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

[Fadge]

Admin we can close this thread now. It’ll only be Collingwood fans in here from here on sharing 2023 premierships photos or how Carlton will at best be celebrating an elimination final defeat.

Not so fast.

Carlton finish a maximum of 2 games ahead of us (likely 1 game, possibly 0 games), courtesy of the double up games against North and Richmond.

Collingwood head to head record against Carlton 2 - 0.

Pies the BETTER team. (unless Carlton do more than merely make up the numbers in the finals - if they get there).

Brave by Carlton today to beat the west coast eagles to try and scrape into finals. The eagles are no easy beats they won a flag in 2018, so it’s basically a win against a top 4 team.

Great season blues!

We we're ****ed 6 weeks ago. Scraping into the 8 wouldn't have been much good anyway. Carlton can have an extra game seeing as they don,t get to play finals much. Go Blues

Could and should have been closed when the Pies beat Carlton for the second time in Sir Scott's 400th game.

The signature Blueshake, going from 2nd flag favs in June to an also ran come August

I reckon we've just made sure that you won't be playing finals footy this year you shower of beep beeps.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Cripps Brownlow and Carlton complete their dynasty of contending for finals for three consecutive seasons...

Does life get any better than this for Carlton supporters?

We made sure you won't be putting back to back flags together. Now that is sweet.

We knew that weeks ago. Enjoy the finals

Live look at the guy at the AFL who does the draw each year realising he is going to have to structure another entire season around the Blues to try to make them competitive. He's running out of ideas.

Oh with the injuries we hope to win the one final at the very least.

We do that ourselves after every flag

Hey at least the "We had a part in Collingwood not winning 2 flags" reunions will be off the hook.

Carlton to play Richmond four times in 2025.

The state of you mate reduced to being a snivelling Collingwood arse kisser.

And hope is good

Stop being so pragmatic and likeable

I need you around more I'm blushing

2 games v Richmond
2 v North
2 v West Coast
2 v Gold Coast including a Gold Coast ‘home game’ at the MCG
Brisbane at the MCG

Yet they’d probably still **** it up!!!

Just like the Pies this year yeah?

Internally I'm pretty sure they count that as a flag for the Blues down at Ikon Park.

We didn’t get any of that and still only miss finals on % with the leagues worst injury list

 

[doppleganger]

Carlton to play Richmond four times in 2025.

Carlton to not play Collingwood at all in 2025

 

[eddiesmith]

Carlton to not play Collingwood at all in 2025

They’ll play Collingwood in the new mandatory rest week for anyone who’s played 400 games…

Pies the BETTER team. (unless Carlton do more than merely make up the numbers in the finals - if they get there).

We are using the new "number of positions above the other team, accumulated weekly".

By this foolproof metric we see that Carlton is clearly the superior team in 2024:

Round	Ladder Positions Diff
OR	3
1	11
2	8
3	6
4	7
5	7
6	6
7	4
8	1
9	1
10	-5
11	-1
12	4
13	4
14	1
15	2
16	4
17	7
18	10
19	11
20	8
21	3
22	2
23	2

If we use arithmetic (which is probably too big a word for your average Collingwood supporter to understand, and definitely too complicated a task for them to perform) we find that the difference in Carlton's favour, with one week to go, is a whopping:

106

Cant wait for the reunions

What I love is that they got a sniff every now and again only to have it ripped away from them

They’ll play Collingwood in the new mandatory rest week for anyone who’s played 400 games…

And mandatory rest week for any premiership players.
