Reasons to be proud of the club –

We have won the pre-season cup – first piece of silverware since 1997.

We have Kouta, who is an AFL MVP.

We have a potential AFL MVP in Jarrad Waite.

Any others?

We have withstood the heaviest penalties in the history of the game

we have an incredibly healthy membership for a team that is performing so poorly on the field

We have some younger players starting to improve, Bryan, Walker.

And Carlos and the Bullants are doing well.

We have the 2nd highest membership base in Victoria despite our team being poo since 2001.

We do not accept mediocrity (Well I certainly dont anyway !!!)

We dont deliver chicken shit or tear up membership cards at the MCG like a certain other "big 4" club does.

We hate the AFL and everything it stands for. (Corrupt, bias, rewarding mediocrity)

We ARE the Navy Blues, and we WILL fight back.

Even if you're not proud of the current mob, or hate the coach, you can stillbe proud of the club itself. Carlton attracted each of us to them for whatever reason, but our success over a long period of time has had a lot to do with it regardless of how you came to wear Blue.

You can try the Premierships: Spoon ratio if you'd like, but our success over a long period of time speaks for itself.

This led to 92000 unique visitors to the carltonfc.com.au website in the month of May alone. The power of this brand, the love of our jumper, the history of our success and story, will continue to bring more & more fans in.

Imagine if we become successful again! WIth unique visitor numbers like that, memberships of 40,000+ are not out of the question.

And that will be something to be proud of.

Now that is a good enough reason to be proud :lol:
