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

[Cyclops]

Just shows you how disciplined he is, everyone knows that Guinness is a health drink.

It has to be poured and drunk correctly. My Irish ancestors are howling like italians those "pineapple on pizza" reaction videos.

 

[Fadge]

Got no interest in trawling through your post history Fadge. Your incessant denigration of Carlton players has been going on long enough for everyone to know how you operate.

Without even looking I can just picture a post history filled with...

'Another individual award for .... '

'How many finals has he played in again?'

'Captain look at me'

'Free kick Curnow'

It's the same lines on repeat every year. You're the worst excuse for a troll in history

Yep.

I can see how 'Free kick Curnow' is extremely insulting to Cripps...

And I've NEVER used the statement 'Captain look at me'.

So instead of trawling through to find evidence of your baseless claims, you're content to just make shite up.

Consistent with your posting history.

Ironic coming from the poster who came up with...
'We've been reliably informed all afternoon that you don't want either Levi or Finn' only yesterday

You belittle and downplay Carlton players more than anyone on this site. It's okay to admit that Fudgey... We just want you to stop pretending ur not a troll!

Oh yes.

Yet another comment that illustrates my constant belittling of Cripps.

I suspect you've done a search and realised 'oops, he's been nothing but positive about Cripps throughout his career, but I'm not man enough to admit it, so instead I'll relate comments about Curnow and the upcoming draft to illustrate his constant bagging of Cripps...'

Pace and run? So all the qualities Nick has that all you hero’s call him a girl for? Crazy idea

Let's not generalise here

 

[Fadge]

Let's not generalise here

He wasn't generalising, he was responding to a specific poster, who is one of many 'heroes', who had in fact made said derogatory comments about Daicos...

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

'I never post negative about Cripps'

You forgot 0 times premiership players Cripps, Weitering, Walsh and Curnow (but they have plenty of individual awards).

'Cripps level of impact' - the guy who played his first finals of his decade long career in 2023, and had 13 disposals in a losing Preliminary Final?

Yep, that's some legacy he's building...

Cripps would be a similar example if you're trying to suggest you don't have to be a superstar to win a Brownlow.

Who's good at video editing?

I have a request for Cripps's dives in the ruck and marking contests, followed by Walsh's helicopter forward 50 entry with 2 minutes to go.

Glorious.

Reckon I've seen Cripps dive for about 3 free kicks in ruck contests and marking contests tonight.

Thoughts, Blues supporters?

Shittonet has the option to palm it down to the likes of Walsh and Cripps, it's just as effective smacking it on his boot 40 metres towards the goal and hope for the best.

Depends what your idea of 'Most Valuable Player' is.

Cripps won it in a year when Carlton won what 3 or 4 games.

In a competition where playing finals and winning premierships is the ultimate goal, one would question exactly how 'valuable' he was that year.

How many throws I mean handballs has Cripps had today?

So he's played in one more winning final in just one year of AFL than Cripps has in his 8? years?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Just admit you're a troll Fudgenator and we can all move on knowing what we all already knew

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I must have missed the 'facts' you've been posting...

Because here are the 'facts' as I understand them:
1. Houston met with Voss during the season and there was mutual interest re:Houston playing at Carlton;
2. Carlton were in the box seat to pick up Houston after he confirmed he was no longer interested in playing for Melbourne;
3. Collingwood swooped in and picked him up for around the same trade capital as Carlton had available.
4. There is no superstar at pick 3 (or 4) who will be a game changer in the short term.
5. Carlton's best players are in their prime right now, yet they're still a fair way off the better teams in the competition. If they want to contend for premierships, they need to improve their list immediately. Not plateau or go backwards as it appears they have done going into 2025.

So, how did Houston land at Collingwood again?

This is where you fall down.

We didn't want to overpay for a player at a position we have endless depth in: Saad, Newman, Cincotta, Docherty, Williams, Boyd... we'll take a superstar kid like FOS, Lalor, Smith or Draper and smash the Pies in the middle next season.

Houston will be doing a lot of defending at the Pies.

Yep, most of those comments are more about Carlton than Cripps.

And are you suggesting Cripps doesn't tend to throw the ball a lot when 'handballing', or on that particular night he didn't 'dive' in the ruck contests'?

I challenged you to share derogatory comments about Cripps that equate to 0.00005% of your derogatory comments about Daicos.

I reckon you got to 0.0000003%
