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

[Irish BlueBagger]

We've finished top 20 times for 16 flags, so we've left 4 on the table imo, not appalling but could do better

The Pies have finished top of the ladder more times than any other club to be fair. Thankfully the season doesn't end at the conclusion of the home and away fixtures though!

It’s ok, you are scared to answer a simple question of whom has more wins and more finals wins, GIF away!

Maggies have won 16 out of 45 GFs (win rate of around one third)

Carlton have won 16 out of 29 GFs (win rate of more than half)

Loser teams (eg Collingwood) fun fact: Magpies and Essendon are the only team with double digit flags to win less than half of their GFs

As far as i'm aware the Bombers won two flags without even playing in a grand final!

Your ignore things like being the only club to lose a grand final to St Kilda for example.

When you play in as many Grand Finals as Collingwood do, of course we're likely to lose to many different teams.

You do realise that in 1966, St. Kilda were not only a superior team to Collingwood, but also Carlton, and every other team in the competition at the time?

Pies have been extremely lucky to avoid us given your record of 1 from 6

Actually you've been avoiding us. Pies have made multiple GFs in every decade of the VFL/AFL except the 1890s and 1940s.

We always front up, your mob have been known to go missing for decades...especially since they cracked down on the rorts...

That's why they should technically be on 14

It's something i always like to mention to them.

Can you read? This is about 2024. Look at the ladder. So far you're lower and have been for all but 1 week this year.

Go Blues!

Just a quick summary for you Pies.

Oh, so under the countback system, the best teams in the history of the competition are:
1. Collingwood
2. Essendon
3. Carlton

Thanks for clarifying.

Lol some Pie fans actually think it does.

They deserved that flag but come on mate, they beat you with a last second behind!

To be fair, for Carlton, the season finishes at the end of the home and away season more often than not...

 

[Cyclops]

They won by the rules at the time, can't do more than that.

Lol some Pie fans actually think it does.

Not as an absolute measure, but as a tie-breaker...

We have 16 premiership cups, can Pies beat that?

 

[Arr0w]

These days... I expect to win every game by less than 10 points, regardless of opposition

Sticking with that until this run ends, been over 2 years now

I think it's a 50/50 game, although either side could win by 5 goals

Where's that vid of the Collingwood fans singing "Carlton are out of the 8" that was doing the rounds on Twitter.

We were out of the 8 for 1 week lol.

It is no picnic up there these days, expecting another uncomfortable afternoon

Pies need to win at least 6 of our last 9 to finish 4th, maybe 7

Win 6 and you'd make top 4 I think

You have some tough games back half

Still using the past as an indication of predicting the future

Yep it's an ugly draw, no dead rubbers for the Pies this year

It wasn't a prediction, it's a statement of fact.

Now stop stalking.

Mate you cannot post about Carlton all day every day then claim people are stalking you when they respond.

Do you want everyone to just ignore you? Weird form of trolling. Scraping now.

 

[Worm4]

Ah yes, I was going to ask that question when we play next just for clarification

 

[Arr0w]

Fact that it will continue? Please

How am I stalking when we are in the same thread?

Anyone can respond fadge, suck it up
