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

[South of the Yarra]

The dirtybirds are all busy putting on ( stealing) their brownandyellow stripes alternate e jumpers for their most important game of the year...tommorrow

Who wears Brown and Yellow?

 

[Fadge]

Wide open competition this year - for any team that makes finals.

Yeah, you might learn how the finals system works... over time.

Or maybe not.

 

[Skull Face]

'Carlton sneak into 4th'...

LOLOLOL

Hard to believe for you I'm sure we probably finish 3rd if we beat the hawks this week still play finals either way unlike your mob.

'Probably'
'If'

Carlton are paying $4.50 to make the top 4 for a reason.

I think you need to borrow my abacus.

Do you seriously enjoy making a fool of yourself by posting this continual.garbage ?

I know you are hurting by having a poor seaon and missing the 8 but f**k me

Because on recent form we lose to hawthorn Sunday and can't make top 4, dozen games left between sides above us where 1 of them has to lose either way.

 

[Arr0w]

Prosperity predictions again, should we load up?

Wowee

 

[Fadge]

Is that why Carlton are favourites to beat the Hawks tomorrow?

As I've previously posted, Carlton could win all their remaining three games, and still finish 6th if other results go a certain way.

This will be the last version of finals as we know it this year anyway. Whole new version next year. Will keep you posted how it works for 2025 as pies won't be part of that action either

'Next Year'

I know your experience as a Carlton supporter is that if you miss finals, you do so for a decade at a time, but that doesn't happen to the Powerhouse clubs.

I think the concept of finals is to win enough games, is that correct?

Powerhouse clubs win more flags than 3 in 7 decades

That would require freo to lose all 3 games and if that's the case you are still alive!

 

[CarmenSandiego]

It is rare to see such a good user have a DE of around 50%.

Any chance of being tackled he will blindly get rid of the ball. 2nd week in a row of more turnovers than SIs

Does not like being taken to ground

Will get the 5 votes from McRae Lasso though.

Powerhouse clubs don't go from 1st to double digits the following year. How embarrassing

First thing you guys have offered to define what constitutes a Powerhouse club, and what doesn't.

So if you're going to finish 11th or 12th in a given year, you're better off finishing 10th or 11th the prior year (instead of winning the premiership)?

Gotcha.

Anything else?

 

[Arr0w]

Thread is almost dead

 

[dmc333]

It's even funnier to see the way a couple of supporters have taken it.

Yeah but supporters going off is a given. We've all seen it before.

McRae was coming off as a cool and relaxed character. Journalists were blowing their loads about his approach.

We now know it was situational.

It's quite laughable that you think Collingwood is any more of a powerhouse club than Carlton.
And your only basis of that differential is that Collingwood have played in more grand finals and that's pretty much it. You embarrass yourself regularly with these claims.
Have a rest a reload for 2025 I think you're cooked like your footy club

Almost ? It dead

 

[South of the Yarra]

Almost ? It dead

Collingwood have closed like the Grim Reaper

 

[Chief]

Easy win against a team not making the 8. Only had to put the foot down in the lasr qtr when they needed to

Sounds like a dead rubber game that doesn't count jinx no takesie-backsies.

14 more Grand Finals.
Many more finals series played and finals won.
Many more games won.
Much fewer wooden spoons.
Superior head to head record.
Many more supporters locally, country wide, world wide.
More members.
Much bigger crowds.
Not currently in a 25 season Grand Final drought.
