Banter Carlton is better in 2024. Who will be better in 2025? Carlton or Collingwood? Part 3

[Fadge]

LOL. Success is winning the premiership.

There’s been nothing successful about either sides season. I still doubt Carlton make the 8, but if you do, don’t fear it will be swift and painless.

LOLOLOL

A 'successful' season - contending to finish in 8th position.

Yes, Blues supporters desperately seize on the most insignificant “achievements” of their team to crow about. A bit like Bomber fans in the absence of anything else, reduced to bragging about Dodoro winning trade week 23 years in a row.

I suppose though, after nearly 30 years of not winning anything, (apart from FIVE wooden spoons), you can’t blame them for getting excited about 8th position.

It’s Curious how many Carlton fans in this thread are pensioners, the odds for that must be astounding.

Though I can understand why there would be not much fresh blood coming through the supporter ranks.

Have seen more flags than you will ever see !

So it's not bottom 6 - it's just Hawthorn based off how the season panned out had a harder draw then they should have based on 2023 ladder position.

The fixture is based on the 2023 ladder positions - the AFL can't predict the future and tell who will rise and who will fall.

Is it not odd though that bottom 6 hawks had most of the same sides as double ups as a top 6 side?

I remember every year when we were at the bottom our fixture was consistently graded by Champion Data to be far harder than where we finished. In 2019, after winning 2-games in 2018 it was graded harder than Richmond's who were coming off a Preliminary Final. There are always oddities like that with the fixture

What is wrong with the number in the side (20224?)

 

[carlton_99]

Ideally, ever club should play each other twice (home and away) just like the EPL. Only way to achieve true fairness. Unfrtunately, AFL will never go to a 34-week season (soon becoming 36-week when Tasi enter)

That's AFTER the season is completed.

I think I must have time travelled to the future to find that VHS, after Carlton have reached the pinnacle of their 16,200 year rebuild and are valiantly fighting it out for 8th.

When you lose it and mentally disintegrate and get angry and personal about banter in a banter thread; You've been Fadged!

 

[Worm4]

Thread should be closed.
Dirtys can't finish above the Blues. It's mission impossible.
If both sides were going well the MCG would be full - the real question is , how many have abandoned their side just to prove that bandwagon supporters exist for both pies and demons supporters.

And somehow, he still manages to climax over flawed arguments.

Who are you and if any of my arguments are flawed you're welcome to debunk them?

But the Carlton way is:

'You're a troll and you're wrong'

'OK then, what is the right answer?'

Oh.

Is this the same way that noone was going to turn up to the Collingwood v. Brisbane game at the Saturday twilight time?

Next minute over 60,000 attendees, which happens to be Brisbane's largest crowd this year, eclipsing their second highest crowd by 18000 people.

Carlton v. Melbourne drew 58000 attendees earlier in the season, at a time when both teams had aspirations for top 4. Let's see how the crowd for a dead rubber at the end of the season compares...

There is not a single Collingwood supporter on here breaking anyone. You’re all masters of changing the rules of this thread and a walking contradiction.

Collingwood supporters: Carlton were given double ups against 17th and 18th.

Carlton supporters: But when the fixture was made Richmond finished 13th.

Collingwood supporters: That doesn’t matter. North Melbourne finished 17th last year.

Carlton supporters: But Hawthorn finished 16th last year. So the double-up was 17th vs 16th according to last years ladder. It’s a negligible difference.

Collingwood supporters: That doesn’t matter. Only this years ladder counts.

So the rules of next years thread don’t change in July, again, one of you should make a checklist on what does count….. outside of final ladder position.

Your club sold hope of finals for 2024 and flights to Bali were fully booked last weekend hence 61k turned up for the GF replay.
Now that hope is gone. Let's see how many fairweathered supporters decide who could be bothered

I'm not sure what was more impressive but the Pies win over North Melbourne and the circle jerking that came with it was truly out of this world

Aww, diddums.

We’ve averaged 3,000 fewer people at home games than Collingwood this year. 9 MCG (7 at Marvel) games for Carlton vs 13 MCG games (3 at Marvel) for Collingwood and your fanbase could only muster at extra 3,000 people? To put that into perspective, you've been given an extra 188,000 seats and only got 3,000 people in.

Your supporters have done plenty of “not turning up”.
