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

[Fadge]

U keep making out as if Owies is irreplaceable... He's a complete spud idk wtf ur talking about? It's like when u nuffies say Cox or McSpud are big losses... They play a role but they suck

Except both Cox and McStay have played big games in big finals - something very few Carlton players have done...

 

[doppleganger]

Essendon couldn't beat Carlton though mate, now you're just talking rubbish.

Pretty straight forward I would have thought, give Essendon two extra gimme wins and they make finals...they dont need to beat Carlton, just North and Richmond.

It doesn't mean Essendon are a better team.

Penny might drop at some point, probably around the time you realise Carlton haven't had a 21st century top4 finish.

Owies is a spud it's true but he was your best small forward by a mile and your third highest goal scorer..You guys needed that spud.
And it's not like you've recruited a superstar like Schultz to replace him.

Harry McKay's turning circle?

 

[Robertio]

Harry McKay's turning circle?

Wrong again mate, Harry's is much bigger.

All this talk about Carlton getting rid of Kennedy and Owies, you have to wonder why these players weren't picked up by the Pies ?
They made an error in not topping up with depth players it seems

Players ranked 15 to 20 for Carlton would be 30 to 35 for Collingwood.

So to add them to Collingwood's list, it would make it 0.5% better, but by Carlton trading them out, it makes your list 7.5% worse.

Remember, they were good enough to play 47 of a possible 48 games at Carlton in 2024.

That defies logic considering where both sides finished in 2024

You literally just make up numbers as evidence for your point. It's extraordinary

Nice Carlton logic. Both sides finished on exactly the same points mate.

 

[Robertio]

That's what percentage is for mate, it can put a team in finals and send another to Mexico.

Catch up with the conversation...
Yeah so your higher percentage this year logically means your 15-20 player are better than or equal to Collingwood's. Thats literally the " logic" he was spruiking.

 

[adammania9]

A certain Carlton supporting individual claimed in preseason 2023 that Kennedy would be Collingwood’s best midfielder. It still makes me chuckle to this day

No , I was questioning how a player ranked by your colleague as a 15-20 on carltons list is the equivalent of 30-35 on collingwoods given that both sides were pretty much even apart from %. It's not logical in the slightest

Have a look at the ladder, seems he's right.

Laughable mate.

Fair enough

Desperation.

Collingwood had a down year, whilst Carlton's ladder position was inflated by their double up games against the easy beats.

An aberration, as exemplified by the 2022 and 2023 results, and as we'll see in 2025.

That's why we've beaten Carlton in basically every meaningful game we've played in recent times.
