By the way, when any Collingwood moron refers to Carlton being "salary cap cheats" or some such crap, I suggest reference to John Wren's habit of rewarding Collingwood players with bonuses after all winning games.
An inference that this practice, in contravention of the "Coulter Law", may have been a factor in the winning of the 1927-30 flags usually results in a highly-satisfying outpouring of bile (satisfying for us, bile from them).
Try it some time.
Key Carlton players strangely not turning up to some Collingwood matches in 1890's.
Defection of Carlton players to Collingwood in mid 1890's severe economic depression.
Some players accused of "playing dead" in the 1910 Grand Final, and the only time they have beaten Carlton.
This is how they showed their gratitude for Carlton helping them to become a senior VFA club in the first place, and the Blues donating their home game gate takings to them.
Collingwood and most clubs have been caught breaking the salary cap. AFL was going to go through each club's dealings, but only Carlton was made an example of.
The wheel is about to turn, and this week hopefully, the Blues' fortunes are on the way up.
