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

[HeathySure]

Did you watch Melbourne against Collingwood round 24 . Couldn't get an easier time to play those plodders.
Freo - well , it's freo . You reckon our form was bad in August. Those clowns couldn't win a game.

you must have forgotten we beat Brisbane to knock them out of the top 4

C'mon Worm be serious
Freo will give top 4 a shake. Did you see the quality they added to their list in trade period? Thats how it's done Carlton!
Melbourne is still a much tougher gig than North or West Coast.

So Melbourne's form from round 24 2024 will continue into 2025, but for Carlton 'next year will be different'?

Yep.

When a team falls short of premiership contention, the idea is to improve their list to close the gap.

Carlton meanwhile rely on 'better luck with injuries' and a couple of 18 year old draftees, whilst trading out durable and reliable best 22 players.

We were 2nd when De Koning went down and he'll be back and he's not 18.

 

[BloodRet]

both will be shit. carlton tho. carlton 10th collingwood 13th

 

[Fadge]

Lose one player and you drop from 2nd (courtesy of your soft draw) to the 16th best team in the competition (once you started to play some better teams regularly).

Fickle.

We finished in the 8, your post is factually wrong.

No, playing melbourne when their season is shot is a guaranteed 4 points in the bank

 

[Worm4]

Is that what he said?

He is having massive comprehension problems today. Meds.....

It's almost like when you play a team is pretty significant. Who would have thought

Nah.

Collingwood playing Melbourne is very similar to Collingwood playing Carlton- a guaranteed 4 points regardless of when we play them.

"Nah"

So you disagree with my post that when you play a team matters?

It doesn't matter when Collingwood play Carlton or Melbourne.

Guaranteed 4 points for Collingwood (unless the game is a dead rubber).

Of course it is when you consider every game you lose a dead rubber

So you are conceding playing the Demons twice is a softer draw

 

[Fadge]

Nope.

Just that Collingwood are much better than Carlton, and we're more likely to get 16 points from our double ups against the Ubershizen Bloosers and Demons than Carlton are against North and West Coast.

Feel free to highlight any game a Collingwood poster has referred to as a dead rubber that wasn't a dead rubber.

Go.

Didn't Melbourne beat you in Round 13 2023? I have never heard of a dead rubber in Round 13

Shame it didn't pan out for you that way this year, the season as a whole

Just lulling them into a false sense of security.

You know what happened in 2023, don't you?

You winning the GF doesn't change the fact that you were not playing dead rubbers in Round 13

Go.

You’re reading your future.

Pies side by side.

Carlton anxious about keeping their end up.

Is that fudgey I see there with the combover whining about the AFL fixture being unfair and pretending it is still 2023?
