It was secretly 'reversed' during the Collins years... obviously it didn't work

Is Uncle Colin busy? He looked pretty happy at the Brownlow when Cripps won, maybe he can go cleanse the place out.

We may as well blame big John.
There has to be some reason for this curse that seems to be on our club.

Can't find the link but years ago two Yorta Yorta elders placed a curse on Elliot & all that was close to him, after a racial slur he made.

I seriously think it worked. We're feeling the effects of it.



i remember reading all about that ...

we do feel cursed. if not by the yorta yorta, than by the culture that elliot built within the walls of this club. like intergenerational abuse, it just follows the next, and the ones after that.

old mate flashing his cock on twitter was just more of the same CFC arrogance/ignorance/ egotism...

He doesn't have any stake in Etihad anymore, wouldn't waste his time for no return.

Elliot always reminds me of Saddam... Corrupt, Powerful, Rich & Arrogant but Geez he did have a Charisma about him that made the club a Powerhouse in the 90's. The Standards were very high...There were no such thing as honorable losses or a Win is a Win mentality.


We need a Similar leader like him Minus all the Crap & Corruption to put this club back as a Powerhouse. I sometimes Wonder whether our failure to Win a Flag since 95 is due to the punishments we received, but surely that was a long time a go. There are no excuses, we been rebuilding for years.

Maybe we should get a priest to perform an exorcism at the ground to be rid of any bad spirits.
Anyone know one?

Elliot and the Madhouse have been the 2 biggest contributors to our downfall over this terrible 30 year period.

Kezza, that’s cheeky - you know they are organising one on Bigfooty.

Having said that, I know an Orthodox Carlton supporter who would be more than willing.
Just not sure what the price will be. :razz:

Elliot was 23 years ago, if we haven’t improved, it’s on us.

Well said….when you have a generational issue of entitlement it clearly takes time.

And for what it’s worth I’d rather have 16 cups versus 14 (then again it would be unfair to suggest one individual was alone responsible for ‘87 and ‘95)

Curses do last a long time though
