Ghastly set of numbers like something out of a Stephen King novel, no wonder they're so saltyBecause I love so much the fall and fall of Carlton these sort of posts are manna from heaven. You may as well just be saying we have given up, we are in the shite forever.
Easy for me to say Carlton were the better side in 24. You were. We were bad abd you were badly flawed but better than us. But really its nothing. The two wins we had against you easily balanced out 8th v 9th.
What I do enjoy more is that Carlton really seem no closer to solving their 29 year journey into being a disaster club. For old blokes like you the 8:3 call is just a mantra these days. To tell you the truth my Carlton mates, who are your vintage, have all pretty much given up on that. They give up without a fight these days.
For the Blues supporters 50 years and younger though all this 8:3 stuff they will see as palaver. All they have known is their club is a whipping boy, a team not to be proud of. Their life as a baggar has been miserable. When you rave on about the old days your younger brigade will just be thinking. "FFS grandad, do you talk about anything else, stop with the ancient history". The longer those running your club continue to live in the same thought lines as you, and they do, "Guess what we are cooking", Sticks 2 flags in 5 years etc etc it will continue. Its magical for the rest of the comp.

29 years. Probably not half your life but what a stretch of time to essentially not have a club to support. And then you think about the under 50's
Yep you were the better team in 2024 and its so good that means so much to you.
