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

[beerbandit]

I returned after a thread ban because a few sensitive types mashed the "report" button last time. Which will surely happen again today.

Really?? I thought it was a banter thread?

 

[Robertio]

Yep Richmond twice and North twice.

 

[beerbandit]

Depends how it's delivered. Injuries aren't an excuse, but it is a factor

Health of list/continuity is the number 1 factor in team sport, but referencing interchangeable players is a reach

Do you think Carlton have been worse off with injuries then Collingwood this year ?

 

[carlton_99]

Yep Richmond twice and North twice.

And GWS, Gold Coast, Essendon, and Geelong ofc

About same level

 

[Chronz]

Yep Richmond twice and North twice.

Wow what a soft draw.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

So there's still a chance then right? Ok so that's cool.

Probably just 1

You’ve blown top 4 and having 2 of them.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Maybe another thread, Pies haven't surpassed Carlton in flags for more than 4 decades

Probability is high for half a century

Typical boomer response, only worried about their own generation.

The poor Carlton fans under 40 have been starved.

Carlton supporters are a lot like housing in Australia. The oldies are laughing, the kids aren’t.

 

[beerbandit]

Our 44 points currently this season surpasses Geelongs 42 points of last season.

So we have now at least put the “worst premiership defence in history” to bed.

 

[docks]

fair go, they only play West Coast once this year

I take your point.

Do Carlton actually have any fans under 40?

In this thread it is just a bunch of crusty old Baggers who focus on the 1970s.

Bagger Boomers, ruining it for all the other Carlton fans.

Selfish like Cripps and Curnow who play for individual medals

What a pathetic post

 

[doppleganger]

Biden another crusty old Bagger?

 

[Thrawn]

Selfish like Cripps and Curnow who play for individual medals

Bit unfair on Cripps who's trying to drag the entire midfield on his own.

Pendles cough, cough

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Pendles cough, cough

Is that one cough for each flag

 

[doppleganger]

goes to show how important DeGoey is to Collingwood- the whole game changed when he came off.

Entering 2024, DeGoey was our most dynamic midfielder. He hasn't been able to play his explosive footy that breaks games open all year.

When your best players - DeGoey, Moore, IQ, Mitchell, J.Daicos, Elliott, Mihocek, McStay - aren't able to produce much on the park unsurprising that we have fallen back to the pack.

Pies need to win remaining 3 games and we still might miss finals. Left too many games on the table.

 

[doppleganger]

Pendles cough, cough

Pendles is a winner and loves influencing big games. Has won a Norm Smith, and received votes in two other GFs.

Just slightly different to big game Charlie, who goes missing when Carlton need him, but will bag 10 against bottom clubs to get himself an individual award.

Poor boomer Pies

3 flags in 6 odd decades

Yeah you'd think #1 draft pick Sammy the Seagull would give poor old Crippa a chop out now and then.,,, But nah...only when the skiings downhill.

When the "skiings downhill" like finals you mean?

Poor Blues supporters under 40. 1 flag and 5 spoons in 36 years.
