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

[sr36]

There's a lot of crap being talked about in here this weekend.
Are you lot bored or something ?
In breaking news, Darcy Moore forgot to tie his shoelaces this morning, so he is considered clumsy. What the feck has the AFL turned you people into ? Fmd

Bluebaggers had a good win, but must be nervous about holding their lead over the Tigers who get what the Blues had - the two easy beats.

Actually just realised the Tigers are already ahead and on top of the Blues preferred way of working out the ladder. Tiges beat Carlton who beat Geelong who beat Collingwood who beat Brisbane.

Things are getting real desperate when you have to invent a new ladder.

Win ratio of 45%, he's a LOSER (though not as bad as Cripps?

Did anyone see Walshy's hack left foot kick the other night?

Was that his first ever left foot kick?

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.

Yeah...

My speculation about Jagga not contributing any more than a circa 9 to 10 player rating, which is about as good as a first year player does, is pure guesswork.

Matt Kennedy 2023/24 - 9.13 average
Nick Daicos 2022 - 9.87
Sam Lalor 2025 - 10.2
Harley Reid - 2024/25 - 11.28 and 8.56
Levi Ashcroft 2025 - 7.29

I was surprised. The way he kicks on his right, I've always assumed he was a left footer.

No, but I did see 2 goal assists and 9 score involvements from just 21 disposals. 6 tackles for good measure.

No different to the offloads of Treloar, Grundy or Adams. Apart from the fact that Carlton don't contribute to Kennedys wage

The other difference of course being Collingwood won a flag after offloading Treloar and Grundy.

Carlton meanwhile...

The other difference of course being Carlton fans didn't claim Grundy or Treloar were spuds for years leading up to those trades.

Fadge meanwhile...

Flexing about an individual award he won during a finals series when the flag was won by....

COLLINGWOOD!

Nah Kennedys a far better player then those 3

What's he paying for the Brownlow?

 

[Fadge]

You're right.

Nobody does care about who won the Gary Ayres Medal, but everyone cares about who won the flag.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Ahh the modern day bagger, content with mediocrity… long may it continue.

Who am I to try and change your mind. Carry on like the good fanboy you are.

Where’s all this WHE hate coming from?

Blokes won a flag as a role player and played a full career regardless of where GWS talent scouts picked him in his draft year.

Going after a 18-26 role player in a list that’s performed very well and had success whilst he’s been at the club is crazy work.

Poster in here claimed Collingwoods bottom 6, in particular WHE would make Carlton a whole lot better.

I wasn’t having any of it, still not.

Still haven’t been told who he’d replace from our best 23, so feel free.

WHE has been polarising at times but he’s nearing 250 games, I rate what he brings as depth and role player personally.

I think he would definitely be in your starting 22 but would he drastically improve your team? Probably not, sounds a little cheeky by the OP but I’m here for it.

Who would he be playing ahead of and why?

250 games. Can't say I've ever really noticed him playing, in any game.
Uninspiring to say the least

Strong footy clubs make these sort of calls regardless of how the layman perceives it, far from ideal but bye golly you have to love the decisiveness!

I’m sure he’d be devastated to hear that wormy!

 

[Humblebob]

Motlop for a start.

I’m not sure who Young, Cowan, Evan’s or White are but I’m sure a steady old proven head like WHE would probably be ahead of them

I’d take him anyway!

So Will Hoskin-Elliot who plays as a utility flanker would take the spot of 3 pressure forwards despite being allergic to tackling... A KPD despite being half his size or a lockdown back pocket who also likely wouldn't be playing if the team had full availability?

I recommend watching a game not involving the Pies before commenting on other teams

 

[Fadge]

Extra, Extra, Read All About It.....

After Round 9:

Carlton in their 21st Century Prime - 4 wins
Richmond Under 19's in Year 1 of their Rebuild - 3 wins

3 ‘pressure’ forwards you blokes are hilarious, WHE plays in the best ‘pressure’ side in the comp. Proven on the big stage and has been to the top. Utility is the keyword.
I watch plenty of footy, I’m just able to take my bias goggles off when having a debate.

Again, you’re welcome to continue to applaud mediocrity good sir.
