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

[adammania9]

Carlton currently a game ahead of Collingwood courtesy of two additional games against the clear worst two teams in the competition, and a 0 and 2 head to head record against Collingwood.

If Carlton supporters want to continue to claim they have been the 'better' team due to ladder positions courtesy of uneven fixturing....

Boy oh boy Wowee.

The Blues also copped Gold Coast at home and the Pies had to travel there. That’s a two win swing. How are Carlton in a position to potentially still miss finals despite an all time friendly top 6 draw?

The eight grand finals wins on replay are enough to keep us entertained until we win our next one.

you still got a VHS player? wow!

Lovely kick by a member of the “cavalry” Fadge?

I'm not throwing the towel in at all. As long as Collingwood and Essendon don't win it then all is good.

So essentially the Pies are still 2 games behind us and still in Mexico? Juicy

Good to see a couple of posters returning after a long absence

This thread will now rage, love it

September Curnow has arrived a month early.

Dude, you play 17 games at the MCG ffs. That's a 5 win swing to the pies automatically

 

[South of the Yarra]

14 games at the MCG

 

[beerbandit]

Carlton

15 , but it's still a good ride

Motlop was labelled one of the key missing "difference makers" early in the year. They were right. He just made a negative difference with that crucial miss.

Others named were Cerra, Saad, Gov and Fogs. All played last night (hope Cerra is alright though, he's having some injury issues).

Perhaps TDK was the main man all along.

800 pages on who is going to finish 9th and 10th. Wild

17 including finals, yeah

 

[HeathySure]

It will be 17 this year when we win the Grand Final again

Well that was a big night.
Really good game, as these two teams usually produce.

I know the result wasn't for everyone but if you couldn't find some enjoyment in that game, then that says more about you than the game.

So as an answer to the question of Who will be better.

Ladder position, maybe Carlton.
Better team against one another, clearly Collingwood.

The way the results are going this year, we could win all our remaining games and still miss the eight.
There are maybe 7 or 8 teams that can win the flag this year, as it is that open.

I would lift your game Blues, or this could be another wasted year.

15 , but it's still a good ride

I would have thought 14

Pies won the head to head but still behind in this thread and you're still whinging even though Pies won.

 

[Robertio]

So who will be better in 2024?

So far Carlton.

9000 replies. Imagine they finish equal percentage and equal on the ladder in 3 weeks time

I agree with everything there.

Unfortunately that horse bolted a while ago. The way we threw away our opportunity to finish top two is shameful.

Mason Cox is a big game performer. Curnow just ain't

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!

Was a down game for Coxy. Can usually bank on more contested marks and maybe a third sausage when the crowd is 80k+

Was a standard Curnow night by way of the attendance. Didn’t disappoint based on previous performances

I still know which one I’d take into a grand final, unless there’s a granny played in front of 35k at Marvel
