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

[WalshistheGOAT]

I can let you know the probability that Cody has the following on his CV after only 3 years of football:
AFL Rising Star
Premiership
Fadgelow Medal
AFLCA Coaches Award
Club Best and Fairest
2 x top

Let's go with both. First the contested mark stuff, then the Fadgelows drivel.

 

[Fadge]

Can't be best on ground every week. How many players in the history of the game have polled as the best player on the field, 12 times in the same season ?
When I find one, I will get back to you

Hmm.

The coaches didn't seem to agree.

But if you want to use the Brownlow Medal votes as your single source of data to determine who the best player was over the full season, that's your prerogative.

I personally like to use all the data that's available, inclusive of finals performances.

 

[Fadge]

Are we meant to be winning this year are we Fudgey?

I'll let the players know the season starts tomorrow

Carlton were meant to be winning it this year, or at a minimum contending.

What happened?

They're claiming trade week premiers lol, is there a more delusional supporter base around?

Carlton supporters suggesting Collingwood supporters are deluded.

Just when you thought you'd heard it all...

I can let you know the probability that Cody has the following on his CV after only 3 years of football:
AFL Rising Star
Premiership
Fadgelow Medal
AFLCA Coaches Award (And 2nd placing)
Club Best and Fairest
2nd and 3rd placed finishes in the Brownlow Medal
2nd and 4th placed finishes in AFLPA MVP

Zero.

So same probability as Nick taking a contested mark before Cody then. Grouse

So you don't think we should use the brownlow as a barometer to measure performance with Cripps, but are happy to use it with Nick.
You're quite brilliant

Of course... This is Fudge we're talking about here

You quote a post of mine that includes the Brownlow Medal as one of many data sources, and can't see the difference between that and Carlton supporters referencing ONLY the Brownlow Medal?

Jeepers.

And obviously Walshy and Carlton_99 both jump on board...

By the way, carlton_99 - does the '99' reference your team's great Preliminary Final win, or your prediction as to how long Carlton's current premiership drought will extend to?

How are you supposed to take contested marks when nobody can keep up with you?

I thought your Fadgelow medal listing was spot on.
What are your predictions for the 2025 Fadgelows? I'ma guess that Sammy the seagul Walsh will be nowhere in sight again.

Thank you, Scritchy.

You've always been an accurate and unbiased judge of player performances, so I'll take that as a compliment.

Nick Daicos clearly starts the favourite for the 2025 Fadgelow, given he's been the best player in the game over the past two seasons, and is entering only his 4th season of football.

It's quite remarkable when you sit back and think about it. Unprecedented actually.

I'll see how the other teams and players shape up over the course of the off season, but I do think Heeney (who will be raring to go to make amends for his injury effected Grand Final performance) and Bontempelli will be up there again, with Serong to take a big step with an improved 2025 from Fremantle.
