Analysis Who will be better in 2025? Carlton or Hawthorn?

[carlton_99]

One is playing in the bottom team, the other is playing in a top 14 team.

Much easier for the latter than the former.

But you said West Coast were "licking their lips to play Carlton twice". Odd thing to say about a team that is better...

If he was any good he'd be having an impact there and not struggling to get a kick

Who will be better in 2025. Hawthorn or Carlton?

And here were are. Carlton supporters arguing over who is better. Motlop or 0wies. **** me you can't make this up.

Is it us or your Pie mate that brought up Owies? And then you brought up Motlop. I'm just sticking to the topic of conversation.

Nah we're the ones bringing them up mate. Of course...

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

I think Hawks have better small forwards, but Carlton are closing in with likes of Motlop and Durdin.

Imagine if they also still had Owies?

Yeah right. Imagine the sallery cap issues?

Uh oh, Waslshys back from the beach. 0wies would be your best small forward.

Mmm...

How did Carlton lose to Richmond? We weren't great today, missing arguably 7 of our best 22 and still beat them by 11 goals

 

[Delisted]

Mmm...

And here you are arguing it.

 

[Fadge]

Mmm...

So not appropriate to highlight differences in the respective lists when comparing the two teams?

How dare we!

We were on track to do that at half time. Then we went asleep at the wheel and forgot how to kick, mark or handball a footy.

It's not appropriate to whinge about a discussion that you and the poster instigated.

We made more basic errors in the 2nd half than the local Auskick team. Fumbles, dropped marks, missed 5m handballs. It truly was bizarre.

We had Sicily doing that as well

Still wondering how you think Owies is an upgrade of any of the spuds we have out there. He was the biggest spud of the lot.

Hence why he's no longer on our list.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

We had the entire team doing it simultaneously.

One player you can get away with. Our whole team did it for the last 60 minutes of the game after being up by 7 goals.

 

[carlton_99]

We did also beat a team the Hawks and self-proclaimed premiership favourites lost to. Issue is as it always has been with Carlton their frustrating inconsistency within the season. Gap between their best and worst is still far too large.

I brought up 0wies and Motlop. I did.

But this is where your "gotcha" moment fails. You were seriously debating about 0wies and Motlop.

It does not matter who is better. They are both extremely shite. However discuss at your will. Good day.

You said Owies was the best of our small forwards. I disagreed. Apologies for having an opinion.

Yeah but we did have the entire team kicking it like Auskickers for the match

Um... Huh?

Maybe that's true but my point was more highlighting the gap between Carlton's best and worst being too large.

Still clinging to your solitary good win in 2025.


Very Richmondy.

Not clinging on to anything. Just speaking facts.

Carlton have played 5 games against decent teams, and won one of them - a game Chris Scott commented about how bad he thought his team played.

So maybe it's not really about the difference between Carlton's best and worst, but instead occasionally catching a team on an off day to claim a rare good win.

In the same way that Richmond beat Sydney last year.
