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

[Fadge]

Just being realistic, we've only beaten bottom 4 sides recently

Carlton need to play Richmond again.

They're probably the only team in the competition they'd start favourites against at this stage.

 

[Robertio]

Apart from the 5 spoons. Carlton's other notable achievement in recent history has been to make Collingwood supporters really happy with numerous and memorable loses in the head to heads.
Chalked up another one on Saturday night. McGovern's kick after the Siren was iconically Carlton. Funny stuff.

Can't tell you how much you guys have put a smile on all our faces. Thanks for the great memories

We'll console ourselves by still being in the 8 and Pies are not.

 

[Arr0w]

So if McGovern had kicked a goal the ladder is relevant but because he missed Collingwood are now better across 2024? Brilliant logic

You really think Pie supporters won't shift the goal posts

 

[Fadge]

We'll console ourselves by still being in the 8 and Pies are not.

That's nice.

Your big opportunity to contend after 20 years of building and rebuilding, and you've blown it.

But because you're in the 8 and Collingwood aren't, all is good in the world?

Wowee.

Not over yet mate, geez I'd hate to be going up to Sydney next week.

 

[carlton_99]

'If'....

You still looking for the list of teams Pies have beaten that we lost to?

 

[Fadge]

Not over yet mate, geez I'd hate to be going up to Sydney next week.

Of course you would as a Carlton supporter, because they'd thump you.

But Collingwood will go up there expecting to win.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Did you notice we're still ahead of the Pies? Look down a couple of spots.

Yeah but, just like you guys, we aren't winning the flag even if we did make the 8.
Doing a memorable double on you guys in the head to head beats scraping into finals only to get spanked. It's been a very ordinary year as a Pies supporter but beating you twice in dramatic fashion has made it all worthwhile

If...

Collingwood have beaten Carlton twice in 2024. Pretty obvious who is better between the two teams.

If...

Collingwood have beaten Carltomln twice in 2024. Pretty obvious who is better between the two teams.

In a season that is 5 games long maybe but not in a 23-game season - but nice ignoring the question

Enjoy it mate.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Enjoy it mate.

We shall indeed, probably about 280 days until we meet again, until then we continue to own and dominate Carlton conclusively

We will be contending and you wont, simple really

contending for what?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Have I won that bucket of KFC yet? Hollands one of our best last night and Schultz as always unsighted and borderline useless

Be careful it might be based on H2H team result. Because who really cares about the other 21 games - it's only 91.3% of the H+A season.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

contending for what?

They're a chance to come from behind and take out the "shat the bed award" like they did in 2022. Bombers are currently in the box seat as usual though.

 

[Madblue]

I will spell it out for you Collingwood supporters. You cant win the flag if you dont make the eight

 

[Fadge]

And once you get a little more experience seeing your team play in finals, you'll start to realise you can't win the flag from outside the top 4.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Poor boomer Pies

3 flags in 6 odd decades

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

Poor boomer blooze, no flags for 3 decades

Why pick time lines? It's only to cherry pick what makes one feel better.

The only the time line that matters is the whole course of the competition, since 1897.

Over that time Collingwood is the best performer of the whole competition. Not up for debate.

Have a nice day everyone.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

I will spell it out for us Carlton supporters. You cant win the flag if you don't make the four (damn those Pies )

I'll spell it out for you, Carlton cant win the flag if they do make the eight

Timeline spot on, 3 sides on 16 though

Not up for debate

A question based on a wildly fanciful hypothetical scenario where Carlton actually beat Collingwood was duly ignored.

In 2024, the Mighty Magpies were too good for Carlton...again.

The Carlton fan position seems to be despite actually losing to Collingwood twice, that it was actually Carlton who were better than Collingwood!
