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

[The Fantom]

Pies

Reigning premiers and in better form than Carlton

Hilarious… you nearly lost your last game to the bottom team.

Interesting grab on Fox Footy last night re record V top 8 teams…

Carlton 8 games for 20pts

Collingwood 6 games for 12pts… which includes the draws.

10 of our last 11 games have been against teams who are or where in the 8 at the time.

And you’re in better form? Ummm ok.

Losses since Easter:

Collingwood 1
Carlton 4

Better form

Stick your "ladder positions", half the teams in the 8 currently will not be there in September

Did I miss something, did the season start in Easter? How about you stick the ridiculous timelines you pick to suit your narrative.

 

[Juddernaut08]

It was in response to a Carlton poster... having a MASSIVE whine about the draw.

Context.

According to the media, Carlton actually have had a tougher draw (2nd after GWS).

You're constantly whining despite having what the media have called an easier draw.

Anyway, regardless of draw. Carlton also have 2 more wins and a higher % than the Pies. Stop making excuses.

Carlton haven't played a team in the bottom 8 (at the time the game was played) since Round 5

Collingwood have only played bottom 8 teams (at the time the game was played) since Round 8.

I used the word "form" not "season"

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Collingwood have only played bottom 8 teams (at the time the game was played) since Round 8.

They're all worth the same 4 points

One loss since Easter , brilliant form

Wow wee… just looked their fixture, Collingwood will only win one more game for the season.

But surely if you are talking about form the quality of opposition should be taken into account

This Collingwood side just gets the job done, regardless of opposition, no fancy stuff

We'll find out pretty quickly if the form is real, starting with GC tmw night, undefeated at home

 

[Robertio]

Blues lost 4 games out of 6, how many premiers have done that?

I think we've played more than 6 games mate, just when i think you won't say anything sillier

Not doubting Pies form at all just a caveat in general

Not saying no one has ever won a flag after losing 4 games in a run of 6 within a season, I just don't remember anyone doing it

Very flaky stuff

Geez, first correcting spelling mistakes and now quoting the dictionary… this thread is really becoming and educational piece isn’t it.

“Current standard of play” hey.







So, the only logical application here is to refer back to the last games we played… You nearly lost to the bottom team and we had a 10 goal win against a top 8 team.

If we're flaky there are 16 teams below us still playing catch up.

 

[Juddernaut08]

A wooden spoon is just as symbolic a gesture as a premiership. Don't hide behind that fact man

Thought you had our back Yodes

Second on the ladder mate. Your definition of the word flaky sure is weird.

This time last year Port were 2nd on the ladder, Melb 4th, GWS 14th and Carlton 15th, how did that all end up?

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

and Carlton 15th, how did that all end up?

Doesn't that tell us that we're greatly improved from last year mate, and that we're right in the mix in regards to winning flags?

Losing 4 out of 6 definitely a great improvement on losing 8 out of 9 maybe next year you'll have a flag profile

I'll get back to you when you've learned how to construct a sentence properly.

 

[Call Me Cake]
