So we still harp on about this player doing that and that player not do this - @#$%&! that, its so Essenscram and Collibubbles

They hold individuals up like light bulb moments but one light bulb does not a Christmas tree make.

We are a single unit - The Bluebaggers.
We are the Tsunami.
We are the stampede.
We are the swarm.

Judge us not on the components, on the who did what, when, where...

judge us on the whole, the swamp of this team,
the stretch and flex
the Bluebaggers following the plan laid down by Alex Dumas all those years ago.

We are or we are not
We win or we lose
but
no one component is the glitter or the dust
its all about the collective

think of fire ants - sure you can step on one or even two or three
but in the end
the swarm will devour you!

Look out
We are invading!

Brilliant dannyboy - well elocuted.

You are indeed correct - it is a 'Team' sport football.

The individual cogs are components of the well-oiled machine.

The Champion teams are integrated units of a broader culture and mind-set.
Our Blues have finally turned that long overdue corner and whether individuals come or go week to week the Team does what it is meant to do - carry on regardless and keep winning.

We can duly be excited about this dawn of a new era - the traditional Carlton winning team culture has been resurrected at last.

:clap: :clap: Danny.

Just remember you lot........................

For the past 6 matches we have been on the ultimate high.

Like death and taxes the inevitable will happen. One day we will lose.

if/When we do, try not to trash and burn those that did not perform well.

Port won 13 in a row and just lost 2 in a row.

Pies were flying and just got rolled.

It happens. By beating teams 1 and 2 in the past 2 weeks, we have shown we are a well-Coached team, with strong leaders. Lets not have short memories. The Club is in good hands.

Regards Cazzesman

dannyboy, great to read the juice from your quill.
The juice is Blue.

and Cazz, regardless of outcomes, we now must know we have a very good list when fit and firing.
I'm sure there is wear and tear with this newfound endeavour, and there may be a lull at some stage.
But I expect that to be next year. If it happens, and we have a blip, I will remain confident our Blueboys can bounce back.

We are Flag bound and the hottest team in the comp at present. The boys have made me so proud.

Finals is there for the taking.

The dawn of the swarm

We're all united on this one...

Let me just say though I am one proud Bluebagger after the other night...

I have been indulging in Carlton content since and have watched the replay three times...

I bloody love this club & I'm very excited... I think the navy blue era is just beginning!
