Banter Who will be better in 2024? Carlton or Collingwood?

I found something interesting in the photo of what will surely be MOY by Elliott yesterday.

Have a look at our Essendon friends in the crowd, what a bunch of sad sacks they are, not even 1 smile between the lot of them. Best mark we’ve had in the game probably since Walkers one and they look like they are all at a funeral.

Was a ripper. Anyone who doesn't get a kick out of our glorious game should probably not follow football

I’m sorry but the only time I’m smiling is if that’s my team or it’s a game not concerning the outcome of my team..

Who smiles when opposition kicks a goal or takes a great mark… not me & definitely not when it’s that guy

 

[BennyGFunk]

That said I can appreciate the beauty of good play after the fact.. case in point loved Peter Daicos highlights as a player (one of few pies players I like/d) but I wouldn’t enjoy it in that moment as a Carlton supporter

I was on my feet clapping when SOS took a huge mark against us in 1988, and Ablett in 1994, gotta enjoy the sport

The misery of Bomber fans in that photo is pretty depressing

Really?

You don’t get a kick out of a speccy? It’s the best part of our game that is still allowed.

I still remember smiling shaking my head when Goddard pulled down the screamer in the 2010 GF.

Try and not take it too serious my friend. It’s just a game at the end of the day .

I clapped when McGuane took his 7 bounces - didn't like it but I still clapped . Made our players look stupid that bit of play

Same thing - Went to the Essendon / Bulldogs game where Moorcroft took “that”mark. Got free tickets for the Medallion Club back in the day.
Was just as exhilarated witnessing that as if it was a Carlton player taking the mark. Games were on broadcast delays at the time and I remember ringing my Dad to say that I’ve just witnessed one of the greatest marks I’ve ever seen - Moorcroft had taken a pretty good one earlier and Dad said, yeah I’ve just seen it. Wasn’t bad. I said nah, not that mark just keep watching for another 30 minutes. This mark is mind-blowing.
From my perspective the high mark is the greatest single spectacle within this game.
Absolutely loved Elliott’s mark yesterday. Just magnificent.

What about that bloke walking down the aisle blocking everyones view and not even looking, what a screamer.

What a sad, uninspiring and and miserable bunch of people, they look like the downtrodden working class of Thatcher's Britain

The Bomber supporters looked the same as well

Walkers mark which was similar was against the Bombers as well lol.

How good!! Not much between them to be fair.

Imagine if Walker put the hands up in front, as opposed to the chest. It most certainly would be Mark of Century.

Bar the head injury and kilos of bandages Walker would have got higher.

Improbable gravity defying high marks are a wonderful part of our game.

Every Club has their share. I admit to really enjoying a little bloke standing on the shoulders of a tall hat rack player.

Little Merv Hobbs took an Elliot equivalent over the Dees Trevor Johnson in the 61 PF. There are heaps I was delighted to personally watch inc from the equally unfortunate Blues and Pies.

Jeremy has trouble stepping into his boots these days, no way he'll get in the air.

I saw Alan Ezard sit on Harry Maddens shoulders out at Waverley one of the best rides I've ever seen and it doesn't even get talked about

 

[JustaBattler]

Elliott's mark was the best I've seen since Walker's made me clap and go cheer - but Walsh's mark of the year was the most courageous I've seen since Riewoldt's famous air smash and tumble...

When you get spectacular combined with scary brave ..that is another level.

I was there that day, close to that mark, absolute pearler

Great game too, ended the Bombers run

Only seems fitting that Elliott now loses a certain MOTY to a run of the mill pack mark by Matt Owies.
