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

[Delisted]

You might claim unlucky injuries, but at what point do you just admit Carlton has very few players who's bodies can stand AFL.

Andrew Russell was great for the Hawks. Makes you think did he just leave because their players didn't put in the hard yards?

 

[doppleganger]

That was last year

Yeah no wins against Collingwood for Carlton in 2024.

 

[Fadge]

Why am I not shocked that the Collingwood vultures jump in this thread as soon as Carlton lose?

You weren't around on Friday night, obviously?

29 Year Anniversary of Carlton's most recent premiership.

Probability of a 50 year premiership drought extends from 29% to 31%.

 

[cakewalk06]

Who is that?

No one knows who Carlton's oldest premiership player is ... it was a time before serious records were kept so we are just relying on word of mouth at this stage.

 

[Fadge]

We were witches hats today mate, fire away as long as my family wakes up healthy in the morning I'm good and whatever is said here I'll forget in 10 minutes.

And now we're at the 'there's more to life than footy' stage...

Does Voss survive?

 

[Crankyhawk]

it’s Voss. He learnt from hinkleys kick it long to Dixon game style.

Kick it long to curnow isn’t that big of a stretch.

The blues supporter I was sitting next to kept crying for them to kick it long to McKay/ curnow and was annoyed every time Carlton handballed

At least you got some relief in Q4!

Deserve everything we cop after that. Honestly can't believe how dramatically our season has unraveled. At least we have done that with some flair, unlike our play on the field since round 17.

Happy to concede that Collingwood were better than Carlton in 2024. See you in the 2025 thread.

Hope you all (Pies fans included) have a nice offseason and find fulfilment in your interests outside of football.

I’d like Collingwood to request to play Carlton in the final game of the season every year. As fun as it is to ruin their season 3 weeks out, nothing beats the joy in ending their season in the final game.

How I envy St Kilda this year

 

[South of the Yarra]

Don’t worry Blues fans, you will be Premiership favourites again come November.

They’re new to the game plan. Give it 11 years.

—Insert all the excuses hinkleys recieved from the wider afl community here—

Don't worry mate Sydney will keep choking as well. Lots of sore and sorry boys over there, looking more and more like port Adelaide when they crawled to finals and went out in straight sets.

ok

This ain't the blueshakes anymore. It's more like the blue mousse.

Remember the old joke:

Question - Who kicked 5 goals in the 1990 Grand Final?

Answer - Essendon!

I have a newer, more recent, more appropriate joke for this thread...

Question - Who kicked 5 goals in Carlton's Round 22 2024 game against fellow Top 8 aspirants Hawthorn; a game they had to win to maintain any chance of finishing top 4 and therefore possibly contend for a premiership after two decades of building and rebuilding, with a loss placing them at risk of missing out on finals altogether?

Answer - Carlton!

 

[Thrawn]

Andrew Russell was great for the Hawks. Makes you think did he just leave because their players didn't put in the hard yards?

People blame Russell but I reckon some of the players aren't doing what is required.

 

[Crankyhawk]

By that point he was going fully postal on Carlton. Oddly he was only like this whole game was on, was able to have reasoned discussion at the quarter time breaks

I didn't think I'd ever witness anything as bad as our performance today . . . until I read this joke. Thanks for the cheer up.

Pace yourself, we've got another whole summer of this

Glorious!!

That's the word going around. Players too interested In their social media tik toks and certain staff not putting their reputation on the line. Better just to leave that organisation.
