Carlton 2024 - Are they being overestimated?

[ZabsBlues]

For me, Pies and Lions are the premiership favourites. Carlton below them with a host of teams including GWS and Port.

 

[YeoShuey]

So you were happy with that first half?

Not happy, but to play consistently over 4 quarters is near impossible.

I don’t think I have seen a team who have not had a “bad quarter” in recent memory.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Sure, but do you normally sway from a yearly prediction after 60 minutes

What makes you I changed my view point ?

I had serious question marks on carlton, tipped them to be 6th , last nights game reinforced that view.

You had Lions at 2, surely it reinforced both should finish in the 8, no?

I never said carlton wouldn’t make the 8.

having a bad qtr is one thing but having massive runs of goals against you is bad sign.

 

[Fadge]

Sydney the only team who have impressed me from the two games played so far.

According to you, you mean

You do realise the Lions went on a huge run of goals against the Pies at home last year

Did it effect the Pies?

Wtf

You just beat Bris on their turf while undermanned and from 8 goals back, how can you still say you're below them?

Just means better odds for us finishing 13th

Took an 8 goal comeback to get this scared little mouse to come out of his hole where he'd been for 6 months

A singular run on in the first quarter and a half of the season is hardly a trend to be concerned about... Or would you disagree?

Must have been scared of something unless you've been in a coma since GF Day

Yeah it’s called the end of one FB season & the start of another .

In between I had a life.

You should try it brother.

Thanks - that was important for us all to know.

Interesting how that life began exactly on the final siren of the GF, then ended unexpectedly exactly on the final siren last night, good organisational skills

I think 9 goals to 2 in a qtr and half is worth being concerned about, especially for Carlton who should have had something to prove

That’s literally called the off season

Off as in season over… wait, wait, live, live.

Then on - as in a new season starts.

It’s the AFL that does the organising.

"Should have had something to prove".

Why did the first quarter and a half mean more to Carlton than it did to Brisbane, or any other club for that matter?

The level of expectation on Carlton does match what they’ve achieved to date

Nah.

Carlton had no more to prove last night, than any other club. It's a narrative you're simply making up to push whatever it is you're trying to.

At this point I’d suggest it’s time to stop trying to argue with an idiot - you know the saying…the longer you try, they’ll just smash you with experience

Lol sure , if you say so man

 

[Jeremias]

I'm just stating the obvious, man. I'm sorry you disagree, you have every right to regardless of how wrong you clearly are.

So you don’t think there were high expectations on carlton?
