Winning 5 flags in 30 years is better than winning 1 in 50 years
Do the math !!!!!!!!!!!
It's fun looking into the past.
Let's look at ultimate failures...
3 wooden spoons in 8 years or 2 wooden spoons in 113 years?

1 flag in half a century is ultimate failure. A complete disaster.
Good for Collingwood, though

No. The way we've comprehensively destroyed you in recent times suggests more then a mere team having the wood over another team situation. Remember going into more depth last time we played why we would beat you. Predicted a 40-50 point win so underestimated how much better we were then Carlton. Poor on my part

Yes it is, but is 30, 40, 50 years really relevent? Can I bring up our 4 grand final wins in a row (the 1920's isn't that long ago!!)? Feel free to live in the past though, I suppose it is better than the present for you guys.
The fact is neither Carlton or Collingwood have won a premiership in the last decade, with Carlton barely featuring in the finals. Carlton have been through their worst era ever, yet you guys still gloat about grand finals?
The old Carlton is nothing like the new - deep down I think you know it. Yet you console yourself with the fact of two more premierships in over 100 years (even though you have won exactly the same as us in recent times).
They reward mediocrity - e.g. giving Malthouse a contract extension for being the most unsuccessful coach in their dismal Clubs history. The Pies really don't want success - so long as they're within excuse-reach of success, they can then use their imagination to fill in the gap.
Yet he outcoached Ratten? I guess most coaches do though
Ratten's outcoached Malthouse in 3 out of the last 4 games actually. Floodingwoods tactics last time did reek of a little desperation didn't they. Are the Pies the new Crows?

At the end of the day the Pies not only reward mediocrity but strive for it
At Carlton, we talk about premierships, the ultimate goal. At Collingwood, it's "we've outperformed you in the last decade, or MM outcoached Ratts once out of 4 times"
I think the Pies should be striving for something higher, i.e. Premierships.
Be proud of your history just like we, at Carlton, are.

I will take a 54 point win any day of the week, using whatever tactics neccesary. Speaking of desperation, Carlton could have used a bit that night.
Flooding or no flooding, Ratten just doesn't have a B plan. Terrible tactical coach.
We are much better than the Crows, but I see you guys struggled against them as well

Of course the ball was out, in fact, wasn't Harmes in the front row of The Ponsford Stand?
Yep, 3 spoons in 8 years is certainly an enviable record.
I can imagine how proud you must be
Those ultraflooding junk tactics will only work in slippery conditions of course. They reeked of a little desperation and fear, which gives the Blues a lot of confidence going into the next game.
Yeah, I am sure the Blues would have taken a lot of confidence out of a 54 point hiding
As well as being kept to their lowest score for the year.
They should be supremely confident going in to next game.

Of course we're not proud. It was such a dreadfully unproductive period for us.

Thomas isn't that bad, he would definitely get a run at Carlton. We also got Pendlebury and Jack Anthony from that draft.

Did you know that Collingwood are sponsored by Emirates airlines, set up by United Arab Emirates (UAE)?
This is a nation that has a very poor human rights record, including child trafficating and slavery and using children as jockeys in horse races.
I don't know what my Collingwood friends on this board think, but the fact that Eddie McGuire does business with such a regime and Collingwood players accept payment from such a regime speaks extremely poorly of the club.
This "winning at all costs attitude" is a disgrace, especially when you don't win
Shame Collingwood, shame
