Banter Who will be Better in 2025, Collingwood or Carlton? Part 4

[Fadge]

What does that matter? If either player were worth writing about they'd be in the starting 22 not coming on as a sub every other game.

Not with the depth at Collingwood.

Collingwoods depth?

Where?

I don't see it in the AFL? A bit of bad luck with injuries and you didn't even make the 8.

Ah, it must be in the VFL.

Wait, your VFL finished 2nd last, with a % of 76! You lost to Carltons VFL (depth) by 83 points & got done by 50+ points on 4 other occasions.

Killer depth man!

The depth that allows us to toy with your miserable team in every game that's not a dead rubber - that depth.

 

[Arr0w]

Dead rubbers are back, perhaps Pies should have won more of them to make finals

Perhaps Carlton need to play more teams who are playing dead rubbers, to get that elusive top 4 spot that has evaded them this century.

Collingwood missing the finals in 2024 had nothing to do with depth, it was some of our stars who in prime ages that didnt show up.

DeGoey, Moore, IQ, Maynard were well down in 2024 when they were on the park - would expect much bigger impact and output from these guys in 2025.

And in the first month it was really only GOATcos and Cameron who consistently had a crack, many senior players still had full bellies - again this shouldnt be the case in 2025

Perhaps Carlton could have won more games of football in the last quarter of a century if they weren't shite.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Someone from the Pies side please just explain how the f*** Macrae or Long are better players than Kennedy or Cerra???

Anybody. Please!

Flags in the last 60 odd years

8 to 3

I'm still waiting for an explanation on Bianco being the next Pendlebury

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Not with the depth at Collingwood.

The depth u said were all injured through the year???

Where were Macrae and Longs call ups? Macrae was huge against West Coasts traffic cones with a career high 17 touches...

 

[Fadge]

Someone from the Pies side please just explain how the f*** Macrae or Long are better players than Kennedy or Cerra???

Anybody. Please!

1. Kennedy is no longer on Carlton's list, so it's a moot point.

2. I don't recall any Collingwood poster suggesting they were better than Cerra. More imagining.

 

[Fadge]

Flags in the last 60 odd years

8 to 3

Can you now do that for:

1. The last 2 years;
2. The last 15 years;
3. The last 35 years;
4. Since the beginning of the competition.

Thanks in advance.

Did you not say that both Long and Macrae would be getting regular games for Carlton?

Who are they displacing from the midfield??? We'll go with the 2025 edition given u want to back out of ur Kennedy comments.

Cripps
Walsh
Cerra
Hewett
Docherty
Jagga

Whoever from Walsh, Cerra, Hewett and Docherty are out injured at the time. There's bound to be at least two of them.

So none?

Cooper Lord also showed in 2 games more than Macrae has his entire career. So he'd more likely be next cab off the rank ahead of him.

Your depth is pretty ordinary mate.

 

[Fadge]

Your depth is pretty ordinary mate.

Far better than Carlton's.

That's why we've contended for premierships in 2 of the past 3 years, whereas Carlton haven't contended for a premiership in more than two decades.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

I'd love to hear about this depth at the Pies. Where are they hiding? Who are they? Why is it whenever we see one of the names come in for a game they are absolutely putrid just like they are in the VFL...

 

[Robertio]

Any chance of talking about this year at all?

 

[Fadge]

'This year' is a subset of 'the past 3 years'.

If you're referring to 'next year', oh of course... 'next year will be different!' (In the deluded world of a Carlton supporter).

Why is ur VFL team so garbage then?

You can turn around and say ours is too, and that's fair. But why is ur 2s team even worse than ours if your depth is 'far better'? It makes no sense Fudgey

Pies list is one Nicky injury away from complete and utter capitulation. If that's what they call depth they need a lobotomy.

Collingwood would manage without Daicos far better than Carlton would manage without Cripps. Or Weitering, Or De Koning. Or Curnow.

Collingwood won a Qualifying Final without Daicos.

Carlton got humiliated in an Elimination Final without Curnow.

In 2023 you did. In 2024 even with a full season from Squibs you couldn't make the 8.

Who are the Pies depth players that would come in and fill the void? You can't honestly say Fin Macrae without being laughed out of here.
