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

[Fadge]

I know you want it to be true but we aren't really shattered that you finished 8th and we finished 9th. Im pretty much here just to be an annoying flog. The debate was over 78 pages ago

Indeed.

2024 - the height of Carlton's prime years after more than two decades of building and rebuilding, flush with Coleman Medallists, a Brownlow Medallist, Gary Ayres Medal winner, various other All-Australians - where they peaked at 2nd on the ladder and 2nd favourites for the flag in June, and progressed to win 2 of their last 9 games (those being against 16th and 17th on the ladder), and be completely humiliated in an Elimination Final.

Those of us who support the reigning premiers should be very jealous.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

It's all a bit of fun

Apart from some that spat their pizza and bailed, was bloody funny

Didn't you disappear for a month after the Hawthorn game?

 

[Pistol Night]

Didn't you disappear for a month after the Hawthorn game?

I disappear after all our losses. Cant be a hero when you lose

 

[Arr0w]

Nah, I'm always around, i don’t spit out a good pizza, didn't really impact our finishing position nor tge Pies

Fadge you must have trouble comprehending the thread title, but going back in history really isn't kind to you

8 flags to 3 on my lifetime, just in case you need a refresher

We both had years that were positive and shit at the same time. Even when we struggled up to 3rd we were never looking likely. The hunger after winning one is a factor without doubt

I'm afraid hell need confirmation of your age to verify this. 7yo Richmond supporters dont know how cool they could be on Bigfooty. Telling 97yo St Kilda supporters 3 in 7 or GTFO fossil nuts

Oh, I'm old, still remember squeezing through the hole in the fence at Vic Park, trying to get shelter in the outer where McKenna was doing the game for 7 under a tarped frame stand in a massive storm

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Really?

Tell me a 25 year period that Collingwood has had that is anything like we've seen from Carlton in the last quarter of a century?

May as well round it up to 3 or 4 decades given they're doing their bullshit "3 in 7 decades" routine again

Storm or cups of piss?

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Blues zero flags in 4 decades

It was a storm, but McKenna was p1ssed, given the amount of kids trying to find shelter in that tiny commentary box tarped enclosure

I reckon i recall Sandy Roberts saying it was taking your life into your own hands accessing thew comm box there in the old days. Ladders and rusty walkways and shit

No, I like to be factual.

I'll let them 'imagine'.

Sad when you have to use "alternative facts" just to keep your head above water

 

[Corn Cobbers]

 

[beerbandit]

Martin, Marchbank and Cuningham will be huge reinclusions to Carlton in '25. Hard to see them losing a game

Oh no! Not the “Cavalry”

 

[Worm4]

Oh no! Not the “Cavalry”

Jesus H Christ. This joke is a week old. Catch up

I disappear a bit after losses but I spent literal years flogging it up in Bay 13 and fronting up after losses, honouring lost bets etc that I think I earned it. Plus life's too short, if the footy is disappointing, might as well go do something else, other hobbies or the wife etc.

So no flags in the 1920's, 1950's, 2000's or 2010's ? Is that what this thread has turned to ? Bloody hell
Collingwood no flags in the 1940's, 1960's 1970's, or 1980's. 4 decades as well.
This chat is fckn boring. Off to bed I go 10pm Sunday night. Vegas Rocks but big day tomorrow gotta get up early

Asking for a photo of something weird in Vegas is pretty dangerous
