Banter Who will be better in 2024? Carlton or Collingwood?

[Wosh]

Mainly here so we can enjoy the LOLs afterwards at the end of 2023, but also an interesting discussion point.

I’m in genuine two minds and can’t call it, but who do you see finishing higher in 2023?

Who is positioned better from a list/team perspective?

Let the games begin…

Indeed they were.

Port took Carlton lightly, assuming they'd roll into town and take the points with half a team, then build for their crucial match against Collingwood the following week - a win giving them a huge psychological leg up leading into the finals.

For the third time, I reckon they'd do things differently if they had their time again... but they're the decisions a team needs to make when they're preparing for their September campaign.

Still makes no sense- even using your own twisted logic / biases

Why not play their best available against the 'easier' opponent and guarantee the 4 points?

oh that right only Collingwood coaches have a brain...

lol at your silly argument

You keep saying this as if they were missing half a dozen important players. 1 player top 10 in their b&f missing and they got smashed.
Not even the Port supporters were making the excuses u r

We actually had a pretty strong side that day looking back.

An insight in to what we can do when reasonably healthy, perhaps.

Can't remember who was out prior to the game but I was at the game and pretty sure McKay went off really early with a knee? And someone else was a really late out because I think Motlop came in and kicked like 4 in a half.

Yeah McKay went off with a knee. Can’t recall the late out.

Was he missing one when he came on?

Might have been Owies or something - pretty sure it was a small forward that Motlop was a late in for.

Are you disputing the fact Port turned up to Marvel Stadium with a less than full strength team against Carlton, as they wanted to ensure they could put their best foot forward at home against a genuine premiership contender - the team they were at the time challenging for top spot - the following week?

Given the results of both games, I suspect they'd do things differently if they had the chance...

Surely your not suggesting having best 22 players out can impact a result?

Am i wrong?

What injuries

 

[Rustin Cohle]

thud

Good lord Carlton look slow. A team with actual pace and foot skills just outclass them in every aspect.

This Sydney team will make any team look slow. But yeh Carlton don't seem to want to work hard enough.

Where are the blues fans who call premiership superstar Nick Daicos soft? Gee whiz Carltons plodder midfield, never seen such a bunch of soft prima donnas scared to lay a tackle or apply any sort of defensive pressure.

Ah well they will always have the prelimiership they won last year.

Sammi Walsh can’t cope with a soft tag!

Essendon.

Does anyone think Carlton are back to tanking ?

 

[South of the Yarra]

Come on everyone, this is unfair, ease up, they had Fogarty out.

 

[matey]

All this talk of Carlton having the best 5 players in the comp and then spending so much time rating them in importance from 1-5 …… funny.

 

[doppleganger]

Carlton are easy to play against.

Need better coaching and structures.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Bringing Pittonet back into the side was the turning point

Did they even win the prelimiership ? Thought they were smashed by Brisbane ?

So predictable with their forward entries. don't know how to lower the eyes and lets hope they never learn. but don't forget, they,ve got curnow and McKay, lol. Welcome to modern football blues, big key forwards are becoming more of a liability than an assett. I love our modern small forward line

Where have all our Carlton friends gone ?

Coooooowweeeeeeeeeeeeee
