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

[Fadge]

We only need 2 or 3 good players to win a flag, we'll be fine, culture

In GOATcos we trust.

Carlton have the 6th oldest list. They are struggling to make the 8 and can't beat a cooked Collingwood.
Still totally reliant on an ageing, battered Cripps and the coach clearly has no tactical nous.
When, (not if), Carlton find themselves in the same old boat next year..i.e... ( struggling to make the 8 and choking in big games)..Maybe then it might dawn on Carlton folk that their next rebuild is going to be smack bang in the middle of the Tassie compromised drafts.
Ouch.

How does one struggle to make the top 8 , when one has been in the top 8 for most of the season ?
Sure you're not talking about the Pies ?

 

[Madblue]

In hindsight you might be correct, but go back and review what was being said about Collingwood leading into the 2022 season.

Powerhouse clubs find a way to rejuvenate quickly.

Agree but you arent a Powerhouse club so thats why things are looking grim going forward

 

[Fadge]

Curnow, Mckay and Weitering still have 5 years, Walsh Cerra and both Hollands plenty. Tassie won't be a bother for us after having to go through Gold Coast and Gws coming in and we have a few very good F/S's coming up.

'Big Game Charlie', 'Can't hit the side of a barn Walsh', and 'Hamstrung Cerra' - surely you're not relying on those blokes to take you to the promised land?

Only 67 games and already the best player in the comp

And funny how they don't mention that we have put out the 6th least experienced team in the comp this year.

You finally said something funny

Still waiting for an alternate definition of 'Powerhouse', and the clubs that qualify....

But of course you guys have nothing.

Because your definition is the only definition that the AFL community and broadcasters should be using moving forward ?

Pies, Cats, Swans, Eagles

 

[adammania9]

Does Cerra even have 10 more games in him?

 

[Fadge]

'Don't kid yourself, Collingwood aren't a Powerhouse club!'

'Really? Who are the Powerhouse clubs then, and what is your rationale?'

<crickets>

'You're a fool! There is not a 29% probability that Carlton's current premiership drought will extend to 50 years and beyond!'

'Really? What is the probability, and what is your rationale?'

<crickets>

That's what happens when you don't play finals for a decade, and therefore playing 2 to 3 games a season less than the Powerhouse clubs.

Except that he was being spoken about as the best in the game before he clocked over 50 games...

If Pies can win a flag with a couple of 50 year olds, an ex Sydney player who runs like a tree and a yank who can't see then anyone can win it.

It doesn't matter if you've been top 4 all year if you then fall over and choke and finish 8th or 9th.
If only the season finished in June hey Carlton.

We played in a prelim last season, catch up.

That's a very daunting appraisal of our chances this year, but a true one none the less

One of my better ones for the day mate lol.

Lol..
Cameron does run like a tree. Nice 1.

Under rated player though don't you think?

But they haven't struggled as you suggested. They've been entrenched. Poor choice of words

Irrelevant who is. Fact is you arent

I heard on SEN this morning he's taken more marks this year than any other ruckman in the comp.

Yet another year his output has exceeded that of TDK, at half the price.

 

[Fadge]

It's very relevant.

If you've concluded Collingwood aren't a Powerhouse, you must logically have determined who are, and based on what rationale... surely.

Not Collingwood
