@whowasthatmaskedman Looking a little grim at the moment.
6/7 goals down at half time
ExtremeNext · 36-40
@whowasthatmaskedman west coast did last year, what was good about that? They were the most undeserving team ever to win it no wonder they are not there today

@Gusman I confess I am not watching. Too much money in sport for me to be interested any more.

@ExtremeNext You could be right. But it is not yet a truly national game. I would like to see that happen for the game.
Gusman · 61-69, M
@whowasthatmaskedman I am not watching either.
I only watch when Carlton is in the Grand Final. Last time I watched was 1995

@ExtremeNext Carlton Football Club Song,
One Line,
"We're the Team that never let's you down" 😒

@Gusman Here we go.. I am surprised no one has yet mention the "Colliwobbles."😉
Gusman · 61-69, M
@whowasthatmaskedman Collingwood are a non entity these days. Perpetual Colliwobbles😜
ExtremeNext · 36-40
@whowasthatmaskedman the colliwobbles got buried in Victoria Park
ExtremeNext · 36-40
@Gusman sad isn't it they have been my team all my life and they have been nothing but a embarrassment the last 20 years
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@ExtremeNext And they arent in this game because............?
ExtremeNext · 36-40
@whowasthatmaskedman they only showed up at 3quarter time the wobbles only really apply to GF collingwood still holds the record for most lost GFs
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@ExtremeNext Hey😉 A record is a record.
Gusman · 61-69, M
@ExtremeNext I have followed The Blues since 1972.
Attended their victories in '79,(Wayne Harmes pick up out of bounds, pass to Ken Sheldon in the goal square. Blues win by 5 points) '81 and '82
Don't forget, what happened when Carlton paid players extra money to 4 star players, Silvani, Bradley, O'Reiley and Brown thus blowing the salary cap.
They were fined $1 million dollars, lost 4 draft picks in 2002, lost all draft picks for 2003.
All under President John Elliot's Tenure
Never recovered from that and are now only starting to look like a team that may be competitive going forward.

@Gusman it's their own fault I agree but in 20 years they have been crap it's unforgivable
Gusman · 61-69, M
@ExtremeNext Sure. Before that salary cap breach they had never won the wooden spoon.
Since then, 2002, 5 wooden spoons🥺
ExtremeNext · 36-40
@Gusman I know that's what makes it even more sad
