Sometimes I just feel like talking carlton with all my 'fleshy' friends. You see, they don't know shit and just want to talk about their beloved blues. They don't know that Lance has fat issues, they don't know that we will be shit for another 5 Yrs, they don't know any of the NAB stats for our new recruits, or even their names. It's all just about going to the footy and supporting their team no matter what.

I hate all this realism...it sux sometimes....

Bring on the ignorant optimism!!! Swallow your pride!! Our decisions and opinions don't matter and we'll still be Carlton supporters in ten years so spare yourself the heartache and just think premierships for awhile.

Go BLUES!!!

Spose that wouldn't be all bad TG...some of my best memories...Ignorance is bliss they say

I'd like to be able to go to the footy and just sit and enjoy it, instead of having the "We are going to be shit for another 5 yrs" circling my thoughts.....

Am I allowed to hail 2006 as a new year where anything could happen?

I spose I can but I will be thought of as being really really dumb

I was in primary school in 1995. I could handle going back to that time.

Anything could happen in 2006!!

It sometimes amazes me at how little pleasure some people get from following Carlton. Maybe it just seems that way in the written word? Otherwise, I think "why bother?".

It's such a fantastic game, is AFL. Fancy, it was less than 12 months ago we one the WC, and supporters were in absolute joy, chanting the Fevola song...I remember PJ was in the crowd which was shown on TV singing that song, and he even got quoted in Inside Football. Everyone was so exited and caught up in the moment.

That's what footy is all about. The highs and lows. The joy of a great win, the agony of a bad loss, and the optimism that everything will be just fine next week when we bounce back!

Don't people find that fun?

That's what I'm talking about!

And yes I find it extremely fun!!!

Collingwood were premiers when I was in grade 6.

I was in Grade 6 in 1972. Enough said.
I was at Uni in 1979 - 1982. I could have a repeat of that little period!

mmmmm, play lunch

We I got to high school it was known as 'recess'. But gee I loved 'play lunch'

We were bloody great when i was in grade 'Bubs'...

I'm heading for a Robert Walls this year but slowly running out of players .

It must be difficult for some posters to understand just how bloody good this side of ours was especially between 79-82 . Watched the 79 flag in bed had just been run over by a bike had over 20 stitches in my head -lost my Carlton beanie and tore my black leather jacket. the win made up for it

here here!

if you cant be optimistic and excited this time of year, then you never will be!

it took me a little while to get over the fact that we were crap, but once that happened, games started to become more enjoyable as i could see the future in the good kids we have running around.

next season will be much the same, and hopefully i'll be presantly surprised with a few extra wins.

i love the Journey that the Carlton Football Club has taken me on in my ten years of following footy. last season has been my only were my enthusasim waned somewhat but i can play the tank or not to tank issue for that.

i'm so pumped for 06 i've alreayd booked my flight down to see our opening wizard cup game, and i also bough 3 Carlton DVD's today!

i'm optimistic because of the hope and potential the new guys will bring to this club. i want to see some pride restored back in the jumper.

i'm not expecting finals, i'm expecting NAB rising star nominations and brownlow votes for kids!

It would take more than stiches in the hand to stop me giving it a work out
