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

[Arr0w]

Do Pie supporters have any form of analysis that isn't based on "the past is indicative of the future"?

 

[JustaBattler]

Indeed.

In the same way we're meant to be spending our 4th consecutive season in the bottom 4, experiencing Carlton like levels of mediocrity.

Remember when we were a being told that?

I've never banished Collingwood to bottom 4 status for 1 year let alone 4 - everyone knows your dirty bird mob were tanking - just another #dirtybird cheating strategem..

what I do know is that your mob's playing list is going to go down in terms of performance potential relative to other teams over the next few years rather than up - just natural cyclical event on the near horizon - during which time you can reminisce about the good old days...

If or when ? Which one is it ?

My tip a * win.

As much as it pains me to choose either!

 

[Fadge]

Pretty sure the ledger is in the positive on the wins/losses since I was born

Are you sure about that?

That would be an interesting analysis....

How old would a Carlton supporter (over the age of 5 years old) need to be to have witnessed a positive win/loss record?

Let me get out my abacus...

Let me get out my abacus...

32 years in the positive and 20 years in the negative, and 1 squared - pretty comfortable knowing I'm right. Wouldn't worry about your abacus

I had never been on the main board outside of probably 5-10 posts since I’ve been on here as a member and then I discovered this thread. Funny as shit at times.

It’s good value.

Some solid trolling and decent banter without any Richmond dolts stinking it up.

As enjoyable as it was to watch Carlton embarrass themselves over the last quarter century, it got a bit stale. Here’s hoping both teams (except Carlton) stay competitive at the same time for a bit.

Kinda nice having some semblance of a rivalry this century.

If thats the position your club finds itself in for 2024, don't blame me. Blame your club

But we are currently 6th. Stick to reality of where we are on the ladder please.

We aren't 13th, this was merely a troll by you.

Ok.

Tanking after trading out our first rounder was 4D chess. Someday the strategem will be clear to you, and you will be awed my dull-witted friend.

 

[BennyGFunk]

Blah blah blah.
Pies have the same amount of wins as 13th. Sucks to be you

Carlton- outright 2nd
Pies - equal 13th

So can we all stick to reality then ? Not sure what part of Collingwood being 1 game clear of 13th is not factual but

Despite its limitations, it’s likely a superior form of analysis than your multi-verse hypotheses imagining second year players are actually first year players whilst playing for different clubs.

Haven't you heard? They're loaded with cap space, whatever list trouble they're finding themselves in, they'll buy their way out of it.

It's the Essend- I mean Collingwood way.

Ooh....

Only just.

If you've been watching AFL/VFL since 1980, you move into positive territory.

Well done!

So are we 6th or 13th? You should probably go off to form a work-group, decide amongst yourselves, and come back once you’re all on the same page.

Dangerous territory for Blues supporters to bring up buying ones way out of trouble…

Not terribly great reading for pies fans if they were born in 1995. 16 positive 12 negative and 1 squared.

That's the joke.

Earlier in this thread the Pies fans dismissed any incoming list management concerns as they have cap space to burn & essentially get whoever they want. Something they've given Carlton shit for (rightfully) for a decade.

We've grown out of it, whilst we all know Essendon are just going to recruit Stringer/Smith/Saad/Shiel all over again, and Collingwood might follow suit.

They haven't got a 1st round pick lol, will finish in the bottom 6 and Freo will get the chocolates.

You'll get the hang of this in time mate.

What about 1/2 game from 3rd?

1/2 game is closer then 1 game.

Agree ?

Geez brown paper bags haven't been mentioned in this thread before.

ahhh fresh meat for the mincer introducing himself with a common mix of pasted prose and inflated sense of self worth - stick around for more than a day and make a post worthy of more than passing snig ger and I will get to you - bring your abacus friend but check the batteries aren't flat like COllingwood's current and future form is and will be.

They never mention the death riding. It's like taboo in pie land. And then when teams are up and about , the sook like little babies about how many first rounders a team has got playing for them.
It's grouse

Was more referring to the four times you’ve been caught cheating by breaching the salary cap, either side of 1995* - but surely you were only cheating in the years leading up to it and afterwards, not in that one year right in the middle…

Anywho, buying our way out of trouble won’t replace our outgoing players, but a few FA acquisitions, trades and internal development could well do the trick. I suppose we shall see.
