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

[Robertio]

Blues had injuries??

That's why we didn't win the premiership.

 

[Cdog71]

It's called "form", and Carlton's is terrible, zero victories against top 15 sides in the last 10 games

Pies finished 4-1 including beating the premiers

Formlines predict Pies top 4, Blues bottom 4

Hawks thumped you by 11 goals.

6 of your 12 wins were within a kick.
And a draw.

Form?
It didn’t seem to help you very much this year, your lucky you weren’t bottom 6.
Only needed three of those 6 wins to be losses and you would have been.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Blues had injuries??

yeah I saw a few happen when we played them. It happened right in front of me

 

[Worm4]

Wouldn't have changed the result. Was our worst game for the year without question up to that point. Hawthorn too good that day

Carlton seemed to be moving in slow motion that day.

Yep , need pace on all lines apart from the back 3 . It's a clear weakness when disposal efficiency is crap

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Carlton seemed to be moving in slow motion that day.

A mix of a treacle speed team and a lot of banged up bodies. Genuine traffic cones that day

So we were lucky? What's our record in games decided "within a kick" for the last 3 seasons?

Pies were so lucky not to finish bottom 6, though would have qualified for the finals series had we had scored one more point in either of our draws against Freo or Essendon...

 

[Fadge]

That's actually what we're talking about Wormy

PIES will be better

Top 4 is better than bottom 4

Except in the eyes of supporters of perennial losers such as Carlton and Richmond, where top 4 is only better if you win the flag.

Otherwise, both teams are equal last, and the bottom 4 team gets a better draft pick...

Yeah ok, that’s true.
And like I said, 6 of your 12 wins were decided by less than a goal.
If three of those didn’t go your way you would have finished in the bottom 6.

Fudgey... Richmond is literally the most recent dynasty team in the AFL and ur entire game plan is built off the back of what they did at the Tigs over that period... Perennial losers

Yep , 3 flags in 4 years - take that every day of the week.
Pies haven't done that for almost 100 years

 

[Fadge]

Yep , 3 flags in 4 years - take that every day of the week.

On the back of barely winning a final in the previous 34 years?

Nah, not for me.

Tigers are your "spoon bros"

There's a 33% probability that any 21st century spoon will be won by Richmond or Carlton on those figures

Misery needs company.

Those supporter bases are like peas on a pod.

You wouldn't know anything about generational teams as Collingwood haven't had one since the 1930's

Pies of 2009/10/11 were just unlucky we had to contend with two of the other best 4 teams since the turn of the century - Geelong and St. Kilda of those same years.

Richmond had to contend against?

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Are Collingwood more successful than Richmond in the AFL era?

Yep!!

 

[Fadge]

Are Collingwood more successful than Richmond in the AFL era?

Same premierships won.
Many more finals won.
Many more games won.
Much fewer spoons.

The answer is a resounding YES.

Unless of course you're a Carlton or Richmond supporter and believe second place is equal last, as I posted earlier...

 

[Worm4]

Against the opposition presented to them .
Oh Boy, you think Collingwood 2010 premiership team was a dynasty team ? Go have a lie down . It's 2am where I am and the NRL GF is about to start. Go Storm

That's coming in the next few posts I bet
