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

[South of the Yarra]

And wins against the Giants, Suns, Cats, and Bombers who you have failed to beat ofc

Edit: And the Dockers!

And we have beaten Carlton twice, whom you have failed to beat.

 

[Arr0w]

If they want to get fairdinkum, the need to cut loose Marchbank, Martin, Cunningham , Young , both Durdins, and one of Williams or Fantasia.
These player types that are always injured for a good half season each one of them - can bugger off. Its not as if there any any world beaters amongst that group.

Number 1 area that needs to be addressed, injury prone types need to be cut by half as a minimum end of this year

 

[Arr0w]

And we have beaten Carlton twice, whom you have failed to beat.

So it goes on ladder position, that stance hasn't changed in this type of thread in 3 seasons

Carlton have beaten themselves a few times this year actually. But facts are facts

 

[Corn Cobbers]

I keep asking but no one provides evidence.

There's no need as you have provided the evidence

You say finishing position matters year by year but not historically

Or something

 

[Corn Cobbers]

So it goes on ladder position, that stance hasn't changed in this type of thread in 3 seasons

How is ladder position relevant to anything? Are you suggesting that a team that finishes higher has performed better? And therefore that the historical aggregation of ladder positions sorted from 1st onwards would determine the best performed team over history?

No, haven't suggested any of that

This thread and the previous 2, are merely a side show of who finishes higher than the other

 

[beerbandit]

I will use it in a sentence.

"Carlton will shitton Collingwood this weekend"

Wrong again Wormy!

Carlton shittoned the bed again!

 

[Corn Cobbers]

What a rubbish answer

The salt is glorious

Ok it's been rich, thanks for playing

 

[eddiesmith]

You know what I was honestly thinking?

'If this goes through, the roofs will be lifted off of these grandstands'.

Even though I would assume Collingwood supporters outnumbered Carlton supporters due to Pendlebury's 400th, you blokes were so much louder as a result of more than two decades of pent up misery and frustration, and the noise when Carlton got to within a kick was deafening.

As the whinging Carlton supporter behind me stated - it was season on the line stuff. Kick it and top 4 likely/top 2 within reach.

Miss and improbable that you make top 4 now.

Alas, it wasn't to be...

You still had a Carlton supporter next to you? The 4 next me were so soft they left at the 20 minute mark

 

[Fadge]

Just building nicely for the next couple of years. Thanks for asking

'Next year'...

 

[Worm4]

I'm watching a bit of the hammerthrow on 9now. Clearly no weight restrictions in this event. Sorry for being off topic..

Number 1 area that needs to be addressed, injury prone types need to be cut by half as a minimum end of this year

We have a few of those. De Goey this year, Mcstay for his entire 2 years with us, and the older boys like Howe, Sidey and Cox all spend time out.

There's room for classy blokes who can guest star for some important games.

It's a fairpoint though bad we're prolly in the same boat with a few too many.

 

[Fadge]

The 2022 Blueshake was a great vintage, will be hard to top.

The 2024 Blueshake needs additional losses to Hawks and Saints to be in same class.

Who is a 2024 Blueshake believer?

Speaking of Blueshakes, I went out for some impromptu Italian tonight and they had Blue Heaven Milkshakes on the menu.

I couldn't resist.

This is exactly what I've been saying about Carlton for the last 5 years.

Good to see you finally catching on.

Not just this year. Perhaps this century.

Interesting question.

Given we've been told ad infinitum 'flags are all that matters'...

You do struggle

Maybe another sabbatical would help you

None of the players you have mentioned have been that injury prone in the past

A guy like Marchbank has been in the casualty ward since he was 16

Dumb list management

 

[caloschwaby]

4 Disposals
1 goal from a mark that wasn't a mark
1 goal from a free kick that was a flop.

Big game player!

Great point, imagine how good Carltank would be if they had a forward who got an armchair ride from umpires like this!

Not even in my dreams unfortunately.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Take a deep breath.
We got smashed in the ruck and our forwards didn't fire yet only lost by a kick. The list is still a work in progress from when Voss took over 2 years ago. We will be okay. All is not lost

Isn’t this season 3 with him at the helm?

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Bit unfair on Cripps who's trying to drag the entire midfield on his own.

What happened to Walsh?

 

[Thrawn]

What happened to Walsh?

I think he's carrying a back injury and is too stubborn to admit it/rest up.
