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

[WalshistheGOAT]

In the same way that Port Adelaide were second favourites for the flag at the same stage last year, though didn't contend for the flag.

Melbourne flag favourites at this stage in 2022, and didn't even play a Preliminary Final either.

I know Carlton supporters are all desperate for attention and recognition, but let's see if your team actually contends for a flag before you label yourselves 'contenders'.

Ironically, we've spent the past dozen years hearing from the Carlton folk that if a team doesn't win a flag, they're merely a 'participant'...

But the Carlton folk now want to be regarded as a 'contender', before they're actually 'contending'?

So Daicos is the best player in the league because the bookies have him favorite for the Brownlow... But Carlton are **** even if the bookies have them in the top handful to win the flag this year...

That abacus really is in fine form Fudge. The double standards are comical.

 

[Worm4]

Really?

Despite having posted in the thread every day for the past two weeks?

'Imaging' at it's best.

You've been asked about your own sides form a few times and have chosen to ignore. Selective responses at best from you

You're not taking this all to well at all mate, take a Bex and have a lie down for a while.

 

[Robertio]

Oh looky, looky... another one desperate for recognition.

I guess it's not like Carlton folk to get ahead of themselves...

To the contrary. You and your boys aren't taking it well.

Craving for recognition despite being one of a pack of a dozen teams who could play in a Preliminary Final, or miss the finals all together.

But I understand why you guys feel the need to 'make hay whilst the sun shines'...

Do you have any objections to us "making hay while the sun shines"?

Is Collingwood a 'contender' in 2024? Surely not at 9th place on the ladder?

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

Think old mate needs to go back to the Nicky GOAT thread and delete 90% of his posts as apparently Nicky wasn't contending for anything.........

Just curious, how is a side in contention to play in a preliminary final from 16th?

 

[BennyGFunk]

Nope, no double standards.

I've been consistent in my views as to what constitutes a contender.

I've shared my views many times, for example Collingwood not being a contender in 2009 despite finishing top 4, as we were miles off the top 2 teams in that season.

Maybe if you see your team at the pointy end, you'll start to appreciate what constitutes a contender, and what doesn't. And also, why you don't assume the higher rated teams midway through the season will inevitably contend for the premiership.

The pointy end, what like the final 4 in a prelim?

Making the prelim without a turnover game

Now that we’ve got that ‘pretty strong’ and our one wood contest and pressure is back to where it needs to be, we are currently the clear 2nd seed imo and in a lot of others minds

Swans are the no.1 atm as is evident, spanked both our clubs, but we will see as the year progresses..

Would like to see how the swans would have done with our injuries

Do people even take that these days?

I don't think so mate, there's probably a cheaper generic brand which is exactly the same.

Quick read of Wikipedia indicates that Bex was addictive and caused KIDNEY CANCER

So from now on, telling someone to "take a Bex and lie down" in this thread will be construed as a violent insult

Only one win separating 3rd and 10th on the ladder and Footscray in 11th spot have the 3rd best percentage. Interesting season at this stage.

 

[Arr0w]

Pies v Demons will be a great game, plenty on the line for both clubs, who are sitting outside the 8

Definitely plenty on the line

But the big event this weekend is the extremely rare top 5 clash between Carlton and Essendon

Should have saved the 32 cups display for this one

Yeah, another interesting contest, the winner "could" cement top 4 if they continue with strong, consistent form

 

[Worm4]

Nick and Errol are basically the same age and Errol is the better player. But he doesn't run around in Melbourne every week so he's out of sight out of mind.

Poor Daicos running around with 21 blokes who he won a flag with. Spare me "he doesn't have a good team around him".

I know. Must have been the worst premiership side ever the way they carry on sometimes
