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.

Don't think we have ever won at Adelaide Oval - gonna be tough

I’ve got faith in this team.

Haven’t beaten Brisbane at the Gabba in a long time until this year either.

 

[Arr0w]

Pies should spank the Hawks next week by at least 15 goals if they are any good, given they have 4 days extra break

 

[Fadge]

Yep, first game for the year. You’d expect it to take a little to ease into it.
A lot like your entire team

Fair call. I just realised he too played in a premiership last year. He squeezed on to the bench in Gold Coast's VFL side.

Must be amazing to have a premiership player in your team...

Didn’t Hawks destroy them late last season?

I’m thinking a repeat. Maginness will make Daicos look weak once again.

 

[Fadge]

well, we can figure out that 1995 to 2023 = 28 years

Also 29% probability the current drought extends to 50 years.

 

[76woodenspooners]

As has already been pointed out it was an undermanned Carlton team. Do try and keep up with proceedings here Fudgey.

We all know that you Carlton mob think Wietering and Walsh fart rainbows …

… but you’re not going to convince any neutrals that Carlton’s outs were any more significant than Brisbane’s.

Bizarre comment

Don’t know how many times I’m going to have to keep reminding you Fadge? The thread is about this year, please keep on topic

Gets salty when others go back in time (is glorious seeing 8 to 3 flags), but not only do the Pies look sluggish, Nicki is being eclipsed in the GOAT conversation

Oh my, woowee

 

[Arr0w]

Anyway, great sitting in the 8 rather than 12th or 13th

Till next week

Dunno what game you were watching, but you seriously reckon Carlton would have barely scraped across the line by a point if Keidean Coleman hadn’t gone down at half time with an ACL?

And yeah, Walsh was a significant out, but Ashcroft is no mug either.

and c’mon, the rest of your outs were B listers that Carlton fans themselves tear their hair out over when they’re amongst themselves.

You do realise none of those players, played against you right?

But News flash, we didn't lose the game

Brisbane had Doedee and Ashcroft out and lost Coleman at HT

Carlton had Walsh, Weitering, Martin, Motlop, Silvagni, Marchbank, Hollands out and then lost Docherty at HT.

In what universe is that even let alone Brisbane having more significant outs.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Schultz playing for the Dockers still?

You will find this hard to believe but a club offered him a 4 year deal at around $650k a year and handed over picks 34 and a future 1st for him. The Dockers are still pinching themselves to make sure that its not just a great dream.

 

[FornyHucker]

I really don't get how arrogant Carlton supporters are considering they're the worst club this century

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

All jokes aside - bizarre start to the year. Last years grand finalist going into the rematch 0-3, Pendles throwing punches, the Blues being undefeated and Matt Owies being worth two first rounders if we were to put him up for trade at the end of the year.

I really don't get how arrogant Collingwood supporters are considering they've got a wikipedia page dedicated to their historic amounts of grand final chokes

well, we didn't choke last year, did we?

28 years and counting

 

[Aphrodite]

well, we can figure out that 1995 to 2023 = 28 years

Exactly, it took Collingwood 28yrs to catch up to Carlton & equal us on 16 flags.

 

[Arr0w]

Pies are like the Mexicans at the moment

Juan and 3

A reverse Peter Bell? Wowee

yes, thankyou for being putrid long enough for us to catch up.

it wasn't all bad for you though, you did win 5 spoons along the way - you're way ahead of us there.
