People say the only thing better than beating Carlton is beating them by 1 point.

The only thing better than beating Carlton is beating them by 100 points (or a stick)

Ive taught my daughter that it is wrong to hate anyone or anything

EXCEPT

Hating the Blues is mandatory and encouraged

I feel we are poorer for not having a the rivalry and missing out when they are not providing a contest.

I have rarely been so happy recently as when Robbie Gray's goal sailed through after the siren to down Carlton on the weekend. A few seconds later the text went out to my Carlton supporting mate. His 19 year old son, also a Carlton supporter, doesn't understand why I hate Carlton so much and why I take such joy in stamping on a lowly team.

I agree with the first bit but disagree with sending out a text. It's a shit feeling when so called "friends" send you a text after a loss.

I posted similar concerns back in March 're this. We older Nicksters have been dealing with the Carltonavirus for years.
It proved a much more virulent strain during the 80's and 90's however like most outbreaks it died down and new threats emerged, but the memory lingers. 1979 & 1981 particularly bad years...

The good thing is at the moment they can't gather in numbers.

Reminds me of another scary story

Think Richmond. 30+ years of laughter, but now 2 flags and 5038104 Billion Million Trillion loyal supporters.

Carlton still have some mountains to climb, but yeah they finally look like they're on the way up.

Lets just win a few more flags before they do!!

DAvid - you are dead to me and many others I suspect

Surely you had a chuckle (or 12) when Robbie Gray kicked truly

Credit where it is due, Carlton finaly stop picking up GWS rejects and picking up suburban players with top 20.picks Bliane Bokhurst and Dylan Van-Rainbow (I think his name was, anyway not sure what Mathouse was thinking).

They are building a talented list and they will be a rival again soon enough... we must be prepaid for some close battles.

They have a few lads I would love to see in the back and white: Cripps, McKay, Walsh,
Sam Petrevski-Seton (just to name a few)....we can dangle package up JT and Blair for a straight trade for Wash at seasons end :P.

My all time favourite home and away game was the Pies v Carlton in round 14 of 1988. What a magnificent game and victory that was.
