Would you classify carlton in the 'big 3'

[DeesManiac]

If carlton are in the big 3 then it really is a meaningless title.

 

[TableSalt]

So all of a sudden West Coast and Adelaide have been around for bloody two minutes and they are apart of the so called "big 3". If they can keep up their on-field sucess, finance, membership base etc. for 100 years plus then they can be considered part of the "big 3". But at the moment it is obviously Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon.

Yes. Yes we are.

 

[Palmer Stoat]

There's a big four: Collingwood, WC, Adelaide, and Essendon.

 

[davey_magik]

A club that receives handouts cannot be in the 'big 3'.

Lawrence Angwin

Karl Norman

And they were sacked, unlike some of your problem players. Look in your own backyard before having a crack elsewhere

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Norman was sacked for poor performance, not for off-field issues.

Our problem players? Like who? Didak?

His only crime was accepting a lift when he was drunk. He never fired a shot, nor ever was close with the bikie gang. He ran into them by chance one night. Wrong place, wrong time.

 

[bLuEbOy1984]

in a few years time we will be the ONLY ONE...
then you can stick ur collinwood adelaide and west coast where the sun dont shine

 

[Tarkyn_24]

The big three are Collingwood, Adelaide and West Coast.

Carlton are trying desperately hard to be like Collingwood...

What, we're trying to tank?

 

[Smell The Glove]

What, we're trying to tank?

Yeah. You were the pioneers of blatant tanking in 2005. Congratulations.

I'm so sick of people saying Didak was in the wrong place at the wrong time!!!! for goodness sake, the people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time were the two men that got shot (and one tragically killed) Out of Didak's possible inaction. That's wrong place at the wrong time.

 

[Harry Madden]

Bunch of geeks!

any1 with half a brain knows Carlton is part of the 'big 3' - history, premierships, prestige,, power...

Carlton/Essendon/Collingwood

Get a life!

I'm really enjoying the ever escalating talent-envy amoung the non-Carlton supporters. And it's just going to get worse. Deep down they know the Blues are building a great list, and they don't like it.

Yet the last time they made the finals was.......

Flags are the only measure of success, everything else is failure. The Pies have only won one flag in 50 years. It just doesn't get much worse than that. lol.

 

[DeesManiac]

Very, very close. I say no.

 

[fevolation87]

The big three are Collingwood, Adelaide and West Coast.

Carlton are trying desperately hard to be like Collingwood, just atm they continue to fail miserably.

mate where are we failing; Getting chris judd, having a $ 3.1 million profit, getting the best CEO in the country Or having 35,000 members but hey whatever you say

 

[Blue Dawn]

LOL at these twits denying reality. A hint of form and we sell out the Dome Wait til we REALLY show some form in the next year or so! We'll probably kick-off the year with 40,000 members and 85,000 at the G in Round 1. Not Big 3!?

 

[kouta6]

ur all kiding yourselfs there are 4 big clubs the only reason there is a rivalry round is for these teams
carlton richmond collingwood and essendon all the sucsessfull powerhouses of the afl

 

[hustla]

there are only 2 clubs worth mentioning as powerhouses. Carlton and Essendon. If you can't win the flags, you got nothing. 16 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> whatever.

 

[Jesaulenko. You Beauty]

this whole thread is stupid. every1 knows the big 4 clubs are carlton, richmond, collingwood and essendon. if we're talking about the top 3, then just look at the afl ladder. it changes every year. for now, carlton are not in the top 3 of the afl... just wait till the end of the season though

 

[Monkey King]

Norman was sacked for poor performance, not for off-field issues.

Couldn't be further from the truth.

I don't think Didak being in the wrong place at the wrong time and the two victims being in the wrong place at the wrong time are mutually exclusive. Christopher Wayne Hudson, ie the bloke who pulled the trigger, is responsible for the shootings, not Alan Didak. Maybe you should remember that, ********.

Yeah, and look where all that 'talent' has got you, Parrot. Don't let the elation of rising all the way to 15th go to your head.
