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

[carlton_99]

It shouldn’t have been a free in the first place.

Can't tell from that view if it was knocked out in the tackle (not a free) or just dropped after prior (is a free).

Nice cope attempts Carlton fans.
We are top 4 and the same wins as you guys.
This despite a dreadfully start and premiership hangover and the worst injury list in the comp.
Wonder what will happen when we actually get our act together.

You’ve played 1 more game than us & your mob has a BYE next week.

IF Port win today, you will be 4th & us 3rd (%)

Hang on, have we found something we agree on?

The core of the problem is the way the rules are written. I'd hate to be an umpire, it's impossible for four umpires to consistently apply/interpret the rules.

The rules need to be simplified; it's the only way.

The first thing I'd do is remove the deliberate/insufficient intent rule.

There really is a first time for everything

I partially agree about your comment on the rules and am especially against mid-season rule changes. I was completely shocked that they chose to change the HTB interpretation this season and I think it has hurt our game. But there are so many other rules that have been the same for so long and they are still making simple mistakes that impact games.

If they can't even get goal reviews right where they have the benefit of as many replays as they want I am not expecting any improvement in on-field umpiring any time soon.

I still don't recall a dubious goal review call in the second quarter - you realise it has to be a clear mistake to overturn the umpire's decision?

What is happening here?

That would be up there for me, after the stand rule...

My goal review comment wasn't about this game specifically - was just talking generally. But the one I am talking about was the Crisp (I believe) snap which looked like it was touched by Scott's right hand.

5th, but nice try.

Unless you can share a ladder that shows otherwise?

After finals we finished 3rd, prior to that we finished 5th H&A, even though you predicted we would finish 11th

Indeed nice try

But you cleaned up on your wagers right?

I remember the one now, but it was nowhere near conclusive enough to overturn.

This is the only ladder I can find:

Unbelievable how good Collingwood are!

What a team! What a club! And what a GOATcos!

 

[Aphrodite]

It took Carlton four quarters to beat North by 50+ points. We did it in less than a half. 2-1 and a bye in a month where we had to pick 1/3 of the side from VFL grade players ain't as bad as I was expecting, and with the schizophrenic form of every team from about 3rd down, there's a glimmer of hope. We may be waiting until the last week or two of the season again to settle this year's all important question.

You beat the 18th team by 1 point!

Good try

 

[hoss]

How about a side with half of the VFL players playing against you, at home. You blokes aren't in the Collingwood and Carlton league so just move on

I agree with that but I'm entitled to my opinion in any case. Don't really give a shit about two entitled VFL club and their supporters dick measuring contest. Not sure how I got sucked into this crap thread.

How long until Naicos requests a trade home?

 

[manicpie]

Too much meaningless back and forth. Let's go back to one week at a time. We're both in this up to our eyeballs

 

[manicpie]

How long until Naicos requests a trade home?

I'm not sure you guys could handle his greatness

 

[carlton_99]

I remember the one now, but it was nowhere near conclusive enough to overturn.

Looked like his finger on his right hand bent back to me

Finished 3rd after finals and you handed back all your winning going double or nothing on predicting us missing finals

Mug gambler

 

[Juddernaut08]

good on pies but heck what a heartbreaking choke for the north supporter base. so so useless

 

[Arr0w]

Enough frivolity, still ahead of the Pies with a game in hand

Outta here

Of course it’s the only ladder you could conveniently find & it’s the H&A season ladder NOT including finals!

 

[Noidnadroj]

I think the Pies will be better, as whilst both teams get regularly favourable umpiring, nobody comes close to the umpiring received by Naicos and the Pies. That non-HTB call late on Naicos, no goal review, no 50m penalty .. it’s actually hard to lose with umpiring like that.

Only till the weekend though

Sorry but had to pull this one out… we’re still higher on the ladder therefore we are better

 

[Fadge]

So find me a ladder that has Carlton finishing third?

If it's a fact there should be one available?

When a team finishes first AND wins the premiership, there's no room for doubt...
