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

[Mr Meow]

I'll be good as Pies never won the game Blues lost it.

Do you basically think the Blues were the better team then? Moral victory and all that?

You just need to lower the eyes when the pressure is on

When the pressure is on is when most teams go long i50 - the issue is it's important these are deep against a Collingwood. Anything shallow that we don't mark will be swept up by the likes of Noble, Quaynor, Maynard etc who will rebound quickly. If we generated more deep entries it makes that far harder and puts a lot of pressure on Moore/Frampton who can get exposed defensively

 

[Thrawn]

But Timid? What does that actually mean?

Not wanting it more, not taking risks, not putting your body on the line to shepherd or bump, etc.

Collingwood wanted it that little bit more, no coincidence they've won four very close games against us in the past few years.

I didn't say that but at the end it was up to us who won the game, McGovern could've stayed down and Martin could've had the shot, been done many times before.

 

[manicpie]

So what is it then, a coaching directive or players with low footy IQ? We've seen instances in the past where they lower their eyes and not bomb it exclusively to them and lo and behold, they play better with several individual goalkickers.

I think it's a more a mental thing.

It's just pressure. It happens in big games and finals. I can only imagine the pressure out there, so it's just a reflex reaction. Get the ball in the forward line at all costs. This can be rectified over the next 4 weeks before finals

Fair enough.

Why do you care so much anyway. You're neither a Blues or a Pies fan?

Collingwood were the better team on the night, but Carlton have been the better team overall so far this year.

Fair response. Most of your supporters have just been blaming the officiating and injuries. Hats off to you for pointing out a lot of Carlton players just don't go when it's their turn.

Injuries can be a factor, but no excuses for this game because we had a strong list out there... only TDK and Doc notable missing really.

The players need another Camp Curnow and fast.

 

[Monco Matt]

Oh when it comes to grand finals, St Kilda have not been the only club you've been generous to.

This is unfortunately true, cannot deny history. However, what is most tragic is that we will never get the chance to square up as Carlton just do not make Grand Finals anymore. Oh well!

Plenty of neutrals have posted their thoughts in here.

My posts are just more popular (getting lots of angry protests and hence reply loops to respond to).

But that would require midfielders with elite vision, decision making and execution.

Who does that describe at Carlton?

 

[Fadge]

...but Carlton have been the better team overall so far this year.

Based on?

Having already played the clear two worst teams in the competition twice, and a couple of dubious wins resulting from 'umpire interpretation'.

 

[Doc1763]

Agree but Curnows lack of form is a real worry

the brown paper bags must have been dropped off at the wrong location

 

[Madblue]

It’s impressive Carlton fans are still valiantly defending their side. Facts are it’s another wasted year for Carlton while Pies fans enjoy their recent premiership.

Carlton have had 29 years of nothing resorting to bragging about their wooden spoons

View attachment 2068344

And Pies fans celebrating 3 flags in nearly 7 decades

 

[Doc1763]

Three flags in almost seventy years what a "powerhouse" of a club.

no flags in 29 years, long may it continue

 

[Doc1763]

More grand final defeats than anyone else! That's the sort of character and heart that a club could do without imo.

5 spoons this century, that's the sort of character and heart that a club could do without imo.

 

[Fadge]

Not long until that famous 50 year flag drought probability ticks over from 29% to 31%....

 

[Doc1763]

Make that two in sixty something years. Beating St Kilda in a grand final means nothing at the end of the day.

you'd know, Carlton are the St Kilda of the 21 century

Where are these "neutrals" when you need them?

You can't count mate? We've won more games.

You need me? That's creepy but I'm not sure whether to take it as a compliment.

Otherwise that comment can be taken as a bit victim complex-y: "why do people only pick on the Blues? "

I bet while McGovern was having his shot last night you were thinking of us.

No - definitely not you.

 

[Mr Meow]

No - definitely not you.

Well I hope you find your validation somewhere after another deeply insecure tirade of posts.

Begging for neutrals to criticise Pies supporters only confirms that whinging, victim complex status that fits a number of your supporters so neatly. And that is the whole reason those Blues supporters are mocked.
