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

[Arr0w]

See, the thing about 2024 is that Carlton are having their best home and away season in more than two decades, whilst Collingwood are having about their 12th best season over the same time period.

Yet, Carlton are still miles behind the best team in the competition (Sydney), and will inevitably run into Collingwood at some stage of the finals series, which will likely determine who will be the better club this year.

It must be frustrating for Blues supporters who have waited more than two decades and approximately 40 single figure draft picks to get to this position, yet here Collingwood are again just doing what they have done for the majority of the 128 year history of the competition - positioning themselves to contend for a premiership.

Cute

Took 4 decades to equal our flag tally and 3 flags in 6 odd decades

When we finish higher than you this year, it's actually 2 each over the last 4 years

Must be frustrating for the Pies to be the perennial participant

Boy oh boy wowee

 

[Arr0w]

The salt levels are high, glorious

 

[Arr0w]

Suns must be seething with the reality check the copped

I really enjoy definite statements

 

[PerthBoy86]

Careful... the Carlton supporters don't like anyone talking about the past, and that's about as far back into ancient times as you can possibly go...

It's been a long time between drinks, wouldn't mind seeing their younger (heck anyone below my age really) see some success.

Complains about people not focussing on 2024 and instead continuing to bring up the past, by bringing up the past in response to a post about 2024.

What a hypocrite.

 

[Arr0w]

Even Pie trolls have become even more boring and predictable

Rent free

Yep, fully agree. Despite the salty and delusional Carlton supporters on this forum, I have a number of long suffering Carlton supporting friends who are long overdue to see some success from their team.

Love how you twist yourself in knot

Need some tequila?

Those where you went double or nothing and lost your so called winnings?

Oh my

 

[Arr0w]

My sides hurt

Has been pretty frustrating winning only 2 flags in the past 13 years, perennial participants

So... still 2 points out of 3rd spot, could have been a lot worse, fate is in our own hands

And I suppose at least they can rewatch their gf wins over the Pies .

That's very magnanimous of you.

Feel the same way about Freo. I actually hope they do win one soonish...sometimes.

Mate is positioning yourselves mean heading south on the ladder in Pie language?

Mate is positioning yourselves mean heading to Mexico?

Indeed.

Perennial participants (except when we win the flag).

And yet we saw tears from Carlton supporters in 2023 when they qualified for finals for the first time in a decade (despite not eventually 'participating' - aka contending).

 

[Worm4]

Absolute rubbish.

Creative accounting by a Carlton supporter? Who would have thought?

Since 2000, we have had a total of 13 top 10 draft picks in the national draft. Creative counting indeed. I over estimated. Oh dear...

'Heading south' - from 1st.

Is that really intended to be a gotcha?

Oh my.

So you ignore the retreads from GWS, etc. who were drafted into the AFL system as single figure draft picks?

Oh my.

No it wasn't intended mate just an answer to your weird post, remember you got done last night.

Collingwood have had 12 BTW in same time

We didn't draft them with single digits though did we?

 

[Worm4]

I didn't realise we had 27 top 10 draft picks from GWS - is that a fact ?

 

[bradfisher14]

Do you count Taylor Adams, Will Hoskin-Elliott and Adam Treloar?
