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

[Corn Cobbers]

Only if you believe someone coming into this thread and telling lies.

Same guy who thought a missed touch decision today that ended in a goal to McKay altered the course of the game

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Carlton turn to be the inform team of the competition!

 

[Fadge]

Carlton turn to be the inform team of the competition!

And we all know how well they deal with expectation!

 

[The Fantom]

Always nice to see downhill skiers like Bont and Crippa have a hit out against the bottom 2 sides

When do WE get to play Richmond?

North Melbourne says hello.

 

[Thrawn]

And we all know how well they deal with expectation!

You'd better smash Essendon, because I am expecting you to do it!

 

[CarmenSandiego]

Had expectation all year, sitting pretty clear on 2nd after rd16 and comfortably putting away teams.

Maybe the group has matured? Funny how that can happen in sport.

Do you reckon ISAAC had any expectation with the cheersquad botching up his milestone banner .

Wonder how Fadge is dealing with his expectation of Carlton finishing 13th, or 16th or whatever the hell he thinks his prediction was pre season

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

With regards to the Pies and Bombers game it's a shame that both can't lose! Perhaps a draw is the best outcome?

I think we want a situation where both of these pretenders cancel each other out.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

All in due course, my friend.

As we are well versed, the home and away rounds are nothing more than qualifying for finals... then we find out who the contenders and pretenders are.

Will you even make the finals in the first place though?

You do need to win enough home and away games, to book that ticket for the finals after all!

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Why choose such a specific cut off date?

Do the same for 5 years?
10 years?
20 years?
30 years?
40 years?
50 years?
60 years?
70 years?
80 years?
90 years?
100 years?
110 years?
History of the competition?

No way I'd be swapping the ride I've been given as a Collingwood supporter over my lifetime, as would be the case for 80% of the population.

As someone else said on this thread, you prefer a ride that consists of more grand final defeats than victories?

Whatever floats your boat i guess. You Pies supporters are very easily pleased!

I'd prefer the ride that has my team winning as many games of football as possible.

And I support the club which has:
The equal most premierships;
The most Grand Final appearances;
The most finals wins;
The most games won;
11 years as the longest stretch between Grand Final appearances (1991 to 2001);
7 years as the longest stretch between finals appearances (1995 to 2001), winning minimum 7 games in all bar one of those seasons;

Regardless of how old you are, you've had a great bang for your buck as a Collingwood supporter.

You forgot to mention most grand final defeats, and you also forgot to mention that you are the only team to lose to the Saints in a grand final as well!

In St Kilda's premiership year, Carlton didn't even make the finals are were beaten by them by 53 points in their home and away match.

What does that say about Carlton?

We got over it. We did win the flag two years later. It took the Pies though almost a quarter of a century to get over 1966!

Oh no, 'almost a quarter of a century'....

Imagine that?

 

[beerbandit]

Looking very good are you Blues.

Premiership favourites I think now are Carlton.

Anything but a flag from here will be regarded as an absolute disaster and one of the greatest chokes of the modern era.

Not to mention sucking the 'moral' out of Richmond players...

Fadgey didn’t count on someone doing their own research. We beat St Kilda later that same year

I need to stop myself here because imagine being so petty as to bring up a random Carlton vs St Kilda home and away result from nearly 60 years ago. They’ve beaten us 59 times in our history and we got over every single one of them. Why? Because none were in a Grand Final.

Losing to the Saints this year has got to be one of the biggest chokes so far. You must sit back and reflect and think how in the hell

No the Swans are still flag favourites i think.

Yeah - we win by 61 points.

Must have been a dead rubber for St Kilda.

In a match in June, against 17th...

 

[Arr0w]

Carlton the equivalent of a 3 game lead, glorious
