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

[Corn Cobbers]

Basically the equivalent of what Carlton have produced for the entire 21st century.

Well above that imo

 

[Fadge]

Well above that imo

I was being gentle on them.

They've copped a pasting in recent times...

 

[adammania9]

Well above that imo

Carlton have only finished in the top 50% of the ladder 8 times in 24 attempts this century

Sub mid-table

 

[Robertio]

Sub mid-table

Ninth is mid table mate, who finished 9th this season?

 

[Fadge]

Ninth is mid table mate, who finished 9th this season?

Desperate reach.

 

[Robertio]

Desperate reach.

It's the truth and fact no matter what you rave on about.

 

[Milanista28]

I've got both years right so far, Pies then blues.

I'm going back to the Pies for 2025, you're welcome Pies fans!

 

[Fadge]

As the ultimate authority on mid and lower table teams, what ladder position/s qualify as high, mid and lower table teams?

How have you gone over the last 24 years?

Because I've got it right 21 times.

Dumbest question I've seen on here, there's 18 teams in the comp, Pies finished right in the middle.

 

[Fadge]

Really?

Because there were 8 teams above us, and 9 teams below us.

So back to my original question - upper, mid and lower table ladder positions?

Go.

 

[Fadge]

It would be interesting to go back through this thread and work out how many times Collingwood supporters have schooled Carlton nuffies on:
Mathematics
Comprehension
Context
Finals Systems
Ladder Positions
Anything else

It has been a very interesting case study on the demographics of the two supporter bases.

Go.

Pies and Freo are mid table, below them are lower above them all played finals so are high.

 

[Fadge]

Pies and Freo are mid table, below them are lower above them all played finals so are high.

Good to see that a 'high' ladder position for Carlton supporters is 8th and above...

I guess it's all relative.

Higher than the Pies mate.

 

[Fadge]

Higher than the Pies mate.

North were higher than Richmond too.

But great to see Carlton supporters are now so accepting of mediocrity.

'8th position is a high ladder finish'.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Well above that imo

Yeah you'd expect their average ladder position for the 21st C would be well below 9th.
Someone should work it out.

 

[Robertio]

You're having trouble sticking to 2024-25 aren't you? I have a fair idea why.

 

[Fadge]

The median would be even more interesting....

 

[Scritchyscroony]

The median would be even more interesting....

Sounds like a job for our numbers man.

 

[Fadge]

2024-25

The years of the Carlton Juggernaut.

2024 - high finish on the ladder in 8th position.

2025 - great expectations heading into the season.

Such an intimidating record for a Collingwood supporter to swallow.

 

[Fadge]

Sounds like a job for our numbers man.

Oh no.

Carlton's median ladder finish since 2001 is....

13th!!!!!!!

And given there have only been 16 teams in the competition for nearly half that time, that is quite an effort!
