I can remember as a 7 yo in 1969 turning on the radio and listening to the result of that game - even at that age I realised the enormity of the loss and its horror! The one thing Ashley didn't cite in his reasons for the rivalry was Carlton's arrogance. Admittedly, when they were successful they had virtually no respect for anyone they were so full of themselves. In the case of Hawthorn, they felt they could just blitz us in the 3rd quarter regardless of what happened in the first half. The 1986 GF rectified that with Jason kicking 6 from memory on Bruce Doull in his final game.
Awesome list!
