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

[Fadge]

Happy to enforce it.

Like you didn't last time?

In fact, you warned me about continually bringing it up...

 

[Worm4]

Oh, Carlton clowns claiming the trade and draft cup, already...sounds familiar

No , Corn Cobbers has already claimed victory for the pies.
Do you require me to reference the post ?

 

[Worm4]

Really?

Where are they?

Would love to play against Curnow in a final - he hasn't exactly set the world on fire in the biggest games, has he?

Please don't bring up playing Carlton in finals as it generally doesn't end well for the pies in that situation

Yes, indeed.

Carlton in big games - such an intimidating opponent....

An opponent who rarely get there in the first place, and shite the bed on the rare occasion they do.

Yeah, in my world you only bet with people who you respect.

And there are less than a handful of Carlton posters on this site that I respect.

Dementia is kicking in at such a young age. Maybe go and get checked out it's cruel and debilitating

Imagine prioritising the next Paddy Dow or Liam Stocker instead of trying to get an All Australian backman in their prime.

You would think that 25 years of high draft picks being duds would teach them a lesson, but oh no . Keep on doing what oyu do Blues, its worked so far

Trading away the future year after year rarely works. Even Geelong have been hanging onto their 1st rounders in recent years.

Never thought I'd see the day Collingwood fans do this much of a 180.

We were torched for years for not adapting to the modern era - ignoring the draft, buying players, third-party deals, taking shortcuts. Now the club is copping it for not buying more stars & prioritizing the draft, it's hilarious. Also we traded 1st rounders for Saad, Cerra & overpaid in FA for Williams - you want us to do it all again?

Let's hope Houston performs & stays healthy for the Pies, because this is a huge risk for them considering the tiny bit of draft capital they have.

You saying you don't respect Chief to enforce the results of the bet?

That was for lulz!

We've taken a first rounder in every year since 2020. How many have Carlton taken in the last 4 drafts?

Future obviously looks bleak for Carltons youth. No wonder you're trying to prioritize for the future. You're only 30 years out from your last premiership challenge. Can't rush the rebuild.

I'm sure the comp is quaking in their boots at the thought of Jakob Ryan and Spud McInnes! Pies youth is unmatched!

Pies looking like trade period premiers.

We're edging ahead, can the Blues lift or are they really set on the next Dow/Stocker?

I reckon that will sway the Blues into action

"Carlton have been urged to..." - Who is doing the urging? Their own commentator?

Classic click bait.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Silly by Carlton. Pick 12 is likely only a 50/50 bet to make it.

Whoever Carlton pick in the draft at 12 will forever be compared to the option of acquiring Dan Houston

Whoever Carlton pick up in the draft will have a possible 15 years ahead of him in the AFL.

Dude, Collingwood are probably the worst drafters in the league. Besides F/S & academy picks, it's been absolute rubbish for a decade.

The picks you're referring to:

2020:
Pick 17: Ollie Henry - requested trade to Geelong
Pick 19: Finlay Macrae - absolute spud who can't get a game & probably going to request a trade.

2021:
Pick 4: Nick Daicos - F/S - doesn't count.

2022:
Pick 19: Ed Allan - vanilla midfielder who can't get a game - again, spud.

At least Carlton can admit their youth is a bit bare at the moment & want to replenish that area before Tassie get in. Collingwood think they're Hawthorn or Richmond after their 3 flags, and we know how that ended up.

Or possibly just 3-4 mainly playing VFL.

It's 50/50 as I said.
Houston is AA quality certainty!

Agree on Houston.
