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

[Robertio]

The last player I can remember Carlton fans having a problem with was Lachie Henderson and that was because he basically gave up midseason and put in pathetic performances because he knew he wanted out.

Yeah and remember his mom on talk back radio lol.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

I liked the bit where he said that Carlton would be the first team to lose this weekend lol.

He’s an angry man is Fudge and quite scary.

He'd be a bit nervous about tonights game.

Pendlebury just ruled out as well.

I like the bit where Fudgey says "I hoped for a Port win"

LOL

Something I could never do.
If it was a Carlton-Port GF, I would be at the game in a Carlton scarf, with a Paddy Cripps badge.

Similar to the Tigers-GWS GF, I went with a GWS scarf and a Toby Green badge.

Yes there is a team, I dislike more than Carlton.

This is going to sound strange but I still think we'll win

Doesn't sound strange at all mate, it would if i said it.

I am happy you all changed your ways when I said yesterday that this was a shit thread because of the regular love ins between Carlton and Collingwood supporters.

Our supporters should hate each other. It’s a lot healthier.

 

[Sector 7G]

You must be new to this thread mate. Every team has injuries.

Who would have thought a team that has a list half filled with guys in their 30s could be susceptible to a run of injuries

Exactly. Doggies have a few out as well. No excuses Woof woof

To be fair, the weekend doesn't officially start until 5pm today

And still undefeated in the last 8 weeks regardless of injuries. nice try

 

[Thrawn]

Blues story takes another turn. Was hoping Port would win (they're our SA cousins after all) but Carlton had the structure to beat them, and held their nerve.

That De Koning looks weird at times but it's real footy, very attacking. The game opens up when he's in the middle, you can't fake talent. Great antidote to Lyons anti-football.


Sorry for the late reply here, but I watch those SEN YouTube clips for the lulz. The one where Hoyne said "the coaches got it wrong, Daicos was the 21st best player on the ground", with 10/10 coaches votes had me in stitches.

He's loyal to his product, I'll give him that.

He needs to wear a t-shirt saying "score on turnover".

Who do you reckon has been your best scalp during that 8 weeks ? Was it Port at the MCG , Hawks, Eagles , or the scrap against us ?

Does it matter. You're getting excited about a win over an injury riddled port but you guys don't count injuries unless you go back 6 weeks ago when you did. The win against you was extra special though. I thought you classed yourself as a premiership contender

Agreed, they've got tons of injuries including some big names, no excuses

I love Daniel Hoyne but he's backed himself into a corner over that Daicos game v Adelaide, those algorithms need a rejig

Fadge says we aren't contenders, so Pies have meaningless wins against extraordinarily bad opponents. Form doesn't read too great and injuries aren't an excuse particularly when your best players are still on the park.
Is port really injury riddled ? Who are you talking about here

Libba, Naughton, Smith, Richards, JJ and Weightman is a more deleterious injury list than any Carlton has faced this season. Likewise Collingwood's.

I expect the Bulldogs to win under the roof tonight.

It'll be a decent effort, whoever gets up. Much like the Port/Carlton game.

 

[Hippster]

I do enjoy coming here from time to time. Classic stuff.
Fadge is one funny dude.
It’s a real 50/50 on who will finish highest this year, but I’m pretty sure both will be playing on Prelim final weekend.
I’m sure supporters of each team will not agree on here that it’s possible that the other team will be good enough to do this. But they are two very strong teams.
Pies are the best coached, best system, best consistent effort side in the comp.
Blues have the most talented list with a top 10-12 to die for, but seem to turn it up from time to time and I just don’t fully trust them.
Only time will tell.

No.. Port were missing Rozee and Rioli is pretty dangerous. Blues were missing more best 22 players than Port.

Port were just poor. An AA midfielder and good small forward being out did not explain the underwhelming performances of the rest of the team.

The Pies absences last week didn't explain them throwing away a 5 goal lead late against a team that was playing terribly. In game injuries can be a killer but they still had the players to close it out.

Teams need to be accountable for dips in performance and concentration. Players need to stand up.
