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

Old Owen Sixty

Has anyone ever been Owen sixty in a final? Surely new low ground

I missed that being overseas at the time.

Tell me, did they wear the Blues Brothers outfits.

I actually missed the game as well.

As did Carlton, it seems...

What about this year

Oh look, Brisbane finished 5th on that official AFL ladder.

Can you send through the Carlton fan pretend updated ladder that has Brisbane in 1st?

All the good clubs - 'Anyone, any time, anywhere'.

Carlton - 'We want out of Opening Round because we want to maximise our pre-season, and ensure we get off to a soft start against Richmond'.

Your entire supporter base wanted to get rid of opening round . All of a sudden, it's anywhere anytime ( of course unless it's September in 2024)

Let's all pretend that Sydney won the flag shall we ?

 

[doppleganger]

Yeah, sorry. Forgot about that amazing season you had...

Getting Brisbane in opening round when they hadnt woken up yet, another gift given to Carlton.

Hadn't lost a game in Brisbane since late-2022 but yes "gifted" whilst Collingwood get away games against the Saints at the G'

For the first 55 minutes they were wearing Harry Potter invisibility cloaks I reckon. Or maybe they just weren't there yet.

I don't think a week makes a difference and certainly does not explain performance across the season given the Lions just won a flag.

Lions went 2-5 in March/April

Then they went 16-3 - Collingwood, GWS and Hawks the only teams to beat them once they built into the season.

Brisbane were gunning for a flag, unlike Carlton, they didnt give a fats rats clacker about winning opening round.

Yes I bet they went out there to lose - especially after getting 46 points ahead

Very cute seeing the Geelong and Hawthorn thread.

Does lack something in the aggression/ point scoring doesn’t it

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Pies going all in bringing in Houston & Perryman to improve their list.

Carlton have shed quite a number of fringe depth players to bring in younger talent with 2 decent picks.

Reckon Pies finish ahead of Blues next season & assume they should have an easier draw.

 

[Crankyhawk]

At the point that you had 12, 14 and your F1 and F2? Everything you did from that point was to get pick 3 wasn't it?
Feel free to provide info, make suggestions rather than just critique and ask more questions.

Probably already answered but they had 12, f1, f2; swapped f1, f2 for our 14

Which means Carlton have to play in a Grand Final to break even on that deal.

I suspect you're pretty happy with that arrangement as a Hawks supporter?

I'm jealous that they get to death-ride the Blues all year

You got a point there., we usually play Carlton twice and thats always 2 wins for us.
