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

Which pick did you use on Cripps?

Great drafting wasn't it, best you study the 2024 draft though.

Collingwood are going in a direction south of Mexico , Guatemala even. Worse than middling

More than that - the whole family’s moved there, crossing the border without a passport, destined to live their lives in exile!

I just feel sorry for the Mexicans, their currency has taken a hit!

Three picks in the 50's. Maybe we get another Swan, or a Goldsack, or a Cox, or a Tom Phillips, or Tom Langdon (they all played grand finals, and three won premierships).

We do alright in the preseason and especially the rookie draft. I'd take another Mihocek or a Lumumba too.

Its not about how high the number of your pick is, its about seeing the value. Confucius said "A Swan in the hand is worth two Gibbs in Radelaide".


This stuff about Mexico seems a bit racist, and like racism, its also plain stupid.

As measured from the "bottom" (the Earth's core) Central and South America are generally higher than the US.

You go looking for peaks in the Canadian Rockies, 100% of flags are won in the southern hemisphere.

We're gonna plant the flag on Mt Chimborazo. Not surprising you guys are so confused about this, when you're not used to high altitudes it taxes the brain. You'll feel better when you shuffle down to your natural altitude.

Flexing on draft picks from 23 years ago . How the mighty have fallen.

Yes we are mighty, although I think the quote you're groping for is "How are the mighty fallen in the midst of battle" which is in 2 Samuel 1:25, when David is bemoaning the death of his mate Jonathon.

The past can be a guide to the future. For example, going on Carlton's last 23 years, you'd have to say a flag isn't in your future.

And just as David King of Israel (who served YHWH, the one who separated darkness from light creating Black and White before all others=Collingwood) overthrew the Philistines (coastal city states which must have had some sort of a navy, which suggests navy blue=Carlton) so through scriptural exegesis we see Collingwood's victory over Carlton is forseen, ordained and given God's Seal.

 

[Fadge]

I'll give you a hint considering you have never ever experienced it - it's called back to back premierships.
That's what's better than first

Oh.

So the second premiership is an improvement on the first?

Do you get a bigger Cup?

Do you get a bigger spoon when you go back to back spoons?

 

[Fadge]

Did you remove my quote referencing getting improvement out of the kids ? Surely not.

Yeah, because Carlton have such amazing kids...

Oh sorry, I forgot about your amazing number 3 draft pick...

 

[Fadge]

Is winning a premiership 13 months ago really worse than peaking as a middling team after building and rebuilding for more than two decades?

Really?

Lol outside of Daicos the Pies have the worst youth in the league by a long way. McInnes, Macrae, Ryan... It's just spud city down at Pie land

Haha that’s gold mate! Genuinely clever.

Nicely done .

That’s how you do it Fadge

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Carlton aint finished top4 in the 21st century.

A middling team.

Currently they have a middle of the road team sure but if you are talking this century they are a bottom feeder team not middling. They are literally THE worst performed team in the comp bar Gold Coast this century. 5 spoons. Carlton = the new St Kilda.

 

[Robertio]

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?

Always doubt, not every trade works out just like going to the draft and Shultz came in and you dropped from first to 9th.

It's only racist if you don't like it mate, Mexico means south of the eight.

They have been building and rebuilding for more than two decades, with more top 5 draft picks than you can poke a stick at, and have peaked as a team that wins 13 of 23 home and away games, and miles off contending for a premiership.

What a glorious generation of football we have witnessed, and there are no signs of it changing any time soon.

'Pick 3'

'Pick 3'

Moir, Durdin

The list is endless.
We are so jealous.

For the 100,000 time the thread is about 2024-25 and if you haven't got anything say nothing instead of repeating the same shit time after time.

Give us a list of Pies young guns then, Daicos and

I was clarifying a poster who described Carlton as a middling team this century. Carlton are a middling team at the moment but they have been a bottom feeding dumpster fire over this century as a whole.
The distinction is important.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Give us a list of the Carlton youth you are excited about.

Elijah 'Better Than Fat Spud Schultz' Hollands
Ollie Hollands
Lachie Cowan
Ashton Moir
Cooper Lord
Whoever ends up pick 3
Jaxon Binns
Billy Wilson

Most of the Pies youth is on the delist pile. Harrison was looking alright but did his ACL, Ed Allan is supposedly going to be the best mid in the league but can barely get his hands on the pill playing midfield... It's slim pickings at Pieland

I'm looking at 2024 season, you know the one that has just finished and looks like the Pies are a middling team.

If Allen was any good he'd be playing more games, he is bog average.

A dynasty beckons.

A dynasty of remaining a large distance from premiership contention.

25 years and counting.

Understandably you don't have the capacity to look beyond the simplest of single data points.

Just another nuffy opinion.
