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

[Scritchyscroony]

this thread isn't about 'bravery' or Sh*tness in your case - it is about who finishes higher out of two middling sides or havent you figured that out yet?

You still think Carlton's a "middling side"
Who's the one who hasn't figured stuff out yet?

 

[Fadge]

The way I see it is that Carlton lack finishers and big match clutch players. You can trust Macrae's Pies more in those tense moments compared to Voss' Blues. A couple of games in 2023 were the only time the latter looked like stepping up in that way.

Too many undamaging accumulators and scrappers at Carlton.

Have you seen enough to revise your bullish pre-season prediction about them?

Don't say I didn't warn you...

 

[Corn Cobbers]

It's 2025 - Carlton aren't middling, they're back amongst the bottom 4 where they are most comfortable.

Meanwhile, Pies are 2 and 1 after 3 games against last year's finalists. Will take that any day of the week.

Pies contenders, Blues bottom 4, neither side is "middling"

Just embrace the fact that your mob is as relevant as the Blues - and be happy. It will be a tussle for who goes better as a non contending middling Club - admittedly your mob have the benefit of 3 exrtea players every week as evidenced tonight but hey age has its privileges I guess.

btw I enjoyed watching a teenager make your Captain look like the weird prancing useless one on one defender and walking hairdo that he is - that was amusing.

Pffft.

Blues are the least relevant team in the comp nowadays, and have been for more than two decades.

But they've been great entertainment value over that time...

I still think they'll bounce back and have a strong run at some stage. But they need to start banking wins quickly. It's been a worrisome start.

 

[JustaBattler]

The trajectories of our sides since then has been very different. Carlton have been a bottom 4 performer since.

It is Martch it must be season over ya reckon? Or are you buying the jungle juice and snake oil your buddy fuddgee sells?

Can't see them getting near the Dogs next week, Blues too slow and klutzy

Oh, and I enjoyed watching a team of teenagers destroy Carlton's season before it started...

THUD!

Why do you type like that? As in, the deliberate respelling of basic words and bizarre phrases resembling a homeless man on a 6 day bender.

I enjoyed watching the blues captain jog after a guy who calls himself a wizard as he strolled into a goal in the 4th quarter on Thursday

I dont drink and I dont care about typage on a page - go figure.

Im sure you did - so what?

Okay, maybe something NQR upstairs then. No worries.

Im not worried and you dont need to be either - you've got enough obvious and on display problems with yourself to be concerned about - good luck with all that btw - seriously all the best.

 

[nahnah]

Look at Tubby Cripps go

No worries, thankfully you don't sound bitter or unhinged at all - time to move back to a football discussion!

Watch it, Mr Meow - you're about to get an 'I'm glad I'm not you...'

They haven't looked fit to me.

Carlton do butcher the ball an awful lot.
And
They do shit the bed when the pressure really gets dialled up.

You are not the only one who has noticed these things Meow.

Planning to peak in September.

Schultz was really good tonight. If he keeps it up I may have to find a new whipping boy.
