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

[Fadge]

You blokes would love the chance to shit the bed in a GF. You have to settle for 1 prelim every 25 years though. Cute

And in that single Preliminary Final, they allowed their opposition to kick 11 goals to 2 against them when the game was there to be won...

 

[Robertio]

Indeed.

It takes an amazing team to have been present in more than one third of all Grand Finals ever played.

Particularly when you think some teams haven't looked like playing in a Grand Final for a quarter of a century now...

But it's 2024 and you didn't even make finals.

 

[caloschwaby]

Oh, phew

 

[South of the Yarra]

I forgot that one. There's been so many Pies grand final defeats over the years it's hard to remember them all.

And yet in the AFL era Carlton is going at 33% in Grand Finals. Wow.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Win next years one and it's two wins and two draws in the AFL era.

 

[Pistol Night]

Draws? You can’t take our results to help fluff your stats

 

[YeoShuey]

We beat Brisbane twice this year so clearly we are the real premiers.

And Sydney beat Collingwood twice. So what?

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Oh god i of course meant to say two defeats there. It's normally the interstate supporters who do this VFL/AFL separation nonsense though.

Perryman picks Collingwood, just because he barracked for us as a kid and loved D Swan

This is why we'll never fall off that cliff Madblue

Destination club, nearly every boy's fantasy is to play for the Mighty Magpies

Dan Houston waiting for the all clear from his manager that Collingwood will trade for him before he announces us. Remains to be seen whether we'll go that route. He might just have to settle for Carlton in the end if he's hellbent on returning to Vic or he stays at Port.

His manager is worried he won't get a game at Collingwood

That means they're the runners up.

Great pick up, hopefully you play him as a mid, rather than a HBF

But the big question is.....

Does Perryman make our age profile younger?

Because we all know, a younger, unproven list with potential is far better than an older, proven list with experience.

At 26 by next season he'll be about the 3rd youngest player on our list

Wonder if that means we'll get Kennedy now, are they mates? From the same "village" near Wagga

How many years will we need to develop him in the VFL before he's old enough to crack it into our senior side?

Would be the first Carlton/Collingwood player trade in a while

They rarely work, too much of a culture shock going from one to the other

 

[Chief]

They rarely work, too much of a culture shock going from one to the other

Few Pies players survive the de-lousing.

Oh I agree

Mick McGuane in a Carlton jumper wasn't quite right.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Why are Carlton playing hard ball with Port for Houston? If you are in the premiership window you pay overs for the players that will get you across the line for a flag

Maybe it's got to do with salary cap and paying over 1 million dollars for a half back doesn't sit right with the club? They also have TDK and Weitering contracts to negotiate this year and that Million doesn't allow much for negotiations. Plus , he ain't no Lauchie Schultz
But hey, I'm just a supporter what would I know

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Three flags in sixty five years would suggest otherwise,

Carlton have won two flags in the last 41 years. With the current list of chokers that will not be changing anytime soon.

O flags in 29 years.
2 flags in 41 years.

Oh my
