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…

Are you as a Collingwood fan really using close wins as a reason a team can't win a premiership? The irony is incredible

I think he may have forgotten how many wins the Pies have had by under a goal over the past couple of years. Good lord

BRISBANE 7.2 9.5 10.11 12.13 (85)
CARLTON 2.0 4.4 11.6 13.8 (86)

And your point would be?

We beat strong teams

Carlton fell over the line against two 0-3 teams.

And have another 0-2 battler tomorrow.

Anything but 3-0 would have been alarm bells with that kind of start.

In 2023 you won 6 matches by 14pts or less against teams that didn't make the 8...

• Richmond by 14
• Essendon by 13
• Adelaide by 1
• Adelaide by 2
• Western Bulldogs by 12
• Geelong by 8

Because it was a ridiculous comment about a team that has looked ordinary all year.

We've seen Collingwood are currently a fair way off the pace of the top couple of teams (GWS and Sydney), and we made them look very average tonight.

Did you watch the first quarter of the Brisbane/Carlton game?

If you watched that and thought that was ordinary football then we have very different definitions of that term.

Brisbane's first quarter against us was up there with the best quarter of footy I have ever seen.

I rated North's first quarter against Freo last week pretty highly too.

Doesn't mean North are a decent footy team though....

Most during the middle of the year when the Magpies had set up camp at the top of the ladder with a phat percentage. The Blues are throwing everything out there and just falling over the line

Brisbane made themselves look very average.

They didn’t need Collingwoods help.

If you aren't rating our win against the Lions, why is your win any better

14 points or less...LOL

Bagger fans starting to realise their 2024 form is mediocre.

Brisbane are cooked and Richmond are a bottom 4 lock.

I was literally talking about their first quarter only. They got up by 8 goals off of an incredible first quarter. If you agree that it was a great quarter what issue do you have with my post...?

Throwing everything out there? In what way have we done that?

Weren’t we 46pts down at one stage

So same as the Pies then?

Yep, they are average at the moment.

We both got them at the right time.

So suggest you reserve your judgement about Carlton until they start playing some decent teams.

1 & 3

You were 46 points down to that rudderless bunch?

You were spanked in the other 3 games, Saints even

Most teams in the comp could have kicked 8 goals against Carlton the way they turned up in that first quarter.

We've seen Brisbane ain't travelling that well.

Great that you've got two wins on the board, but time you accepted your opposition haven't exactly been top shelf....

We didn't even play that poorly in the first quarter - we had important players out for sure but they were just simply too good early.

 

[YeoShuey]

Imagine saying that and then bragging when you beat the same opposition.

 

[Arr0w]

Love the Pies being up and about, to a side that isn't much chop, yet spanked by 3 other clubs

 

[Fadge]

OK. Brisbane have played amazingly for 2.5 quarters out of 12 so far this year.

What is your point?

 

[carlton_99]

And there's the laugh reaction again... brilliant!

We'll get an idea of Carlton between rounds 6-10 when they play GWS, Geel, Coll, Melb and Sydney

Pies however are BACK, premiership defence belatedly on track
