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

[Elixuh]

Going by Fadge's thinking Carlton beat Brisbane so we are better.

100%. Blues are one of the best teams in the comp if you remove the 8 teams above them.

Yep the 8 teams above us are all better.

You cannot possibly have read that post and got to this conclusion.

It's easy if you start with the conclusion then apply creative reading to validate it.

Here we go.... straight from the CArr0w playbook.

You want me to calculate the probability of Carlton's current 29 year premiership drought extending to 70 years?

I do, I did a quick guesstimate and I have it at 100%, what you got Fadge ?

 

[PerthBoy86]

What happens if they lose to West Coast this week, or we just don't care anymore?

If I were a Carlton fan I don't think I'd really want to play finals anyway. Season over with their injuries, if it wasn't already.

 

[beerbandit]

Here we go, Carlton blaming injuries again!!

You blokes were already 10 goals down, I betcha half of them were bunging it on as they were so embarrassed in themselves.

So what position are the Pies in the 8?

He's a West Coast supporter mate.

I’ll answer your beer question, it’s warm, just how you blokes like it!

That's a bigger insult than anything you say about the Blues, who the f**k likes hot beer.

No one is "blaming" injuries and you know your second point isn't true - we had three players injured in the first quarter when it was 23-21 at QTR time.

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.

Hang on I think I have a Betamax player, we can fire up the last grand final win and maybe identify a player or two .

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

This Hawthorn team smashed the Pies as well remember? As much as i like and respect Vossy as a person, if 2025 is yet another year of failure then it'll probably be time for a parting of ways sadly.

We would've got pantsed either way mate. It was a day of carnage injuries-wise but it's not worth mentioning.

Injuries have hurt us this year, but it's our own doing. We're past the point of being like 'oh but we had injuries, we're unlucky'. There's no 'luck' involved in choosing to keep injury prone blokes on your list, there's no 'luck' in sticking with the same s&c team after years of injury chaos.

With a new S&C coach, new turf and some players moved on, I expect a healthier group from here.

THEN we will be contenders bwahaha - nah kidding no idea if we will be any good, ever.

Jack Martin doesn’t count, when isn’t he injured.

 

[carlton_99]

It's about the rotation not just the player themselves when injuries happen during a game. Carlton only used 49 rotations yesterday - feel like that would be quite a rare occurrence

Jack Martin doesn't count because Pie supporters think he doesn't count lol, as soon as you blokes got injuries it was your biggest excuse in here.

Never said the result would have been any different and I didn't bring up injuries.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

What a crazy season this is. Literally anyone ( except Richmond) can beat anyone. Massive form swings, chokes, drama finishes. It's like noone wants to stand up and take the flag that's on offer!

This weekend exemplifies it perfectly. Pies, Essendon and Bloose all playing to keep their season alive but instead decide to have a competition to see who can fail in the worst way.
First Pies get out to a comfortable lead then choke and lose in the last minute. Essendon say "pffft...we can do better than that" and kick 1.9 in the last and lose to a kick after the siren , then Carlton say "hold my beer".

They know that mate, at least i think they do.

I try not to assume anything on here

In fairness to the Tiges they did beat Sydney.
