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

[carlton_99]

Who ?how

Mate, do you know any Carlton players?

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Who ?

You’ll find out very soon

 

[Fadge]

You guys picked freeman and scharenberg and passed on Cripps. How are those 2 going for you??

Given the Pies have won as many flags as Cripps has played finals series since that draft, not bad...

Pick 16 and 46 for Stephen O'Reilly who played 12 games, who you had to pay illegally outside the cap. Then he blew the whistle on you, after which you got fined and got kicked out of multiple drafts.

All in all - Stephen O'Reilly for: Pick 16, pick 46, $1m fine, pick 1, 2, 17 and 33 in the 2003 draft, pick 1 in the 2003 PSD, 1st and 2nd round picks in the 2004 draft, plus blowing a multi-million dollar investment in Pagan.

Schultz an absolute bargain in comparison.

Wow - you have to go back to Stephen O’Reilly - haha!

Our recruiters must have done an amazing job

PS - Schultz is

Omg 2nd rounder & a future first!!!

That’s hilarious - didn’t realise it was that bad.

Future first likely pick 10 - wowee!

Carlton's recruiters have done a really amazing job since the O'Reilly trade....

For the benefit of the other 17 clubs in the competition.

Do those guys still play?

You'll know your team more intimately, but I'll have a crack at your bottom 8 based on last weeks team:

Cowan, Hewett, O Hollands, Owies, Fantasia, Kennedy, Kemp, Fogarty

What's your take? Is that close to the mark?

Despite a few of them not being accurate what exactly is wrong with them? You guys won a flag with spuds like Frampton, McCreery, Hoskin-Elliot, Mitchell, Markov, Murphy, Ginnivan and Cox. Are any of them considerably better than those you listed?

Every team in the comp has role players, players like Fogarty and Kennedy are never going to be AA stars but they play a vital role in the team and are by no means substandard players.

Have you heard of the Butterfly Effect?

Unfortunately, whilst both could play, their bodies weren't up to it. There's only so long strong clubs carry injury prone players on their list, so they exit and open up list spots for eventual premiership players.

If you go back to my original post, I’m not saying your bottom 8 are a bag of spuds, just that I think they may be susceptible in the heat of finals. Time will tell.

Mate, do you know any Carlton players?

Yeah, Kouta and Christou

 

[beerbandit]

Clearly the gift that keeps on giving.

From a marketing POV it’s brilliant - you keep bringing it up after all.

Yeah, Mick even burnt the snags that day.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Well, I do confess to finding it a breath of fresh air to actually having something to banter about. Got a bit boring for a few decades there to constantly be requested to smell what you were cooking whilst you won a record number of wooden spoons. All off the back of being caught cheating mind you, with the investigation conveniently focussing on the years shortly after you won the flag* (you were also caught cheating the year before the premiership* too) - think I can smell something there...

On topic as per your wishes, we've got you covered in finals. Hence, my projection is we will ultimately be better

1990 fined for cap cheating.

We have a couple of those - Collingwood could do worst than take them on.

Your talents drops away quickly after the top 5.

 

[carlton_99]

Yeah, Kouta and Christou

Ah yeh they were only delisted last year

Who are Collingwood's top 5?

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Mick was never that hands on.

Right... so just the vibe then?

Most of them went just fine last year in their first finals run...

Fantasia Owies and O.Hollands all imo replaced by returning players in Martin Motlop and Cottrell who all showed they're fine under the heat of finals last year.

Martin Hewett Motlop Kemp Kennedy Fogarty Cowan Cottrell

Seems like a fairly good 'bottom 8'

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Who are Collingwood's top 5?

Naicos, Jaicos, Degropey, Elliot and Crisp. The rest are bog ordinary this year.

Correct me then campaigner. Looking forward to u listing 2024 spuds - Daisy Moore, Issac Quaynor and Figjam Hill

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Who are Collingwood's top 5

Bobby H
Pendlebury (*)
DeGoey
Quaynor
Howe

Special mention to Nick Daicos -
Showing promise. Could be harder at it!

(*) can’t exclude this bloke, not what he used to be, but a brilliant player over 400 games.

Stop derailing the thread!

Can’t help it if Carlton are above you on the ladder…looking a lock on top 4, whilst the wobbles are hanging on…
Go Blues.

I'm not the fool who stated Collingwood's talent drops away after their top 5...

Premiership Captain, multiple AA clown to you

Weitering is a….. oh wait. Nothing.

And he’s been rightly called out for having a shit year…otherwise, again this image has nothing to do with 2024.
