Banter Who will be better in 2025, Carlton or Collingwood? Part 3

[doppleganger]

What was the Pies scores in the finals this year?

Both scoreless 53min in

 

[Fadge]

Exactly right. Would expect our guys to learn a heap from that but at least they were there this year.

Was that an intentional strategy as a means of learning as much as you can about finals?

They don't call him 'Crazy Vossy' for nothing!

 

[Robertio]

Both scoreless 53min in

A game doesn't go for 53 minutes mate, deluded as usual.

 

[Fadge]

A game doesn't go for 53 minutes mate, deluded as usual.

Correct.

That game went for about 25 minutes before it was over.

Embarrassing finals performances more often haunt and cripple players / teams.

Yeah, finals games not involving Carlton are normally still alive mid way through the 2nd quarter.

Carlton's season was done without scoring.

 

[Worm4]

They really do things their own way down at Visy Park, don't they?

'We are Carlton, **** the rest!'

What is Visy Park ?

 

[Fadge]

Embarrassing finals performances more often haunt and cripple players / teams.

Shhhhh.

Don't help them with their learning curve.

 

[Worm4]

Correct.

That game went for about 25 minutes before it was over.

When did you realise this game was over ?

It was an intentional strategy to make finals in 24. What was Collingwoods?

Aside from the fact Collingwood have won more finals games than any other team in the history of the competition, you would be right...

 

[Robertio]

Carlton's season was done without scoring.

Yep we were the 8th best team in it

There you go in the past again.

Oh, cute that you have to go back 5 seasons to dig this out.

Very cute.

 

[Fadge]

If you keep telling yourself that enough, you'll start to believe it.

Collingwood:

Yeah but thread is about 2024-25 isn't it? Seems the Pies went south in 2024.

 

[Bale Dup]

You won GF by 4 points against a side that still had an MCG hoodoo & then fell off a cliff after that.

There you go in the past again.

Understand why you Carlton supporters/empathisers want to ignore the past and only discuss how unbeatable they are going to be 'next year'...

 

[Fadge]

Yeah, unfortunately when you win a premiership, unless you win it again you are always going to finish in a lower position.

This is something else that Carlton supporters might learn about the finals system one day.

Or maybe not...

 

[Arr0w]

Yeah, Collingwood have only played in 40 finals since the current finals system was introduced.

Nearly 3 times as many as Carlton.

We don't have too much more to learn when it comes to 'playing in finals'....

Still waffling about the past as justification of the Pies being the superior side, yet, the count is 8 v 3 flags in the last 6 odd decades

You might have better luck focusing on 2025.

I hear that 80s peroxide mullet Pie supporter is still salty over this year's result

 

[Fadge]

'Sick Burn'.

Talking about 'falling off a cliff', I wonder whether Richmond's spoon has arrived yet?

Do you know?

We got to tell you now, when we are on top most of you won't be here.

 

[Fadge]

We got to tell you now, when we are on top most you won't be here.

Assuming you mean to say 'most of you', we really haven't had a chance to learn whether that will or won't happen, have we?

Maybe 'next year'?
