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

[Arr0w]

No, you made a statement of fact NostrArr0wdamus

So for the record, you have no opinion on who will be better in 2024? In which case you cannot criticise anyone else's analysis or predictions

Of course I have us finishing higher

What about you Chester, do you have us finishing 16th like your inept mate?

 

[CCurnow3votes]

To confirm, when is the 15 years starting?

It's not starting in 2021, as we were reliably informed at the time?

And if it does occur, will you be there to guide us through re: how to cope with it, given your recent experience in being minnows for multiple decades at a time?

Actually, I'm sensing dejavu... I'm positive I had this same conversation with Carlton poster after the 2021 season...

Yes but there’s this thing called time you see & it doesn’t stop.

I’m assuming players the previous Carlton poster was referring to are now a few years older;

Pendlebury 36
Sidebottom 33
Howe 33
Cox 33
Elliott 31
Mihocek 31
Tom Mitchell 30
Crisp 30
Hoskin- Elliott 30

The next couple of years will see your very average drafting filling this gap - .

At least you’ve got your first draft pick this year to bring in a young gun!

Oh hang on!

 

[Robertio]

could easily be a collingwood carlton grand final if the pies find their best footy

You haven't seen their draw mate, 9th at best and that's only if they have a bit of luck.

 

[Aphrodite]

Can you imagine being a Carlton supporter and watching your team play in a Preliminary Final?

Can you imagine being a Collingwood supporter and watching your team lose another Grand Final!

Interesting.

We didn't even have Tom Mitchell at the end of 2021 when we were reliably informed we were in for a minimum of 5 years of Carlton like bottom 4 misery.

Apart from Pendlebury, which of those players listed are irreplaceable superstars?

Sorry, Pies are going to be around for a while yet, in the same way as we've been around to play in more than a third of all Grand Finals contested over the history of the game.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Blues definitely finishing higher on the ladder, still think the Pies can take the chockies though, finals are a different ball game

 

[Robertio]

2024.

Can any Carlton posters please tell me who the premiership contenders are?

Not Collingwood mate, the bookies have Carlton and Sydney.

 

[Worm4]

Just a question for pie fans - what's your favourite memory of playing Carlton in the grand final.
From our side, it could be the Harmes tap for instance. Is there anything that you remember that sticks out as a lasting memory from a positive point of view.

 

[Robertio]

I don't believe you.

Your peers have given Carlton supporters a bad name when it comes to honouring avatar bets.

Were there more than one old mate?

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Not sure how we could be playing any worse this year

Yet here we are just 2 points from 3rd

 

[Fadge]

Not Collingwood mate, the bookies have Carlton and Sydney.

So you're saying there are only two contenders for the 2024 premiership - Sydney and Carlton?

For prosperity, is that what you're saying?

Here’s an image of your list manager trying to fix the problem.

I think it might be too late!

With Tassie coming in it will take 10 years to replace them.

We all understand Carlton have to go that far back to regale about their glory years, but we Collingwood supporters have many more recent Grand Final memories.

Starting with GOATcos to De Goey....GOAL!

Give this man a lolly.

Frightening really.

Imagine how good we'll be once we have the Cavalry back at the business end of the season!

 

[Arr0w]

I don't believe you.

Your peers have given Carlton supporters a bad name when it comes to honouring avatar bets.

And you have given your supporters a bad name prior, by making predictions then avoiding avatar bets

And I thought your flags had black stripes

 

[Fadge]

Give this man a lolly.

Great. We'll see how it turns out...

Also interesting you're now willing to reference 'bookies odds'. JustaBattler won't like that.

Anyone else?

 

[Robertio]

Great. We'll see how it turns out...

No 17 to Carlton.

 

[Arr0w]

Anyway, another morning of Pie supporters struggling, glorious

It’s disappointing that Pendlebury is going to play his 400th game this year. It means Collingwood will feel less inclined to give him another contract since they won’t need to carry him to 400 games anymore.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

I'll go neither.

Thank you.

Weak as piss.

Keep talking the talk.

 

[Arr0w]

Wondering if that 80s peroxide mullet pie supporter is still driving buses and impersonating a Tigers supporter

 

[Arr0w]

Weak as piss.

Keep talking the talk.

Cowardly I'd say

Indeed.

He was really being carried when he had 12 possessions in the last quarter of the 2023 Grand Final, when he orchestrated a magnificent final term, culminating in a premiership for his club.

But you probably missed that, because Carlton supporters usually have other plans in September.
