Banter Who will be better in 2025, Carlton or Collingwood? Part 3

[Worm4]

Not only do they not know how the finals system works, they're only just realising a final goes for longer than 20 minutes.

Next we'll be hearing about how they outscored Brisbane by 5 goals after to 20 minute mark of the second quarter in this year's Elimination Final...

We know how finals work. Watch Carlton knock Collingwood over in finals many many times . Don't be so condescending

 

[Worm4]

Y'all realise we won our final the week before from 8th? Successful finals series

Doesn't matter what week the game was played cobba. Still only had 1 goal up to 3/4 time, and then some junk in the last 10 mins. It's just people in glass houses .....

 

[Scritchyscroony]

We're Collingwood contending in 2018 when they were 5 goals up in a Grand Final ?

Yes. You see we were playing in what's called a grand final. I know the concept is foreign to you but when you make a grand final you can genuinely say you were a flag contender. When you get spanked in a prelim....not so much.

Furphy!
We scored a goal in the first quarter... So we were never in contention for the 1904 record like you guys were.

Plus we won a classic final the week before, against the odds

Blues 2024 is the worst finals side ever

Hit the finals in historically awful form and couldn't even score ONE POINT in nearly a half of football, dismal

 

[doppleganger]

You related to Stephen May? Don’t let your actual record against pies stop your BS.

When is the last non dead rubber game that Carlton actually beat the Pies?

Obviously been in a coma, Essendon still exist in this reality.

Is this a serious question?

I fear it is...

This is much worse than our Brisbane game.

Collingwood supporters mouthing off here is akin to Essendon supporters poking fun at a team's finals record.

100%
Seriously, losing to St Kilda in a GF is as bad as it gets

 

[Worm4]

It was a GF and involved Collingwood , so the choke was expected as per usual

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Yep. Fraid so! Worm will listen to you. He obviously pays a lot of attention to your posting. Can you try to explain it slowly for him.
I've tried but I can't make him understand that actually being in a grand final and being 5 goals up in it is a very good example of what " contending" means;

as opposed to getting flogged by Brisbane in a prelim.

Going back to 1966 for your material is really lame Worm.
But Nah...
Being comprehensively beaten head to head by StKilda 24-6 or whatever it is this century and winning 150% more spoons than them is as bad as it gets. Saints have comprehensively outperformed your sorry mob THIS CENTURY.

Carlton can only dream of being as successful and competitive as StKilda THIS CENTURY

Happy to keep to conversation to 24/25 but some clown(s) continues to bring up Carltons past, so it's kinda hard.
Anyway, ok - how about those pies this year ? Backed it up well I gather.....

Getting flogged by 16 points ? Oh boy. I generally keep floggings to somewhere around 6 goals or more , but each to their own

Final margins are irrelevant in finals, the question is: when was the game over as a contest? Probably somewhere during the time they kicked about 11 goals to 2

[Arr0w]

But still couldn't finish higher

 

[Thrawn]

You couldn't even beat Essendon this year, lol

 

[Fadge]

You couldn't even beat Essendon this year, lol

So Carlton couldn't beat a team who couldn't beat Essendon?

After more than two decades of building and rebuilding?

Oh my.

 

[Reg Grundy35]

But still couldn't finish higher

yeah we needed to play you 3 times

 

[Reg Grundy35]

You couldn't even beat Essendon this year, lol

yeah dreadful. But we had no trouble with Blues, Dees and Lions twice each. Go figure
