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

[MisterMarcus]

Carlton consider losing to the lions at the Gabba in a final the mark of successful season. Last year was their greatest season in 25 years according to their fans. Not sure what our piss weak club achieved last year

Some of your fans can be absolute muppets....but at least you guys have actually DONE something in recent times to semi-justify it.

Carlton fans carrying on getting lippy after the monumental achievement of one prelim final in 20 years has been ridiculously cringe all season.

Thank you Port. At the time a couple of weeks ago I was dirty that Freo didn’t win, but have since realised;

• Carlton’s pre-season will start later than it should
• Their draft pick won’t be as good
• Tonight’s first 50 minutes will leave some mental scars

Please predict

1. October
2. November
3. December
4. January
5. February
6. All of the Above

Which month will Carlton supporters have the Blues installed as Premiership favourites for 2025?

Congrats Carlton on finishing higher than Collingwood. Now that the season is done the fans can start celebrating. Got a bit of catching up to do the players started back in June.

 

[SuperSub17]

Carlton have won 3 games since the end of June. The bottom 3 sides. Voss must go

Yikes.

Decent June premiership hangover.

 

[Port 2004]

i dont see how adelaide's season is relevant to anything here

Fair call but no harm in giving it a run.

You finished 8th and lost… congratulations. Your list is peaking and finished above a little over 50% of the competition. What a club.

If you make finals and don’t win one it’s a waste of time. Finals footy is a different game and weeds out the weak teams.

I have never heard of that

That's stupid - this has been a disappointing finish to the year but making finals is not a waste of time. At the very least you expose young players to that environment - a few got their first taste of it tonight. Should only motivate them to want to be better next time.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

A decent enough effort in the end considering the injuries and our slow start. We didn't win the flag but we did win the thread, and we didn't lose by ten goals either.

Carlton are better than Collingwood and it'll be the same next year as well. Go Blues In Vossy We Trust!

Nearly as bad as only winning 3 flags in SEVEN decades

Haha great response, 7 decades you must be old, i have seen 3 flags that i can remember. And if we went the NRL route, they strip premierships for salary cap breaches wouldn't be good for Carlton.

That’s a positive outlook to have. The equally valid possibility is that a loss like tonight (60-0) will leave scars that will be hard to shake in future years, especially when interstate.

Can you remind me again, was it like 60 to zero at nearly half time. Record for the ages for you mob. Was that correct, i need reminding

You must win all the debates at the old folks home. What was life like during the war?

Not really a positive outlook it's just facts. That's a bit extreme imo - this club has gone through so much crap that you'd think most of them are pretty trauma-immune at this point

 

[HairyO]

Not better. Less worse.

Even at our shittest we were never down 60 - 0.

Who cares, friendly reminder flag in 2010, flag in 2023. Carlton rebuilt going on 30yrs. Lets see what 2025 holds.

Congratulations Carlton, the 7.7% “better” than Collingwood is yours.

Didn't Carlton lead the Hawks at HT 55-5 just last year

 

[Chronz]

Since The 30th June, Carlton have only beaten North and Eagles. Unreal!

 

[Xtreme]

Carlton might have finished ahead of Collingwood on the ladder, but was it really worth the bragging rights ?

They just got humiliated in an elimination final. Meanwhile Collingwood have a 2 week headstart on their vacation time
