I remember that game.

I remember thinking 'Geez, we really are crap but these blokes are crappier.......... it'll be a long time before they win a flag'.

Question: will this thread end up being as long as the Essendon* thread?

At this point I am voting yes.

I was there. 2005. We should've lost - without Fev and Waitey kicked 5. I think we came out of the clouds to win.

1945 - End of round 3 Carlton was last.

Last round Carlton made the final four for the first time.

Eventual premiers.

That's what I'm talking about!

And now we can say "Geez, look at how well they did with their recruiting and how bad we have!"

Our losing streak just about started when we got the spoon finishing behind them by half a game.

La derniere fois que Carlton a battu Hawthorn, je vivais en France. Allez les Bleus !

They also recognised they were crap & traded into the draft...& appointted a young coach...& rebuilt.....and, and, and....

Kouta was still playing...

Buddy was in his first year of AFL

Fev wasn't playing. And he hit the post to LOSE us a game a few years ago. And he was stuck on 99 against them. Blame Fev.

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

I texted my Hawks supporting mate after the game to gloat

A comparison between last weeks game Vs Geelong:

2005 - roughly 46,000
2014 - roughly 37,000

There was 49,000 at the Hawks game in 2005 when we were both hopeless and at the dome. Interesting to see what they get at the MCG.

Carlton was only 141 years old.

Roughead wore 35 as well and was spending time in the backline.

We also never had a number 1 pick up to that time. Something happened in 2002 to stop us from that.
