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

[Irish BlueBagger]

Unfortunately it’s hard to argue with, BUT you never know

Our boys have the talent, i just hope they have it between the ears now! Success in sport is about having the mental ability and capacity to get the job done as much as the physical imo.

 

[Fadge]

You may as well use up all the material you have because in 2024 Carlton are flag contenders and Collingwood are not.

I guess time will tell on this comment, given the team that were second on the ladder and second favourites for the premiership at the same stage of 2023 didn't end up contending for the flag...

Lol, still dwelling on the past I see. You obviously think this same scenario is going to play out the same way again and again , and again, and again..

No, not at all.

History has shown that we can't assume any team will contend for the premiership, until they actually contend for the premiership.

I know as a Carlton supporter, you have been starved of that label, and you're desperate to be seen as a 'premiership contender', but you do risk getting ahead of yourself....

I'm not desperate. Been to and witnessed more than my fair share of flags. If Carlton happen to win more whilst I'm still on this planet, well thats just gravy on top for me.

We want to be premiership winners not contenders!

By your own logic, Collingwood aren’t contending for a flag, at your current (9th) ladder position, in 2024 because the club in 9th position at the same stage of 2023 didn’t end up contending for the flag…

The only three peat the Pies do are ones of the losing variety 1979, 1980 and 1981.

They’d have to get there first - very unlikely!

Ladder checked…

No change to The Dirty Bird Crew in Ninth,

I repeat NINTH!

I'm not sure how many times I have to say it, but noone has contended for the premiership yet in 2024.

I'll let you know who the contenders were once clubs have actually contended for the premiership.

It’s BigFooty, so I predict another 78 times before that “Oh, now I understand you!” moment.

So sides are only contenders once they make a GF?

No.

Oh boy.

Seems as though we have to go through this again....

Who were the premiership contenders in 2023?

What about 2022?

Let's use the most recent two seasons as case studies...

 

[jezzajay]

LOL...the deflecting is hilarious...

 

[MCG-Unit]

Agree.

There's no doubt he'll get off.

As David King said 'the AFL don't like asterisks for contenders on Brownlow night'.

This aged well

Sides are only contending, when Fadge says they are . He is the gatekeeper on this matter

Predict there's more to play out on this...

I guess it depends on whether you want to be logical and accurate when determining who the premiership contenders in a given year are/were, or not...

I mean, let's circle back to this time last year.

Would many people have included GWS as a premiership contender?

Would many people have said Port Adelaide weren't a premiership contender?

It really is quite simple, but I guess it comes from the experience of regularly watching finals series' play out, inside of losing interest and moving on to reviewing the draft boards for November.

Talk about losing interest there's hardly any Pie supporters in here the last week.
