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

[CarmenSandiego]

That could explain why we have a more based opinion of your team than you do.
What's your prediction for your team in the next 2 seasons?

5th-8th next year for us.

2026 too hard to predict, who knows who will be good/bad. Still reckon a Brisbane dynasty is on the cards and everyone else is playing for 2nd.

This post perfectly sums up the Pies experience in this thread in 24'. Lots of excuses and lots of "ifs".

You seem to forget that in the last 3 years, we've gone from sacking a coach, a president leaving and a racism scandal, to a caretaker president employing a new coach who went to a prelim in his first year, missing out by a bee's dick in playing in a granny, to winning the league in his 2nd year. Compare the last 3 years for each team.

What's Carlton's excuse?

 

[CarmenSandiego]

Are you insinuating that he has forgotten how to play football?

Fair enough. I know when I don't ride my bike for a while, I have to learn again with training wheels

He is 32, missed a full year with injury & was dropped before getting injured.

“You can't treat people like fools. He's been dropped.”

It's highly unlikely he will get back to his best at this point in his career.

What has that got to do with what I said? This thread was about 2024 (and now 2025).

Shhhh.

You're only allowed to talk about 2024 and 2025 in this thread.

You'll be told off....

When you reply to a post normally you stick to the same topic as that original post... no?

He was subbed off because he has foot troubles and couldn't run on the night. We needed to inject speed to get back into the game.

Came back into the side and played good games against Hawthorn and Port in wins before the foot finished his season. He's a fine rotation option for us in 2024.

We don't need him back at his Brownlow Medal winning best.

We just need him to play his role, like he did magnificently in 2023.

And doesn't David King look the fool, given Mitchell's injury was that bad, he ended up missing the remainder of the season with it.

See, Carlton aren't the only club with injury issues...

 

[Ctracks]

Fadge taking lessons from the experts ?

The experts in selling hope are Carlton.

Ooh.

Seems I've hit a nerve...

Cowardly anonymous internet troll seeks hostile reaction, shock horror. Get a job dude.

Would you believe me if I told you Mitchell has as many 3 goal finals campaigns in his career as Charlie Curnow

To answer Worm4's question since he didn't clarify whether it would be for a finals or H&A game, I would take Tom Mitchell in a finals game.

Don't think Tom will play in another final but good luck to that

Told ya Eddie Van Halen

Has Eddie joined the circle ?

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Geez, that's a low bar for what's considered young.

Lipinski is 27 next year!! If he had a Carlton jumper on you'd say he's past his prime.
Hill - 25
Quaynor - 25
Mcreery - 24

This Oscar Steene bloke hasn't even played a game! Jiath has played 1, Allen played 2.

This is a ridiculous list and you know it.

Fair point about Lipinski but not the others.
See that first name on my list. If I just stopped at that it still beats your list of youngsters hands down.

 

[Worm4]

You guys are just dumbasses about everything

What was your prediction for Carlton 2024 again ?

 

[Worm4]

Fair point about Lipinski but not the others.

Bobby "brownlow " Hill ?
He is a one trick pony who wastes a lot of opportunities. Has played 1 good game ( normy) and plenty of average games at best

 

[Worm4]

And a genuine 7 footer.
Steene and Smit both looking likely at this stage.

As likely as Harry Lemmey

Yeah, just the lazy one good game - a best on ground in a Grand Final.

You might also want to check out his 2023 Qualifying Final whilst you're at it.

We are up to 2 then. Jolly good

So, if the cut-off for 'young' is 25yo, then Carltons young players include Walsh & TDK - both premier players of the comp.

 

[Fadge]

Two pretty handy games to have career best games in....

Should we hereby refer to him as the 'Anti-Curnow'?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Nick Daicos, Bobby Hill, Beau McReery, Isaac Quaynor, Harvey Harrison, Pat Lipinski, Oscar Steene, Ed Allan, Tew Jiath, Will Parker.
It's better than your young group

Half those players struggle to shine in the VFL lmao Tew Jiath and Oscar Steele

We may as well have included our Irish import Rob Monahan who can barely bounce the ball
