Banter Carlton is better in 2024. Who will be better in 2025? Carlton or Collingwood? Part 3

[Robertio]

Not sure about the bitter part there old mate.

I think only one of us is hurting right now .

We are still the reining Premiers.
That last time Carlton could make that statement, Fitzroy were still in the AFL .

Wow, now that really does put it in perspective.
I now understand why Carlton supporters are so angry towards their club and hate the world.

Enough is enough I say!!!
Grab some banners, make up a chant and go for a march.

You can't lose a final if you don't make finals can you?

It's actually a good thing to see Carlton supporters suggesting qualifying for finals though not winning the flag is actually preferred to not qualifying for finals, which is a very different narrative to what we've heard from you guys in recent times with your references to 'Participation Trophies', Collingwood's 'record number' of losing Grand Finals, and 'if you're not first, you're equal last'...

 

[Robertio]

Good to see Carlton really took advantage of the opportunity, with the best list they've compiled in more than two decades, after being second favourites for the flag a little over two months ago...

We had 20 players out most of the year and Pies scraped in both times, a moral victory for Carlton and will set us for a big year in 2025. Your mob should improve with the addition of a 1st round pic you'll get.

A great fight back by the Blues will give them plenty of confidence next season.

This could be why Carlton had such a good run with not losing finals for many, many years.

Deflect to the past again with a "No you" reply.

Carlton are finished. Rebuilt for 20 years just to peak in a prelim final. Sad sad club

 

[Doc1763]

Just like Geelong were “brave” in the 2010 prelim.

In reality those finals where it’s over early but then the aggressor can ease off thinking about next week are as bad as the ones they keep their foot on the throat for 4 quarters.

Need a mercy rule for those finals

Yep they're slowly entering the real world, growing up!

So, can we now agree Carlton failed to contend for the premiership in 2024, and therefore cannot be regarded as a 'premiership contender'?

And that they are accurately classified as a 'mid table team'?

That's sad mate - but since this is important to you I'll announce all my post edits from now on. Hope it helps

Unsurprisingly sarcasm has eluded you once again. I was just pointing out your error, the one you deleted your post to erase. Given how pedantic you are I thought you’d appreciate it.

 

[Chief]

It has to click for a full season at some point

Relatively fit team with a stable lineup is what is needed.

As you didn't register my sarcasm I will make it clear that I won't be announcing my edits

Looks like you’ve once again missed my sarcasm. I didn’t actually think you’d appreciate me pointing it out. From now on I will be adding “warning: sarcasm ahead” to my posts so you are no longer confused.

Just try talking about the footy and stop trying to be a smartarse.

Do whatever you want - just a weird conversation to start.

They seem a bit touchy this morning...

I wonder why?

I’m not sure why, it feels like a great Monday to me.

Isaac Heeny is the one to blame for why we didn’t have two competitive finals on the weekend. He just had to sink the Pies like he did the Giants on Saturday.

Brisbane/Collingwood would have had a cracking elimination final, I reckon.

Yep I am the touchy one. Not the person stalking a poster's comments for edits. I assume this is very normal behaviour to you?

Indeed, fully agree.

I'm getting closer to understanding who the genuine premiership contenders are in 2024 - there actually could be as many as 5... which is as many as I've seen in a long time for any given season...

Look how aggressive and pissed off you are, over someone mocking a little post deletion.

That certainly appears to be a case of touchiness to me.

Defends the suggestion of their being touchy, by being even more touchy...
