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

[Fadge]

You even had Saints and Bombers finishing top 4

Funniest stuff ever

Saints AND Bombers?

Did I?

Really?

Or did I mention that with each of them paying $10 for top 4, $5 was good odds about either one of them finishing top 4....

Where were Essendon on the ladder when Carlton won their June Premiership?

"Loaded up"?

 

[Chronz]

Jeepers.

That's a lot.

I wonder what the probability is of that number is of increasing to the magic 20 million number?

Hmmmm.

If they don't snag a flag with Cripps, Walsh and Curnow then it's going to be a minimum 20 mil.

 

[leon123]

So you are finally conceding you have no idea when it comes to predictions. I mean, did you not have Tigers and North in the bottom 4?

Oh my



What's the excuse/reason for the Pies spending most of their time south of the border, linguistics?

I think it may have something to do not playing twice, really, really terrible teams ie having an unfair advantage. You guys arent terrible, but really terrible in finals, ooops i meant final.

0 to 60

Sounds like an, after the fact, poor mexican excuse

0 finals, opps, final

True, i agree, we failed, didnt make finals by a tiny percentage, after winning the grandfinal the year before, and finals the previous. Note not singular but plural... finals, you know, more that one.

0 to 60

True, but if we are going to quote great grand parent stats, its all even stevens. In modern times, like, lets call that the internet and cars with abs brakes, we are doing better, its not deniable. But, the cherry who gets to 17 first. With a 0 to 60 final perfomance.... mmm, but as you will point out, we didnt even make finals.

But, 0 to 60

I find it funny when people want to create their own specific timeline, especially in a 2024/2025 thread

But, 0 finals mexico

Weren't you saying you would prefer Tom Mitchell to Charlie Curnow in a finals game in 2025?

I wonder what "every coach in the league" would think about that

Faaarken oath. Mitchell over invisible little boy lost in Finals Curnow , take a look at Mitchell!s 2023 GF. Nullified Neale , got plenty of the pill himself , saved the game in the last 30 seconds to put his head over the incoming traffic , you can keep show pony Shirley Temple. I take substance (Mitchell) over a prima Donna (Curnow) by the length of the Flemington straight .

I agree, but lets be honest for both camps, its all about having one on each other, next to reach the next gf will have bragging rights until its beaten.

Aren't these threads about who is better, cough, finishes higher in a season?

2024 is over, but still current

Agreed, and end of the day, you made a final, you will improve next year by making another final, and you will improve from the experience.

0 to 50... im trying to be positive, ten point improvement

0 to 60

 

[Matrix10]

And yet another reminder of our flag!

Meanwhile, Carlton have the once in a decade flukey finals appearances!

Funny you mention that Fadge , am friends with Carlton Norm Smith medalist 26 , won 4 straight bets with David , 4 slabs of Peroni my way as those magnificent Magpies rolled them each time , he went into hibernation , betting wise after that , this year he was confident, said , “ let’s go”. Peroni my way , or slab of lemonade his way , as he has been off the grog for over 9 months. Pies roll the Blosers again , . I couldn’t take another slab off him. I told him to put it towards his son , Cooper , who has Prader Willi syndrome. I very much doubt he will have the palle to go again in 2025. Damn. Gotta buy my own Peroni.

Poor Pie supporters, their output closer to the Saints over the last 60 odd years

Still makes me laugh

Post 10000 of Carlton fans trying to punch down on St Kilda, refusing to acknowledge that St Kilda has been immensely more competitive as a football club for a good 25 years

 

[Bagger72]

Collingwood in Dads Army territory trying to keep the flame alive. Any injuries to that list and they are bottom four.

All im trying to say is, last time you won a gf, eptos wasnt invented. Only brown paper bags. With the introduction of electronic money transfers and monitoring, why havent you won a gf... brown paper bags still exist

If it wasn't for Carlton, you wouldn't even be in this competition.

The 21st century is still current.

Probability that Carlton doesn't win a premiership in the 21st century?

Let me check my abacus...

But I'll tell you as a start.... it's infinitely more probable than Collingwood not winning a premiership in the 21st century.

So like Carlton if they have injuries to any of their top 6, as was proven this year when De Koning went down and there were only 3 teams worse than them over the last 9 rounds of the season?

Yep.

I rate the St. Kilda 2009/10 team as comfortably in the top 10 teams since the turn of the century.

Carlton's best team since the turn of the century is this current one - back to back finals qualifiers, with 2 finals wins in 2023! But this team wouldn't be in the top 150 teams we've seen since the turn of the century.

 

[Fadge]

Oh I believe you

The facts are...

Tom Mitchell has been a very strong finals performer, over multiple finals series, throughout his career.

Charlie is yet to have a single strong finals game, let alone finals series.

Why wouldn't someone go with the proven finals performer, over someone who is inexperienced in finals, and is 0 from 3 in relation to strong finals performances, in them?
