What does the Carlton emblem mean?
To all the blues supporters out there. I am getting our emblem tattooed on my back next week. Can someone help with the translation of MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO...I have at present been told 3 different meanings. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks guys..

Nothing

It means 15 losses in a row. Carlton are worse than Melbourne and have been for 5 years. Time to throw in the towel Carlton supporters. Even with three no.1 picks and the 'BEST' player in the comp, you still can't piece together a win. You can't even beat Richmond! HAHAHAHHAHAHA

Holly, your emblem, MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO I believe is a latin word that when translated means - MEN WHO LOVE SPOONS MADE OF WOOD

ha ha... that's a good one...

My friend, a Carlton supporter who used to give Brisbane so much sh!t until the last few years has a nice collection of wooden spoons in his kitchen. Every year around September I go around to his place and give him another one.

I wonder if I can order an annual subscription to a wooden spoon factory, so they can just deliver it to him each September.... or August, or even July?

The Carlton Emblem what does it mean...?????


........Those that cheat get caught......

.... And the reason it was written in Latin.... Was to fool the Blues supporters for the last 100 or so years

Mens sana in corpore sano (a healthy mind in a healthy body) is a famous Latin quotation, often translated as "A sound mind in a sound body.
Its An answer to the question of what people should desire in life

It means something along the lines of "healthy mind in a healthy body"....at least, there's a dictionary i have that says it means that. they've probably taken it as something about fitness maybe?
