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

[Fadge]

Well derrrrr
Your opinion on Carlton means very little to me too.

I wonder what you see if you 'open the other eye'?

Would it be a second steaming pile of ?

Geez some people on this thread have a bad case of little club syndrome

 

[Silky23]

Peak bigfooty.

Modern day Carlton fans telling Pies fans how to build a list.

My only post in this thread will be this.

Carlton will need to be paying 4 blokes $1,000,000 and have their top 7 blokes taking up $6.6 mil in the cap - Nearly 40% of the 2025 cap.

The fall from grace when their second tier of players walk and / or there's a big culture shift due to the big 'guns' absorbing the cap will both be brilliant and satisfying.

Talk about building a list .... Carlton the team of 'stars' but no premiership team lmfao

No. If I open the other eye it will be the one same steaming pile of . It just looks bigger, closer and in greater focus.

I am going to be fascinated to sit back and watch this Carlton rebuild. Will it be different to the others? I admire the honesty of the club in realising this current list cannot win a flag and not bothering to top it up with stars to have a crack at a flag. Brutally honest but harsh. Back to the draft, the rebuild begins.

Perryman and Houston won’t make a difference to your defence if your midfield keeps getting belted. There are only so many D50 entries that can be defended.

This is a dumb trade period by the Pies, did not address the real weaknesses in their team in the mid or fwd line.

Awwwwwwwww, the little Carlton stooge is back. How sweet.

Says a lot that you think picking up a player in the draft means you're rebuilding.

I just feel sorry for the poor kid they take at pick 4...

Another career ruined.

Let the rebuild begin.

What iteration is this since they last contended?

V4.0?

It's amusing but I also find it a bit concerning what Carlton have done..... I 100% expected them to try to top up thinking they were still in the window. But their lack of delusion this time is a worry.

They have realised that they are a turd and that they need to stop polishing it. They've come to this realisation much earlier than I expected. It shows an uncharacteristic self awareness from within the club. Bad signs.

They genuinely can't afford him mate.

Got to pay up 7 figures for Walsh and TDK within the next summer

How many more 33 goals a year forwards are gonna walk from their side?

 

[South of the Yarra]

Owies averages the same number of goals in finals as Curnow from far less opportunities.

Membrey will help

The reality check was that we had more injuries to our best 22 tho...

I am trying not be too parochial in relation to this topic. However I know that both Collingwood & Carlton experienced an usually high level of injuries during the 2023 season. Now whether Carlton had more or not, I am not sure & I am open to the relevant statistical data. OK. Now I think that the acquisition of both Perryman & Houston will certainly improve the Pies going forward. On the flip side, I have to say that I admire Carlton's creative draft strategy in order to get Pick 3 in this forthcoming draft. Obviously the Blues have a particular target in mind. Whether it is Callaghan or Lalor or Smith or someone else I am not sure. However I am sure that Carlton will end up with a quality player. Goodnight & good luck.
