Banter Who will be better in 2025? Carlton or Collingwood Part 5

[Fadge]

You think pies are a genuine contender this year?

Did I say that?

 

[Tadpole]

Did I say that?

I don't think you did. "Regularly contends" doesn't necessarily equate to being a contender in 2025. We may be, but it's much too early in the season to say so definitively.

 

[CarmenSandiego]

How the **** is the cap tight?

Horrible list management if that is the case.

tied up in our good players, i assume - all of the below would be on big money. and you can say they're overpaid now, but at the time of signing their contract, they would've received huge offers from the market.

cripps, walsh, weitering, mckay, curnow, cerra - and now TDK is set to be a $1m player - which I don't think the club expected. i'd say a lot of those contracts were backended. i like to think the williams contract has ****ed us a bit too.

It should be, Doc, Saad, Hollands is a poor group of rebounding half back flankers.

saad, newman (past 2x runner up bnf), doc, e hollands, o hollands, boyd, z williams if necessary. not a great group but not horrible. certainly not our weakest area in the ground, but of course we needed him.

A dual all Australian in their prime supposedly wants to come to your club, but you decide you don't need him...

voss knew we needed him, he was desperate for him, list management couldn't get it done, for reasons (assumptions) I explained.

Players gave good effort last night, but you need someone who can break and line and has good disposal...

saad is extremely capable of this (as we saw in bursts last night). due to poor system, lack of cohesion or just a stick up the players arses, we can't release him enough. newman too. if houston was playing last night he'd be under extreme pressure and unable to find a gap like everyone else imo, becuase he's surrounded by peanuts.

Yes.

I suspect it was a poor attempt in vain at a Gotcha.

Nice effort though, a bit like his footy team last night. Very brave, despite being completely outclassed - much like their interactions with me.

Saad was very good 3 years ago.

But so was Mitch Duncan. He's deadly by foot in all the wrong ways now.

Similar story for Docherty. It's an area they need refreshed, badly.

Newman going down has made it a massive problem.

 

[Bluechip66]

God yeah. Id kill to get a job paying $42k to be a witches hat for 2 hours.

Me too!

3 out of 5 isn't bad, 5 for rabbit last week was a rort

You want Cripps to get 5 votes for the Brownlow?

 

[South of the Yarra]

Bag the Blues all you like, bag the players all you like but never ever doubt the courage of Sam Docherty. He has shown more courage than any player on any current team list.

 

[Arr0w]

Was talking about coaches votes, clearly

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Merge them with the Saints they are rubbish

Yes, I know.
P Cripps to win the Brownlow
N Daicos to win the coaches award.
How else are we going to achieve world peace (or decent banter)?

 

[Worm4]

Did I say that?

I'm aware, its a genuine question

He just had a brain fade. Happens to the best of them.

To be honest I think Mcrae gave McStay 5 votes.

 

[Robertio]

Yep.

You guys have the joy of watching Daicos for another dozen years dominate the competition in a team that regularly contends for the premiership, whilst I have the joy of watching Carlton bumble along, making mistake after mistake and flipping between the bottom four and finals contention, without ever genuinely contending for a premiership.

Glorious.

FMD same shit over and over, go outside and smell the roses mate, at least think of something new .

 

[Freomaniac]

no it's a 23 game season

 

[Fadge]

FMD same shit over and over...

Whilst Carlton continue to produce it, I can continue to highlight it.

Indeed.

Getting personal, and pulling out the 'At least I'm not you' line, after round 2.

It's going to be another long year for them, in what has been a very long century.

Should just do the courageous thing and hang up the boots.

He's been a warrior but he's past it now.

i thank god every day for this.

 

[Fadge]

i thank god every day for this.

You must be going well, having to do so about someone you know absolutely nothing about...

 

[CarmenSandiego]

You must be going well, having to do so about someone you know absolutely nothing about...

oh i know enough, trust me

 

[Fadge]

oh i know enough, trust me

I'm sure you do...

In the same way all you guys 'knew' 2025 was going to be different for Carlton, and it was the year they were finally going to genuinely contend for the premiership.

Dur Hur Hur.

 

[nahnah]

Only a Collingwood supporter could watch that game and have this as their conclusion regarding umpiring yesterday. Genuinely bizarre

How so?
