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

[zeggie]

It's so cute seeing these Carlton desperadoes still trying to talk themselves into believing they were better than Collingwood this year, despite losing to us twice and only finishing ahead of us on percentage courtesy of their double up games against two teams who won a total of 5 games between them.

All this in a year Collingwood were basking in the glow of premiership glory, whilst Carlton have been building for more than two decades to get to this point where they truly believed it was their time.

So desperate it's cute.

Yeah, we did so shit yet your mob couldn't make the 8. So Pies = Shitterer.

 

[Fadge]

Yeah, we did so shit yet your mob couldn't make the 8. So Pies = Shitterer.

'So shit', yet still your second best season in over a decade...

And the realisation that after building and rebuilding for more than two decades, you peaked with a 5th placed finish in 2023 (miles off the genuine contenders), with teams leapfrogging you left, right and centre.

Collingwood supporter wants us to only play 21 games and also give Fremantle the four points against us from this year. So Collingwood are still finishing outside the finals.

That is what this thread has been reduced to.

your second best season in over a decade...

Thanks for the compliment. Means a lot from a Collingwood supporter. Appreciate it.

Good luck to your team in the finals! Go Blues.

The teams that leapfrogged us leapfrogged Collingwood as well.

I just hope Collingwood supporters can be mature enough to support their former premiership player, Jack Ginnivan, and not want him to literally break a leg.

We can hope, but come on. Be realistic here.

 

[Fadge]

Nah, we had a down year as a result of basking in premiership glory.

The last two times we've missed the finals, we've followed up with consecutive seasons in the top 4 on each occasion.

The beauty of an extended off season.

Can you imagine the chest beating down at tigerland if the Swans win the flag ?
Yeah, you won the flag, but richmond are better.
Am I doing this right ?

No, you're not.

Comprehension is important.

Your older players will be older next season, no first round draft pick, all signs say between 14th and 12th next season.

Ok, so Carlton are better than Collingwood. Thanks for the clarity

FFS we are talking about THIS season !!!

He says in response to a comment about this season...

It's OK, it's only football...

 

[Gw2_James]

So Collingwood we're better in 2024 because they beat Carlton despite the fact that Carlton finished higher and are playing in finals?

If that's the case, then does that means Carlton and Collingwood were tied last year, as we both had one win against each other, despite the fact that the pies won the premiership?

Definitely mate, we were just as good as them.

Stay on track mate

I dunno man those young guys they just retained in Sidebottom and Cox have some pretty big potential.

Would not be surprised one bit if they took Collingwood to the next level in 2025.

Two players that have both achieved more in the game than any single player on Carlton's list.

That is, a premiership.

In Sidebottom's case, x 2.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

No Jack Ginivan no Pies.

Lol Jason Castagna has more flags than both of them.

Next.

So you can't reference any current Carlton players?

Thought so.

Do you think Sidebottom and Cox are due for a breakout year? I do worry for the Pies & where their improvement will come from.

You’re old as hell with absolutely no youth coming through. Your club is too arrogant to use the draft.

All good though you’re linked to Peracca, Smith, Lynch, Lukosious et al. You can use your 2032 1st rounder to get one of them or something.
