Banter Who will be better in 2024? Carlton or Collingwood?

[PieLebo87]

Mainly here so we can enjoy the LOLs afterwards at the end of 2023, but also an interesting discussion point.

I’m in genuine two minds and can’t call it, but who do you see finishing higher in 2023?

Who is positioned better from a list/team perspective?

Let the games begin…

Thank you.

North in 2022... 2 wins, 55%

Unfortunately history isn't on your side Fudgey on this one. I do know for a fact though that your mob are the worst grand final chokers in AFL history

Great find!

However, 5 spoons is still greater than 2 (the equal most of any other team since the turn of the century).

Isn't it great that we're debating whether Carlton are the worst wooden spooners in recent times, and the comeback from a Carlton supporter is 'Well Collingwood are the worst Grand Final chokers in history, so there!'

When Carlton haven't got near playing in a Grand Final for a quarter of a century....

In the world according to Carlton supporters, being so bad that you don't get near a Grand Final for more than two decades (and counting), is far better than getting there and losing them!

Wowee.

 

[Robertio]

3 wins is better than 2 though.

Carlton in a canter.

After 5 or 6 seasons where everything went your way you are resorting to wooden spoons, show a bit of grace FFS or are we dealing with a 12 year old.

That's classic Fadge deflection

But, bring up the period of the last 6 odd decades, 8 to 3 flags and that really gets the salt levels rising

You might want to say the same to the Irish Bluebagger, who started this whole interaction?

Also love it.... Pies were 'lucky' for 5 or 6 seasons!

Back to 2024

Pies Owen 3, Blues 2 and zip

Enjoying the current status

The old combination of the brackets, then followed up with a BT cameo at the end.
Never change Fadge

I’ve been reminding the toothless pies supporters for quite some time that the blues worked them out l, have their number and will overtake them in 2024 to be in premiership calculations

The nervous angst and frustration was a shock considering their success las year, inside something was telling them ‘I’m afraid this guy may be right’

Can only point to the ladder now..

To come back against the lions at the Gabba only reinforces the credentials the blues have..

Collingwood, well they’re looking around 12th-13th best side atm

Severe fall from grace

I had them coming 6th in my ladder predictor pre season. Starting to look like that was far too generous to the old cooked Pies

 

[Worm4]

Boy oh boy

Sad reality is that they aren't even contending anymore, which means they fall out of the category of being a power house.

WoW Wee (who'd of thought )

Signing off - roving Brian

Please keep the laughs coming Collingwood! Collingwood in 2024 is very much a case, of the emperor having no clothes if ever there was one mate.

No i said you got lucky.

Worst wooden spooners.


Trying to wrap my head around that.

Does that mean the 'best performing' wooden spooners? The 'least deserving' wooden spooners?

Pretty simple.

Worst = of the poorest quality, the lowest standard, absolute bottom feeder.

Of sides who have collected a spoon, Carlton performed worse than most.

But not the poorest of the lot.

[Irish BlueBagger]

This is an old joke but a Collingwood supporter invented the toothbrush. If anyone else invented it they would have called it the teethbrush!

 

[Jamolad]

Happiest I've been with the Blues getting to the bye with only 2 wins

 

[Crankyhawk]

Jeepers.

Someone's up and about this morning...

If the Pies do happen to win the spoon this year, I have comfort in the knowledge I have all my Carlton supporting friends on Bigfooty to reach out to, to help me understand how to get through it, given you've all experienced it so frequently in recent times...

No chance for spoon. You will beat us, and on yesterday I’m not sure we beat wce without will day.

 

[doppleganger]

Even better, in 5 days Lollingwood will be 0/4!

Potentially, or in 6 days it could be Pies 1/3 and Blues 2/1 with the Blues having a soft start.

Brisbane at the Gabba a soft start, unlike the Saints ‘away’ at the MCG

Not talking about this season mate?

Could be Pies 0-4 and Blues 3-0 as well.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

I have hopes it will continue to 5-0 vs 0-6 heading into round 6. Hawks have a habit of beating the Pies

If that happens i bet Fadge and doppleganger will still be saying Carlton have been s**t for the last 2 decades.
