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

[Arr0w]

I'm hanging out for the finals odds to be available.

Parlay Collingwood to make them into Carlton to miss and quadruple your money

"Loading up"?

Pick 3 will be two levels better than 12 or 14 but i wouldn't expect you to know, keep looking in the 50's and 60's to see who the Pies get.

Paddy Dow says hi !

We went from 9th to 5th, on the back of Blake ****ing Acres!!!

Go back and dig out as many historical posts as you like.

Carlton were miles off the contenders in 2023, as per the number of games short of the top 4 they were.

Carlton have peaked as a mid table team - a good run at the end of 2023 may have caused the list to be overrated - but these past 3 seasons is where they are at - a team who will just scrape into, or just miss the top 8, and not have what it takes to genuinely contend for the premiership.

And taking your list backwards going into next year, with your best players in their absolute prime, is not the answer.

Which pick did you use on Cripps?

Particularly when they need to improve the list right now, when their top end players are in their prime.

But as it looks, they're going to have a mid table list for the short to medium term, and then who knows where they will be once Cripps, Weitering, McKay and Curnow start exiting...

Cripps in particular. Pick 3 is unlikely to move the needle but who knows.

Literally has nothing to do with being exposed on yet another horrid call.

Apart from debunking your apparent 'exposure'....

'Carlton went from 9th to 5th' (and back to 8th, without genuinely contending for the premiership in any of those years).

 

[bungalow_bill]

Yeah .. like Paddy Dow was 2 or 3 levels better than Cripps or Max Holmes.

Another Beau McReery at 44 would be handyLate picks are our draft guys speciality.

Schache > Lohmann

Carlton won 12 of 22 games in 2022
Carlton won 13 of 23 games in 2023
Carlton won 13 of 23 games in 2024

Look at that impressive Blake Acres bounce.

Carlton are a middling team.

At the end of 2022, you said Carlton didn’t improve their list by the singular addition of Acres. We went from 12 wins to 13 wins & he was one of our best players.

At the end of 2023, you said the exact same thing about Elijah Hollands. We went stagnated at 13 wins, but you’ve now rated Hollands in our top 15 players. You also said Schultz had improved your list. You went down 8 spots.

At the end of 2024, you’ve said the exact same thing about Pick 3, and Dan Houston.

Surely you get tired of being wrong?

As the great doppleganger has stated above, Carlton are nothing more than a middling side.

Your whole argument about my prediction / assessment being exposed is Carlton going from 12 wins to 13 wins to 13 wins.

OMFG.

And I'm so disappointed Schultz wasn't able to improve us from being first to... what's better than first?

You honestly don't think a Dan Houston will likely improve Collingwood's list?
