the rest of it is made from recycled vinyl floorboards.

In all genuine honesty. I am so happy for you that you got to watch your team do this:

You must've been so proud. I'm so jealous it wasn't us!

Wasn't you because your team were in Mexico with all the other bottom feeders.

But, you guys were just as bad against.......hold on.....

Third rebuild in a quarter of a century and Carlton have improved to peak as a mid table team.

What an organisation.

Have we peaked have we?
Stunning observation

You were shot at the border crossing.

Yes, you (Carlton in this instance) have.

A mid table side. Nothing more.

List hasn't improved in the off season whilst many others have.

Certainties to miss the finals in 2025, and if one of the big 6 miss a lot of footy, bottom 4 bound.

'Just an hour'....

The team hasn't contended for a flag in a quarter of a century!

 

[beerbandit]

We were a basket case then. The key word there is "then".
Mainly brought about by your "plant" Mick Sh*thouse in 2013. Have had to claw our way back slowly, but surely, but we did, because we are Carlton.
Are we a "basket case" now?

You have literally said this every year these threads have existed.

Ok. Whatever you reckon
Should we be concerned, I mean, based on your predictions to date......
Nah. We're not worried
You guys seem to be a bit tense tho lately with not making finals, losing GW & Browne and loading up for 1 last crack before your oldies wither and die.

Yes

Really. What does it make you then when we finished ahead of you?

Says these things based purely on his hatred and undervaluing of our players and club. Hot air. Every time he posts you can feel a breeze blow through the thread.

We finished 9th brought in Acres and it was said we hadn't improved. Then made the prelim the following year. Had a rubbish last 6 weeks in 2024 but were tracking to improve again with the addition of just E.Hollands. You don't need to be spending everything to improve year-on-year - get some improvements with cohesion, improvements with coaching and some natural development into the youngsters and that will have a more significant impact on results than any single acquisition.

Yeah an hour. The screen shot was of the 60 to nil scoreline in our final so I was responding to that. Our final. What was the scoreline in your final in 24?

He didn't cost two first round picks so will probably have no impact...

You went from 12 wins to 13 wins in the home and away season, and were never in contention in 2023.

Luckily for you, 13 wins was enough for 5th spot on the ladder. Conversely this year, it just stuck you into the top 8.

So 12 wins, 13 wins, 13 wins.

Where was that 'improvement' again?

 

[Fadge]

Indeed.

But performances like that aren't 'just an hour' for Carlton.

It's pretty much the story of your 21st century.
