Trawling through a few of the old, old threads on here (it's a slow work - i mean a no work day) - when I came across this short thread.
Thought I'd dredge up this, mainly on account of the brisk optimism displayed after a Pre-Season Cup win (which we all know better than to get excited about now) and more notably the fact that Camelboy openly declares his love for Old Man Pagan.

Thank God you don't start dragging up some of my old posts then Sparky! I wasn't just a Paganite, I was in hook, line and sinker! Anyway we move on before Jim starts chucking rocks at me.
I think what is important is that we are all Blues supporters and hopefully we have moved on to a new and exciting era. If we focus on the past, we'll be bitter and twisted (like Agro...LOL), but if we embrace the present, the future will take care of itself.
Let me tell you, the future will be every bit as exciting as the golden era or 1968- 2000; only better now that we have embraced the AFL Blueprint (excuse the pun). If only our forum members would appreciate that we needed to be on the brink of almost oblivion to rise again as a serious force. I liken our bleak era since Black Friday to a raging firestorm, similar to Ash Wednesday. Sure it did untold damage, but the regrowth has been spectacular.
The Carlton footy club is so much better placed than all the other Victorian pretenders. It makes me wonder what they have been doing whilst we have been away? If you think they have hated us, pitied us and even laughed at us in the past in various times, you ain't seen nothing yet. The Filth, Scum, Ferals, Aints, Dawks etc are cacking their kimbies at the inevitable rise of the CFC as a Super Power of the AFL. I have a car number plate that reflects 16 Flags and some time ago tried to get the same with 17, but it wasn't available to my disdain. I am so confident that I have made inquiries about getting CFC 18, 19 & 20.
Are we back yet? No....not yet, but we are friggin coming at a squilion miles an hour. These other poxy clubs and their toothless supporters better get outta our way!

As Sticks said. We are Carlton....you know the rest!
