After 3 games of round 1, The Tigers are still on top of the AFL ladder.

They are in the box seat for the finals :wink:

Apparently, yes it is if my missing post is anything to go by.

Five years of sitting down the bottom - no finals.

Years of copping 100+ beltings.

Years of putting up with the media sticking their boots in.

Years of having to endure opposition supporters giving us shit constantly.

Years of references to rorting, cheating, stealing, pillaging...

Years and years of no sunlight, no light at all.




And finally a little spark (pardon the pun!) - a bit of good luck in the past 6 months that has caught us all by surprise, Pratt, Judd, Ratts, Kruezer.

Finally a little bit of hope, a reason to speak positive - the most downhearted and negative posters have had something positive to say.


But not you.

If we want to lay crap on Richmond - let alone ANY team, we can do it. Compare us with Geelong?! Let's start with Richmond, and work our way up.

Saying we can't talk a bit of trash, after all that we have put up with recently?!

Get the f*#& out!!

But we lost to Richmond. We lost to one of the three worst teams in the league. What does that tell you about us and where we are at?

okay so now wee only mention carlton and geelong, and we only compare ourselves to geelong (unless geelong stumble, then whoever replaces them) but never, never have a crack at another club in fun 'cos this is business, this is so so serious mum, this is all bullshit.

Its a flower game of football, it hurts, its glorious and like everything else, we have nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with the results, we just enjoy the ride - or pretend an overinflated sense of our own omnipotent importance about things that we influence not at all.

Oh and its flower Richmond, they deserve all the shit we can give 'em. And even then its a thimble compared to what they give themselves!


The problem with that approach is it would leave you happy if in five years we're sitting around the top four but not winning premierships. You'll be happy because you'll stick it to Richmond who are struggling to make the finals, while we are there every year without winning premierships. I'd rather win three in a row and give it to Geelong and Hawthorn fans, the former because of the era we just stopped and the latter because of the era we just stole. I'd also like to remind Essendon* and Collingwood fans we are now 2 premierships ahead of Essendon* or three premierships ahead of Essendon* and 5 or 6 ahead of Collingwood. Being better than Richmond is like the liberals saying "well we might be out of government in every state and territory, but we have more seats than the greens".

I hope you're right but I suspect there may be a blowout next weekend.

St Kilda have a good running defensive core. Kosi and Roo. That little worm Milne...

Tine for the excuses to stop and go out and start delivering on our own terms.

St Kilda looked very good for a 1/4, the Swans not. But they turned it around. Sydney really are an unknown quantity. Especially at the start of a year. They get better as the season wears on.

Bring on them bastards!

Well we might be out of the 8 in every state and territory, but we have more Judds than the Tigers.

The way the first round is going. The 30 point loss to the Tigers is massive!

We may be on the bottom after round one. Not that there is anything wrong with that!

All summer I have witnessed people on here taking the absolute piss out of Richmond. They have been saying stuff like "Richmond are in the box seat for this" or "Richmond are in the box seat for that". And what exactly were we celebrating? Getting a player that they wanted (Judd). The fact that we got the number 1 pick despite them being last (as pro tanking as I am, I still would not gloat about this easily, it is not exactly an achievement). I think in the end a lot of you were trying to make yourselves feel good about Carlton by taking excitement and happiness at Richmond's misery.

Well on Thursday night Richmond were in the box seat.... to give us a much needed reality check. We should not be comparing ourselves to Richmond. They might do alright this year with a few wins but won't be in the top four anytime soon. We should be comparing ourselves with Geelong. We should be looking at what Geelong have, the structure they have in place, the types of players they have and how they play. Not gloating about beating a Richmond allegedley in the box seat, because a lot of you look like idiots now.


There are no friends in footy and a carlton supporter can take the piss out of whoever then feel like... How about Kane Johnson? Are we allowed to take the piss out of him? :wink:
