Please try and convince all and sundry that Collingwood didn't finish 9th this year, with more losses than wins.

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

Banter threads are not to be taken too seriously. Have fun. Let others have fun.
We really do need to stop telling them where they have screwed up.
They're clearly all very comfortable with how they've performed and the decisions the club are making - let's just let them be.
And sit back and enjoy for another quarter of a century!

Yeah Markov & Frampton are genuinely 2 of the worst Premiership players of all time. Only one worse is maybe Cox.

The youth Fudgenator... Who are the youth??
I know this is a bit off a pisstake, but you do realise that Tasmania will have access to the first dozen picks in the draft, so the pies will get picks around 14 or 15 in 2027 unless of course they decide to trade out futures again in 2026
It's more likely we'll get a pick at around 30
The fact that Markov and Frampton have won more premiership medals than anyone has won in a Carlton guernsey since 1995 is a credit to an outstanding football club that gets the best out of its players. It's a great reason to continue believing that Collingwood will continue to disprove the opinions of its desperate doubters
Yep.
Mitchell - 4th in our B&F in a premiership year and in the top 4 on the ground in a winning Grand Final.
McStay - Highly influential in the Qualifying and Preliminary Finals - we don't make the Grand Final without those performances.
Frampton - has played many a role in many a game. What a great depth player to be able to call upon as and when required.
Schultz - plenty of upside from his 2024 performance, as he showed when at Fremantle.
Markov kept Noble out of the Grand Final side, and apparently we made a mistake in trading out Noble?
Lipinski - hard running workhorse who is a great depth player.
Perryman - let's see what he can produce.
But my point is, we were apparently cooked after 2021, and 4 of the players you labelled spuds were brought into the team at that point and are premiership players...
It's a cool story . I'm sure those 2 in an open market would be top 10 material.
Your own supporters don't like them, yet here you are...
Do you work for Collingwood Forever magazine doing player profiles? Comedy central, but it sells hope. Good write up

Wrong again Worm.
12 wins, 2 draws, 10 losses. Less losses than Carlton

More than happy to have 23 of the worst premiership players of all time in the one premiership team.
Now, who can we label as Carlton's worst premiership player of recent times?
Hmmmm....
You convinced me. Well doneWrong again Worm.

If Markov is getting games in 2025 , then Collingwood is well and truly cooked..
Famous Collingwood saying - "Markov can Farkov" all over bigfooty. He is not liked at all amongst his own

Mitchell's 2023 GF was his 7th most recent game of footy.
Curnow's last good game was his 7th most recent, by comparison
Frampton what a lovely pick-up he's been. Plugged holes in key defence and ruck when we were injury affected in 2023, then donned the shirt as the club won the grand final. Deserved every piece of his medal. Did exactly what good depth is supposed to.
I'm not huge on Lippa but he is statistically dead level with Elijah Hollands who is supposedly a top 10 player at Carlton. Elijah is younger and should probably have a better career, but the bar is pretty low.
McStay has effectively only played 18 games for Collingwood and is kicking 1.64 goals a game playing forward. Good player who hasn't yet got going. Schultz will only improve in his second year where he's not being forced to play as a pseudo tall.
Lots to look forward to at Collingwood next year

You are using accolades won as evidence for how players have peaked? Daicos won the AFL coaches award - so does that now mean he has peaked or is it reasonable to suggest that players don't just stop improving after winning an award?
On the specific players you have mentioned Curnow, McKay, Weitering, Walsh and Cerra are all good players with still areas to keep developing. Genuinely laughable to think that Walsh and Cerra prior to 25 have played their best football. As an added note this was not Weitering's best year but it was McKay's best year and yet Weitering won an award and McKay didn't showing they are meaningless as a metric for this topic.
We didn't have Docherty in 2024 so that is a bonus for 2025 with his on field leadership and versatility. Saad didn't have his best year but had arguably his career best year in 2023 and there is no reason why he can't get back to that. McGovern as well still has room for improvement as we build cohesion with that back 6 which has largely been disrupted the last few years. And on top of that Cripps at the age of 28 proved this year that despite being one of the best players in the game you can continue to make significant improvements to your game - in his case his outside game was that area in 2024.
Nope.
Just all factual.
You do realise you guys are bagging out key players from a premiership list, whilst at the same time trying to talk up your own list (who haven't gotten near contending for a premiership, let alone won one).
Maybe you should actually have a closer look at how Collingwood go about it, and see how it's done properly...
You can finally have him when we are finished with him and delist him. He can be your first premiership player since Dale Thomas
I don't think a trade can happen after round zero , so looks like you are stuck with him for a while longer . Happy to swap Fantasia if it makes you happy
They won't be happy when they find out who Alex Condon is, and that he can play footy. Hope he goes well in the NBA draft, but he's got a nice fall back option.Nick Daicos, Bobby Hill, Beau McReery, Isaac Quaynor, Harvey Harrison, Pat Lipinski, Oscar Steene, Ed Allan, Tew Jiath, Will Parker.

Tom McGuane can find a football too, and we can't wait for him. Can't wait for Iliro Smit to make a name for himself too.

For us, Collingwood is a bit of a sidequest rather than the main mission.
We certainly don't like them, but we don't think about them all that often. The thoughts & knowledge are more fleeting than anything - like, Worm would've thought - 'yeah collingwood prob lost more than won, cbf checking, it's not that important to me'.
Whereas I'm fairly sure you guys have gathered in Olympic Parks basement in since the 80's, dissecting every Carlton player past & present, from their average disposal tally to their passport numbers, surrounded by a wall covered in newspaper-clippings of Carlton-bashing articles, & reporting of the salary cap scandals. Sunlight is scarce whilst a shrine dedicated to Fadge sits front & center, while his disciples kneel before it to pray before starting the days activities.

Carlton have had a decent list since 2022.
Carlton failed in 2022 to make finals, being kicked out by the Pies in the last few minutes of the last game of the season.
Carlton made finals in 2023 and made it to a prelim that they should have gone on to win.
Carlton finished 8th in 2024, on the same points as Collingwood with % separating the 2. If Collingwood won only 1 of their 2 draws for the year (F**ing umpire in the Freo game), they would have knocked out Carlton again.
Carlton are a mentally fragile team.
They should finish above the Pies in '25 but will collapse again at some point.

Prefer premiership experience if it is an option. Will keep Markov
Hey brother, right now, who would you pick to play in your side Mitchell or Curnow ?
