6 weeks ago we were paying $100 for the flag.
We are now $10.
If we win the next 2 we will probably be premiership favourites.

Before the pies game we were $19.
At half time we were $15.
At the end of the game we were $13.
A few days later, we were $10.
Must be a lot of Carlton fans spending big after beating the pies.

We're $1.30 to make top eight - it's short but 30% return seems like money for jam. Will be down to $1.05 if we beat Saints though.

The life of a Carlton supporter summed up in one match.
St. Kilda.
No matter how good we look, or are performing we all know that this team is going to give us a hard time and for some reason they have become 8 point point games for us without us getting across the line.

How we perform when we lose will tell the story. How we reunite for another game and get back to a win will be a test of character. We don’t have the side of 1995. Winning 16 games in a row to win our 16th flag. I hope this winning streak continues. Everything is a learning experience at the moment. I still don’t know how we are winning when I am convinced we don’t look that dangerous on paper with our list. Is our depth sustainable. The fans are loving what they are watching. I have never seen so much passion and pride from the crowd. Almost as though they are on the journey to another victory and helping to carry us over the line. I wonder if this will give us better time slots, and more games at the MCG next season. Bringing in bigger crowds.

I loved how yesterday we fell into some old habits early and then slowly ground away and corrected them.

The life of a Carlton supporter can change in a quarter
Re: The life of a Carlton supporter. - Lods - 08-08-2023
I'll tell you who needs to get a life....
The "Where are the knockers now?" brigade. :
They've worked themselves up into a frenzy and are more concerned with saying "We told you so!" rather than celebrating the wins.
The fact is that supporters come in all shapes and sizes.
Loud-quiet, optimistic-pessimistic-realistic.
At the time there was some unrest about players and coach, we were actually in a bit of a hole.
Even Voss conceded he had the occasional moments where he wondered how to turn things around.
It took some honest, hard discussions and a few home truths to get things back on track.
There were some supporters calling for his sacking, but the majority of folks were of the opinion that he desperatley needed some wins and talk of sacking was premature.
Yes, some are supporters are over the top, but it all comes from a place of passion and love for the club.
Now you can make the argument that we should just accept the situation and not comment negatively because it feeds the frenzy.
But if we only sprout positives rather than areas of concern we may as well shut this place, and similar forums down.
People won't listen to you or accept that view anyway.
It's why the 'Kumbaya' forums don't work.
Without discussion and debate, and differences of opinion... it's pointless and boring.
I will say, that while it's prevalent amongst the Carlton social media folk, the "it must always be positive" view is not really a feature of this place.
I belong to a number of forums and pages, even some opposition ones (funny stuff at the moment, with us up and about).
All have different strengths and weaknesses.
After twenty years I still regard this as the 'go to' place for in-depth discussion and argument.
