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

[Fadge]

There's three teams above you on the ladder mate, reigning premiers mean you won the grand final last year that's all.

Sydney are clearly the best team in the comp at the moment, and by a margin, whilst neither of the other two teams above Collingwood have beaten us, so it's debatable that Carlton and Essendon are better than us.

As always though, all will be revealed in September...

Right now, Collingwood as reigning premiers are the team to be knocked off their perch.

They already have been.

Listen sonny boy get back to me when you beat a top 4 side, had an easy draw for the last 8 weeks, it's not how many wins it's about who you beat.

Are Carlton really about to play 17th placed Richmond for the second time this season on the weekend?

Guess how many times Collingwood have played Richmond?

carlton fans tend to go AWOL come that time of year, think thats why theyre always so up and about in june.

Line up who has played the most top 8 and top 4 sides next.

Hey we don't do the draw, not our fault if we haven't played the three other top 4 sides (Syd/Bris/Haw) recently

 

[carlton_99]

We'll let you guys postulate about the future given you haven't got much from recent history to get excited about.

We'll discuss reality.

No need to postulate about the future - I prefer to take it one game at a time and concern myself with the present. Still plenty of footy left this season

You haven't played any top 8 sides recently either and now 7 of the last 9 at the MCG and you'll all be saying you made the finals legitimately.

this dude really whining about the draw again? lol

It was in response to a Carlton poster... having a MASSIVE whine about the draw.

Context.

Juddernaut08 will not be happy with you whining about the draw...

Ah yes rather than looking at the draw in its totality you focus on one matchup to decide which draw has been more difficult.

Cheryypicking data at its best - Hoyney would be proud

 

[Arr0w]

We have played less bottom 8 sides than the Pies

Counter, we haven't played North yet, both teams won, one more convincingly than the other

He knows what I'm on about mate.

I've decided to start liking your posts as 19 thousand odd posts with less likes than posts is appalling.

I hope you're lolling

In any case, any team that finishes higher than it should gets found out pretty quickly in the finals, TWO straight sets exits last year as you would recall

Yep Pies will have a longer off season than last season.

Season starting in April next year?

 

[Arr0w]

Excluding the Swans, we have the best winning ratio against top 8 sides and have played 2 more games against top 8 sides compared to the Pies

We have also played 2 less games against bottom 8 sides

Yet, still a win ahead

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Blues vs top 8... 5-3


Carringbush... 2-2-2


Jeez thats ominous stuff from the Cooked Pies!!!

 

[The Fantom]

Great minds...

Now that has to be the funniest post in this thread

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Blues lost 4 games out of 6, how many premiers have done that?

 

[The Fantom]

Pies

Reigning premiers and in better form than Carlton

Hilarious… you nearly lost your last game to the bottom team.

Interesting grab on Fox Footy last night re record V top 8 teams…

Carlton 8 games for 20pts

Collingwood 6 games for 12pts… which includes the draws.

10 of our last 11 games have been against teams who are or where in the 8 at the time.

And you’re in better form? Ummm ok.
