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

Wasn't Membrey just delisted from St Kilda?

Correct. What a steal.

Same goals per game this year as Max King, more than Lynch, van Rooyen, McDonald and Hipwood.

I'm waiting on his GOAT thread now.

Bernie Quinlan didn't really get going until he was 30, maybe Membrey is also on the doorstep of greatness

One thing in your favour, his one good game a year was always against Carlton.

Just watched 7 minutes of his highlights for a grand total of one overhead mark

You just listed a bunch of shit average players. Not much to write home about.

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

Don’t worry - it’s a right of passage for Oldiewood supporters

Of course, we do it every year, but Hawks will actually GAIN if the Blues go south, double joy

Schultz and Membrey

Why did they delist him?

Seriously if you're genuinely excited about a delisted free agent, you should probably just give up.

You shouldn't even have expectations of them at all, let alone relying on them to improve you.

They're a 'break glass in emergency' setup, not a best 22 hole-fixer.

Just another player capable of kicking 30 odd goals a year, or chiming in for 2 or 3 goals in a given game, pending opportunity, in our multi-faceted forward line.

He certainly would have been handy when McStay and Mihocek were both unavailable for weeks at a time last year.

That's how a list is built to contend for premierships.

As a West Coast fan, excitement over picking up delisted players is one of very few things we can look forward to.

Membrey would have been pretty handy in 2024 with Mihocek and McStay out for long periods, we're fixing a deficiency

Great minds.

I was updating my post to include that as you were writing it...

We get it, its just... A guy delisted, from St Kilda.

Granted he's good for any games played against Carlton, but not sure he's worth the salary just for that.

Aren't they the team that knocked you out of the finals? (for a few hours anyway)

Yes they were pretty happy after knocking over our VFL side.

See??!!! That's why depth is important so you never say stuff like that

 

[Worm4]

They love to punch down on St Kilda too. Just don't remind them that the Saints have been a significantly prouder and higher achieving club over the course of the century

Who did saints beat in their only grand final win ?

 

[carlton_99]

Just watched 7 minutes of his highlights for a grand total of one overhead mark

Surely 83% of those highlights were against Carlton

We had 26 available players for that game from memory - no amount of depth is saving you from that

You will need him when the pies play North Melbourne next season . Could be the difference between 4 points, and a loss

Some were available. Where were the Pies players? Cancun perhaps?
