Yes, you are correct, Leon.

It was 0 and 60 before Brisbane put the cue in the rack.

I'm still devastated I wasn't watching that game live that night, and still haven't seen it.

I might have to stream it at some stage over the Christmas break...
Sorry to hear you missed it man.
It was hilarious to watch. At the same time keeping track of the Carlton GameDay thread just made it even funnier.
Then my non Australian wife who has NFI about AFL was coming in now and then and making comments like " what's wrong with that team. They can't score" . "Why is their score still 0? I go away for 20 minutes and they are still 0?"🤣..... had me in stitches....
Carlton never lets u down...

It was comedy gold... like a team of Benny Hills running around chasing the other team

'They're the team that never let [Collingwood supporters] down'....
 
Same thing I thought about us. Not good enough on the "day".
But wouldn't base my overall judgement on it.

Geez, i thought you were being reasonable. But you credit our two draws as losses, only beating you by a few points... twice. The later could fairly be described as not good enough on the day.

But 0 to 60, cant be described as not good enough on the day. Only can politely be described as comedy gold.... you have to acknowledge. Not even a rushed behind... zero, zip, nothing the big zero. No chop mate

Your adopted team have won just over 50% of their games each year for the past 3 years, and have been completely outclassed in their most recent final.

I therefore rate Carlton as a mid table team.

What do you base your rating on? Let me guess... their last halves in games against Brisbane in 2024?
 
We should've won both games we were better, one mistake and one bad decision was the difference. If the ladder is annoying Pie supporters i won't put it up again, maybe :cool:
Is the ladder reflective of who was better in 2024?

I am sure GWS fans are happy to remind Lions fans they were better in 2024.

When finals start the ladder becomes irrelevant but if you can't even make finals you can't claim to be better than a team that did.

Essentially, the ladder tells you who the best eight teams were but finals orders those eight teams.

We can, we will, and we are.

Collingwood were better than Carlton in 2024.

Suck it up, and stop deluding yourself.

Brisbane showed in the first half of the Elimination Final that Carlton had no right being there, and had only qualified courtesy of their double up games against Richmond and North Melbourne.

Anyone with an iota of intelligence is aware of that.

Not my adopted team. Keep telling you but you are too one eyed to back down or even consider you are incorrect.
You keep talking about how many games we've won in the past
If you want to judge us by one half against the premiers that's fine. I'll judge your lot on their performances against Gold Coast, Essendon and we'll throw in NM even though the umps got you that win.

You don't have an iota of intelligence though.

I'll judge both teams by their performances over the last 3 years.

Collingwood come out on top. Comfortably.
 
You know people have no real idea when they pull stuff like this out to "prove" they are right. Height of arrogance
Really, carlton are the pinnacle of arrogance, you creep into the eight and you think you are premier material. Whats cooking here

0 to 60

Yes pies dint make finals, when was your last gf appearance, when was your last gf win
 
No more than your 33 games at the G. I don't use the fixture as an excuse for poor performances over a season
If Carlton were a powerhouse, they'd have the same number of games at the MCG as us.

That's what happens when teams play Collingwood and want to maximise their revenue.

But you're deflecting.

In a season where 7% separated 8th and 9th on the same number of premiership points, what impact would the 8th placed team having played the two teams that managed 5 wins between have had?

Not deflecting at all - we are just different. If we missed finals and Pies made it I put my hate for Collingwood aside and admit they were better. The whole point of the H+A season is to qualify for finals.

Fixturing, umpiring, weather etc are all swings and roundabouts - if you are good enough you still finish above teams you are truly better than after a 6 month season.

Poor Bagger fans really battle with the ladder.

The ladder really should be a pretty simple concept. It orders teams based on points earnt from H&A fixture.

But as not all H&A fixtures are equal, it is a flawed approach to then jump to a higher ladder position = who is better. Especially when two teams have the same points.
