Banter FOOTY Banter! - Who will be better in 2025? Carlton or Collingwood Part 6

[JustaBattler]

I know they're a long way behind the teams that will genuinely contend for the premiership, and that's all that matters.

And more likely to stay in Mexico in 2025 than finish the right side of the border, despite the fact their list is at their absolute peak and they have the easiest draw in the comp.

Her si a translation of the above for anyone new to the thread...

blah b;ah spittle blah froth spittel blah noise blah baxcus spreadsheet odds spittel balh froth bubble blah

 

[beerbandit]

Oh I forgot you don't watch much Carlton. Adam Cerra is the midfielder with dark short hair that wears number 5, and kicks it straight to the opposition most times.

Fixed that for you

 

[Robertio]

He will, but I wouldn't have expected him to have contributed much more in 2025 than Kennedy did in 2024, and by the the the time hes the star we all expect him.to be, Cripps will be done, so they are just maintaining a middle of the road list by trading up to bring him in.

Complete guesswork here.

Bottom 4 remember.

Good work. Ties into your overall strategy

No speculation. So we can't discuss the thread title until the season is over. At which point, Pies being much better is irrelevant as it's in the past.

Like i said guesswork like a lot of your posts about Carlton

 

[carlton_99]

Fixed that for you

Has a 65.1% kicking efficiency which ranks above average for his position per AFL stats. Just for reference Nick Daicos one of the better midfielders in the AFL goes at 57.0% by foot.

Who cares about the salary cap?

Good work posting from your grave Mr. Elliot.

It's a bit rich coming from Pies supporters

Sorry to put a serious question into a fun banter thread. But how it it that no one in his junior or early senior career did anything to fix Sam Walsh's kicking action?

How can a junior superstar have a ball drop like that? I remember being a kid kicking a balloon around the house. I'd drop the ball two hands from waist height. Like Walsh does.

Well, it's better than James Manson and he was the worst in the history of the game

So Sam Walsh is a better kick than James Manson.
That is like saying "I drive a rust bucket but it is better than your shitbox".

Must make him proud, no wonder he went number one (with so much experience in number one picks, Carlton just can never get it right)

Is he left handed? Swanny used to do that as he kicked right foot but was guiding it with his left hand more than his right.

Earl Spalding?

Earl Spalding?

Um, no

You people need to get off the uncle dougs . It's Mother's day - try and stay clean for once in your lifetime

 

[sr36]

Um, no

I loved big Earl. But whilst his kicking technique looked better than Manson's, might have been a worse kick.

 

[Worm4]

Complete guesswork here.

I think this is how fadge does his punting. Blind fold on, aim darts at the board, load up.

Kicking efficiency

A stat that was developed by Ted Hopkins back in the 90s, has no relevance in today's game at all.

Cerra has a negative kick retention and threat rating and is barely in top100 for score involvements, another low impact Carlton mid.

 

[sr36]

He's got a simple strategy. Bet against Carlton. It's made him a fortune over the last 3 decades. It just works as you mugs always over-rate your team and make your opponent a great value bet. But occasionally he loses an individual bet. More than worth it in the long run.

Wormy with the inane gifs that an 8 year old would use.

8 year olds aren't using gifs. Gifs are the domain of boomers.

forgot to tie his shoelaces this morning, so he is considered clumsy. What the feck has the AFL turned you people into ? Fmd

Comparing a number 1 draft pick to a big dopey ruckman…. I see.

Wormy used to do this as a kid, except he just used the cat instead of a balloon.

 

[Worm4]

Yeah, Walsh is so shit. Get a life

No, it's comparing kicking styles. Catch up

Haha, Manson was a horrible kick.
