Hindsight at it's best, we'll wait for the next couple of years and see how you fare.I believe Carlton not making the 8 was also part of that prediction.
Thank god they allowed me to get part of it right...
Happy to be told where I've been wrong about Carlton since I joined BigFooty nearly 15 years ago...
Happy for you to share those specific predictions.
All I recall saying was that BOTH Melbourne AND Carlton would not be replacing perennial finalists West Coast AND Collingwood.
1 prediction, which was in fact correct.
Near impossible.Yes, I see now from your wise counsel it is a particularly weak point for me. So educate me.

He only predicts the past mate.Already asked him where Carlton would finish ... apparently needs more time to formulate an equation for finishing ...

The fact my analysis and predictions about Carlton have been correct for the past 15 years is regarded as hindsight?!?Hindsight at it's best, we'll wait for the next couple of years and see how you fare.

Who/what am I dealing with here?!?
Ed is the least of our issues. Until someone outside the likes of Walsh, Hewett, Cerra can find/win the ball as much as he can, he will remain in the side

So am i mate.Why bother with the troll Rob. Obviously just passing time until Mum brings him his dinner
I don't believe either team will be contending within the next three years.
I think we're about to enter a new era of super teams, like we saw between 2009 and 2011 with Geelong/Pies/Saints, where 3 or 4 teams will put a gap between themselves and the rest of the competition.
Melbourne
Doggies
Maybe Port or (less likely) Sydney
I'm not sold on Brisbane.
So am i mate.
Cripps is pretty good at finding the footy, especially when he's not playing injured. Hopefully this improves under Voss.
Look, I know making the finals would be the equivalent of winning a premiership for Carlton supporters, but as I mentioned earlier, I believe there will be a period of super teams for the next 3 or so years who will put a gap between themselves and the rest of the competition.Try and stick to the criteria, Pies v Carlton.
In the next 3 years, Pies will not contend/make finals ahead of Carlton. Yes or No

Neither Carlton nor Collingwood will be one of those teams, so I don't really care to predict if either of those teams will be making up the numbers in the top 8.
Can't conclusively answer that.Easy to fix, we can remove the 3 year time frame
Pies won't contend/make finals before Carlton. Yes or No?
Can't conclusively answer that.
At the moment neither side has the makings of a premiership contender, so I would need to use the following logic:
1. Carlton have failed to contend for a premiership in each of their previous three rebuilds.
2. Collingwood have successfully contended for premierships in each of their previous three rebuilds.
Based on the above, I'd have to go with Collingwood being the first to contend for a premiership of the two teams.
But this thread is about Carlton.
What does contend/make finals even mean?I know it's a Carlton thread, hence the the comparisons to other sides. At lease you have, somewhat, answered the question, that you believe the Pies will contend/make finals before Carlton.
That being the case, finally a definitive call, what I propose is this. The loser will have their username changed for a year to reflect - "I am actually a closet supporter of <insert opposition name>"
Chief could make the changes once one of our sides makes the 8
Deal?
Yep, and you truly believe that...Technically Carlton have ‘contended’ the same number of times Collingwood have the past 30 years.
Thirdly, why would I want to make a bet with someone I don't even know?
