Poor Carlton.Yep.
Yet despite being aware that the fixture aint even, when determining who is "better" between two teams, instead of looking at direct HTH match ups as the primary determinant, you revert to the ladder which is based off a compromised fixture!
Pretty obvious Collingwood, by beating Carlton twice in 2024, that the Pies are better than the Blueshakes.
Blueshakes benefit from a soft fixture to currently be higher on the ladder.
After promising so much, to the point they were (false) 2nd favourites for the premiership, and being highly offended when some people refused to acknowledge them as 'Premiership contenders' (before any single team contends for the premiership), all they are left with is to argue that they have been better than Collingwood, in a year where their arch rivals accounted for them twice, had a much harder draw and were hit significantly worse by injury...
Oh my.
