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

[Pistol Night]

Cripps - 29
Curnow - 27
Weitering - 27
McKay - 27
Walsh - 24
TDK - 25
Cerra - 25
E.Hollands - 22

I think we'll be fine for the next few years lmao.

Yeah just keep doing what you're doing id say.

 

[beema limapep]

Since when has that been a rule Maude Flanders? A Chrissy morning cone will make Pas stories awesome

The thing is, no matter who is or isn't punching cones, it's gunna have no bearing on whether Carlton can outrun its age profile.

Time stops for nobody.

 

[carlton_99]

Cripps - 29
Curnow - 27
Weitering - 27
McKay - 27
Walsh - 24
TDK - 25
Cerra - 25
E.Hollands - 22

I think we'll be fine for at least next few years lmao.

Add to that some good young kids coming through who will get some exposure this year and I don't think anyone Blues fan will be too worried about the near future.

The Pies on the other hand are stale, old and cooked. Oldest list in history with 1 player worth noting below the age of Cripps.

27 must be the new 30

I reckon Vossy might pull off some inspirational moves after a dutchy sesh in the box. Dimma won 3 flags half stoned

30 is a apt number next year.

 

[carlton_99]

You got Charlie for Norm Smith?

 

[beema limapep]

I presume Carlton have drafted players with premiership experience in the off season, or have bought in multiple players with extensive finals experience?

 

[Arr0w]

'A mass' means a large cohort (most) of their better players.

Next year players will be turning:-

Cripps 31
Williams 31
Saad 31
Dochery 32
Acres 30
McKay 28
Fantasia 30 (lol)
Newman 32
Weitering 28
Pittonet 29
Hewitt 30
Curnow 29
Haynes 33

Under 26 there is not much proven talent apart from Walsh, DeKoning and maaaayyybbbeeee Cerra to build a list around.

Really is their last year next year to try to jag a flag somehow.

Ummm you really are struggling here, but no surprise given your Carlton posting. Bizarre though as a Tigers supporter you'd be a Pies mouth piece

Cripps 31
30

Williams 31
31 September

Saad 31
31 July

Dochery 32
31 for the season

Acres 30
29 see Doc

McKay 28
27 see Doc

Fantasia 30 (lol)
30 September

Newman 32
First 1 right

Weitering 28
27 see Doc

Pittonet 29

Hewitt 30

Curnow 29

We needed to draft players with premiership experience? You talking TAC cup level or something?

 

[Pistol Night]

West? Big ask for a first year KPF but hes got some Jono Brown traits so good call

 

[carlton_99]

If he doesn't have the Jonno Brown voice does it really matter?

Well are there at least existing players on the list with premiership experience?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

I wonder how the Blues will ever rebuild post Cripps with a midfield consisting of TDK, Walsh, Cerra, Jagga and Cody Walker?

What a terrible future on the horizon

They have a few with 4 games experience. Pendles only has 30 or 40. Old geriatric boomer

They are all pushing 40 I'm afraid

Looks great on paper. Maybe we csn play the GF at Officeworks. System and coaching are probably more important than a nice looking team sheet. You've listed a potentially strong on ball brigade. Role players that fit in and excel are where the finishing touches are. And hoping they all stay healthy like us in 2023. How we won 3 finals in a row by under 10 points when that is usually bed shitting central is truly amazing

Pendles actuallly is

 

[carlton_99]

Pendles actuallly is

He is and still elite - maybe we can look forward to 22 years of Jagga

 

[Worm4]

I think Beema needs to turn his attention as to which minute of the first quarter he thinks he might want to turn the TV off , for the next 20 games or so.

Military like preparation and dedication is key. The bloke is at training day 1 every year with the 1-4 year players every year. I recon we lose in 2023 without him in that last quarter. Literally directing on filed. I think a lot of great players retire too early. Fine line though

Richmond might have outsmarted us all with Tassie coming in

The same level of analysis should be used on Beema's comments on our age profile.

Incredibly... We actually have young players on our list who will end up replacing Docherty, Newman, Cripps etc... we're in no rush to do so however.

 

[Worm4]

Sounds like more Carlton excuses to me.

Cripps turns 30 in March 2025 will be 31 before the next season. Curnow turning 28 in Feb will be 29 before the following season.

Imagine adding 2 years to each player on the Collingwood list in your discussion, fadge and his cohorts would be piling into you for making up boolshit and calling you a liar

We've got him with a speech therapist 3 days a week. Ball work can wait
