Rolling Flag Contenders 2024

[My Tilly]

I worry for Melbourne that they are becoming the Geelong of 2012 - 2021. Around the top 4 (and a team that you need to beat if you want to be a top side) but never the best team in any given year.

That's a good summation actually.
Unlike you though, I don't worry as I'm happy to see them drop off.

They have had generational talent in the form of Oliver, Petracca and Gawn. Seldom rarely do you get this in the one midfield unit and only make it to a solitary grand final.
If they can't get there again in 2024, they are going to really fall away without any ruck or KPD prospects to alleviate Gawn and May's imminent decline.

GWS v Carlton GF is my tip

If fully fit I think Carlton take it.

I agree with Jake

I agree with Jake

Who the hell is Jake

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Who the hell is Jake

Never heard of him, but I know a smart man when I see one...

 

[Donakebab]

Never heard of him, but I know a smart man when I see one...

He also thinks the 4.35pm Saturday game could be a marquee timeslot.

Clearly not very bright.

[My Tilly]

Jake a bit salty?
Look forward to meeting Carlton again in the finals

 

[PhatBoy]

Sadly for teams like us in 2008 and North in 1998 you don’t get to claim Expected Flags so who cares Jake

 

[Mr Meow]

I agree with Jake

Tim was far less salty and a lot more accurate.

Jake has confessed to doubling down on tipping against Geelong weekly, being furious when he gets it wrong and trying to explain why deep down he was sort of right.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Looking forward to Sportsbet making a deposit in my account for last week now that Jake has spoken.

Major lol at the Freo bloke in the comments.

Good read for any Dees or Cats fan....or anyone who's not a Freo fan really.

What the hell is a Tim Miller!

I agree with Jake

Essentially, losers with excuses

We lost this time around, next time we play I'm pretty confident the blues will get it done without many issues. Cats midfield is fairly weak at the moment which imo will be exposed by the Sydney teams and others.

This is a thread about flag contenders in season 2024 and the only team Geelong supporters want to talk about is Carlton.

Feels good.

They are literally responding to a Carlton supporter talking about Geelong, lol.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Hmmm I dont remember saying anything about Geelong... Just that I agree with Jake that the Blues were the better team playing last Saturday and look in better shape for a crack at the flag.

The better team

Yep, just an unlucky night for the Bluebaggers. Geelong had everything going their way and still barely got over the line

Given carltons record of being "unlucky" in big games, hopefully this trend turns for you

 

[Seattle Mariners]

I’m a Melbourne supporter and I’m declaring us out of the race.

We’re just not good enough and have a sub par coach.

Carlton, GWS, Sydney, Geelong and Collingwood (if they actually get their arse into gear) are the contenders.

Big game? It was a home and away game in round 7?

Haven't seen many big games over the years but we went alright last year winning 2 and losing 1.
