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…

I can’t remember the last time Carlton beat Collingwood in a game that wasn't a dead rubber. It was so long ago.

 

[doppleganger]

Carlton's opponents now 0-6

And they battled in both games.

Couldnt have been gifted a softer start the Baggers.

But apparently Brisbane played much better against Carlton than they did against Collingwood (and Freo)....

Your club literally won a premiership off close wins and it was considered the best thing since sliced bread with Macrae credited for apparently inventing scenario training. But now it's "battling"...

Combined 6 point win against winless sides… good lord. This team is trying to win a premiership?

12 months ago the Pies beat the reigning premiers by 22 and a top 4 side by 71!

I've really miss that 80s peroxide mullet bus driver

He drove the school bus right?

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

Hey Fladgelator - you’re 1 & 3.

Why do you laugh at posts like that? If you have a counter argument make it - you just come off looking like a petulant child

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

We could have played West Coast and Hawthorn which I would consider a softer couple of games to start with

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.

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.
