The glorious 70s and early 80s of course! We'd just gotten rid of Gough Whitlam around then and colour TV had just come in. Very recent history to many Blues supporters

And this is why I rate you as the most intelligent Carlton supporter in this thread. Nothing really matters in football except Premierships. Win the big one it matters. The rest of the positions mean nothing.
All you guys talk about is the pastit is all you have
All we talk about is the past?
But now that we are here, you do realise we have won more flags since the inception of colour TV in Australia, right?

Ha ha ha it's getting funny now
Yep Carlton were gifted a top VFL country zone by former Carlton president Sir Kenneth. They unsurprisingly had a 20 year glory period from - 1968 to 1987. Once they had to compete without an advantage they have been the worst team in the AFL.All you guys talk about is the past
Melbourne had a dominant 25 year glory period in the that ended with the 1964 flag, tis ancient history now. When they were 30odd years into their 50+ year premiership drought, I wonder if crusty Dees were bragging about flags won in the 1940s whilst watching their team collect their 5th wooden spoon since their last flag?
Even Melbourne have a flag in the current century, unlike the uncompetitive Carlton.

That's what I thought when Carlton fans claim that the AFL creates a new ladder so they could pretend that Carlton have had a top 4 finish in the 21st century!!
But none since 10 years before flat screen TVView attachment 2198056View attachment 2198057

Do the top 4 teams of the season play in that seasons prelim or not? Just answer the question without any of your usual song and dance.

As a poster I rate highly, I have no doubt you know that.
No the top 4 teams references the H&A ladder.
The top 4 teams on the H&A ladder get the reward of a finals double chance and play each other in the two QFs.
It is pretty simple

"you do realise we have won more flags since the inception of colour TV in Australia, right?" is not an attempt at history? Ok

If i didnt donate $10 to the pathetic Save Our Skins campaign back in the 90s your club would be extinct. It was a pity donation to the paupers of the AFL. Back in your box

Carlton have been so atrocious that one of my mates turncoated to Geelong in 2010 when Fev got the boot.
Ok so you loved our club enough to donate the princely sum of $10. Well that figures, Richmond is a universally admired club after all, noble of deed and word.
I am however not entirely convinced that particular $10 saved Richmond from extinction. Remotely possible I guess.

lol without any support from opposition clubs supporters you would not exist. You should be humble to us to have the success you had albeit brief, and given your recruiting it will be a very long time before you are competitive againOk so you loved our club enough to donate the princely sum of $10. Well that figures, Richmond is a universally admired club after all, noble of deed and word.

Jeez can't ever recall seeing anyone who wanted more mileage than you out of a lousy $10.
Brief success? Is that what you call us winning 50% more Grand Finals in 4 years than your club has won in 66 years?
People who wanted the Tigers to survive gave money. But in your case it seems you didn't want Richmond to thrive. So why did you give the money? 2017-20 must have burned you bad Heefy. Or maybe you are claiming to have given money you never gave.
You should be incredibly grateful to have supported at least one club who knows how to win Grand Finals. Albeit with just $10. Richmond has paid you back at $3.33 per Grand Final victory. That is pretty good value Heefy.
