Banter Who will be better in 2024? Carlton or Collingwood? Part 2

[Arr0w]

Yep just like we've won a squillion more finals than you

You really do struggle

And right back to the start, still on 16 a piece and took you 4 decades just to draw even

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Yesterday it was about flags, today it's winning finals, the High SpArr0w doesn't know what he's doing from day to day lol

 

[JustaBattler]

Of course....

'Let's not go there, it's beyond my intellectual capacity. But I will attempt to belittle anyone that does....'

You are being harsh but accurate about yourself here Fudgey.

You poor little Swallow

It is ALWAYS about winning flags corny - in Essendon's case though it is about winning 'a' final.

 

[Worm4]

im so happy for you and all your Carlton mates winning all those finals in the last 20 years e.. really raced ahead in the premierships tally

Just like Aarow, looks like youre stuck in the past counting days. #RentFree#rentfree

Bombers would be sitting on top of the tree with 17 if not for the biggest choke in finals history. Pies should be thanking us

Yep just like the Bombers who you've made zero ground on despite their finals win drought am I doing this right Wink-Boy?

Well you are the emoji

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Well you are the emoji

Well you are the wink

"You struggle" followed by a wink, with no explanation

The High SpArr0w has spoken, it must be true

Mediocre clubs like Carlton and its supporter base cheers on mediocre results like a first week finals win.


I dunno about you but i remember winning the last match of the season not some game in first week of finals. OF course you need to win that first week of finals but as the saying goes, if you ain’t first, your last

Enjoy how you are now playing the poster, kicking off with the sparrow routine, just another sign of you struggling

But as always I will respond in kind little swallow

 

[Arr0w]

Who will be better in 2024? Carlton or Collingwood?

So far, Carlton

Where has Mr Meow been since Friday night? Have barely heard a peep despite the game going pretty much exactly as we predicted.

Let alone Mr Tilly lol

I'm just responding to YOU playing the poster, which you do all day every day tiny struggling sparrow

 

[Cyclops]

I think this was covered already, but the story goes that the Pies payed off some of the Blues players to throw the game i think.

South. The story is from Carlton.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

The Pies are in the old news spot, they won last year and the media move on a bit.

To be sitting 4th, and if they just kick straight twice would be second (bit simplistic ) , with their injury list is pretty awesome.

Players coming back and well positioned to go back to back.

Carlton and Sydney both flavour of the month, but Pies in a good spot here imo.

If they did play a final Blues and Pies week one would be massive for the comp .

Rubbish - the media are all over The Dirty Birds, always have and always will be.

They are simply fostering other click bait opportunities with others until the next story comes along.

The hysteria around their 1 point “win” over the lowly Kanga’s a case in point.

The fact is The Dirty Birds have been average so far this year. There’s not much positive to say.

Offer still stands, happy to discuss footy, but troll or play the poster and I'll respond in kind

 

[Fadge]

It is ALWAYS about winning flags corny - in Essendon's case though it is about winning 'a' final.

And up until last year, for Carlton it was all about 'qualifying for a final'.

How was the emotion and tears of joy from the Carlton supporters and players last year when they'd finally secured their place in the 2023 finals series?

It was rather cute.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Huh?

It's called a forecast, in the same manner as the AFL would be forecasting their attendance figures.

Unless you believe otherwise?

do you have the statistical models to rigorously forecast with confidence too? Wow. You must be a good mathematician and handy with coding.

Is that your way of saying FMD Carlton did well last year and will probably do even better this year?

 

[JustaBattler]

if you ain’t first, your last

Agreed - except it is 'you're' not 'your'.

 

[Fadge]

Is that your way of saying FMD Carlton did well last year?

Carlton did well last year, by qualifying for a finals series?

I guess so. It is Carlton, after all....

2024 Fadge, try and stay on track

 

[Gone Critical]

Nope equal on 16 Premierships with Carlton & Essendon & took your mob 28YRS to catch up.

As for most Grand Finals, lost an all time record 27 Grand Finals!



Talk about imagining

Agree flags are the ultimate measure but Carlton supporters problem is you have to play with other measures to stay in the discussion.

For younger Carlon supporters, and here i am thinking the 50 year olds and younger, its pretty well a straight out conclusion. It has sucked to follow the Blues. It was an unfortunate choice. The 5 spoons in 20 something years. Something akin to the last couple of decades of Fitzroy or South before their demise except those 2 were not as proficient at picking up spoons even in their death throes. Supporting an irrelevent club has demoralised the under 50 baggars.

For the older types they have something to lean back on. Like an old couch with pointy springs sticking into your bum its become less and less comfortable. The wasted decades of support have left most old baggar mates of mine shells of their once arrogant selves.

Face it, even a Pie like me , born in 1960, wouldnt dream of swapping the ride Pie supporters have had compared to the Blues over my lifetime. For a lot of time i was envious of your ride but thats long gone.

Equal on flags yes but give me contention and relevency over becoming hang dogs anyday. Perhaps the most beautiful thing has been the combined overflowing joy of Carlton becoming a Fitzroy/ South imitation while we remain the biggest team in the land. I love the karma bus
