No. I said a lot of Carlton’s better current players did turned to shit last September, whereas the Pies players have proven otherwise. I’m not baiting, I’m pointing out something that’s a very important difference between the two sides right now. If you want to refute that by bringing up the...

Use your own judgement, you made the statement. Which players on the Pies list are the poor finals performers that you spoke ok?

Who from the Pies current list do you think have been consistently poor finals performers?

Exactly. It’s almost like past performances are an important part of forming future predictions….

True enough, I misspoke there. Nothing is guaranteed. My point is that proven performers are a far safer prediction than players that have showed that their performance actively drops under September pressure.

Fair point. I phrased myself poorly. It’s not guaranteed that anyone will show up or not and perform. I should’ve said given the fact that the most important Pies players have actively shown they have stepped up in September, while many of the most important Blues players have done the...

Absolutely it is. But the question is will they step up this finals or not? We know the Collingwood players will. I’m not sure which part you’re disagreeing with to be honest.

I guess that’s your right to your opinion. I’m not sure anyone can form any kind of prediction without past form to consider, but carry on.

Im well aware of what the side did. I’m talking about individuals whose performances clearly dropped in September after fantastic home and away seasons. If they also rose like Walsh did instead of folding under pressure, it may have been a very different season.

It will. My point was that right now, Collingwood’s most important players are proven finals players who we know will step up. Majority of Carlton’s best player (not all, Walsh an obvious exception for example) have so far been underwhelming in finals. So quite rightfully there are more...

Of course it does. Did I say otherwise? I said it’s a strange priority to have.

Are you saying past performances are irrelevant to predicting the future? Quite odd to say the least.

No idea who that is, no idea why I should care either. What’s your point?

I mean, if your biggest concern is impressing opposition fans, then I guess you’re right. Strange priorities to have though.

I’m sorry…do you think the likes of Curnow played well last September?Some Carlton players stepped up. Many of their “better” players did not. Quite the opposite.

Well refuted. If you’re satisfied with the output of someone like Curnow in his finals so far, fair play to you.

Buckley also won a norm smith. I would argue that as a player, he proved he could stand up in big occasions. Right now there are question marks over a lot of Carlton players being able to do it based on last year. The current top Pies players have proven they will do it. There’s every chance...

Biggest test will come in September. Bar Walsh, the Blues “best” players like Curnow showed they can’t handle the pressure of September. Collingwood’s most important players have already showed they will step up to another level in September. All well and good to be heroes now, but shit their...

Gulden is fantastic. Definitely a conversation more interesting and fair than Walsh vs Diacos.

Also hill I guess. Are you claiming pendles hasnt won a norm?

Not sure I made that claim mate

I guess if you’re ignoring being best on ground in a grand final

Oh I went back some pages. I saw you claiming Cripps was a level above Daicos 😎

That would be zero. What’s your point?

I would say no, definitely not. We have some that beat him there. He probably stands up better than Cripps though.

Is your point that Johanissen stands up under pressure better than Cripps?

Definitely. I think you starting supporting a different sport in protest. That'll show them.

Every team has injuries. Collingwood tonight includes. Suck it up.

Walsh with fewer contested possessions and tackles than Daicos tonight. Just bizarre.

Someone must've told Curnow it was September.
