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…

Now the Pies have won this weekend, what are you still doing online?

The footy world doesn't revolve around the Pies unfortunately

Collingwood brought the pressure tonight & Brissy wilted.

But that’s the only card Collingwood has - waiting for the other team to wilt.

The problem for you is, none of GWS, Sydney or the mighty St.Kilda wilted.

Therefore… 1 & 3.

The Pies just showed that beating Bris at the Gabba in 2024 isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

I’m sorry this happened to you.

It’s all good - we haven’t lost a game yet.

Maybe look inward.

Just be happy for the Pies, this isn’t about you

I think fortunately would be a better descriptor

I know what Elliott did to you in 2022 is hard to just forgive and forget, but surely you can acknowledge his game tonight.

Haha of course - actually thought they looked a bit better, tried harder.

Tackling & pressure won the game for you.

& Brisbane absolutely butchered it going inside 50.

4 goals, good for him.

Completely irrelevant to my post though.

There’s a lot of Carlton fans that just had their Easter long weekends ruined

It’s not my Easter so meh !

 

[BennyGFunk]

A bit concerned, we’ve gone from being 20 points better than Carlton to 19 over the off-season.

Sorry did you forget something?

Your coach doesn't acknowledge opposition, why the hell should we ?

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Carlton fans this morning

 

[76woodenspooners]

I gotta admit, I was a little dubious about Collingwood’s ability to defeat Brisbane at their Gabba fortress …

… but all you Carlton folk were so encouraging, pointing out that if Carlton could do it then anyone could.

You were right and I was wrong. Kudos

 

[Arr0w]

Yep it's us that are obsessed with you winning...

Posted in the first qtr of OR? Bloody hilarious

Meh as long as we beat the Roos then all is good.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Ladder at end of the season:
16. Carlton
17. Brisbane
18. Richmond

???????

Please be realistic- no wce or hawthorn?

Edit for clarity meaning bottom 3 or 4

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Carlton fans are at the point where they’d rather Collingwood lose than Carlton win.

Elliot in 22 and the 23 Premiership really did a number on them mentally.

We still haven't lost a grand final to Collingwood since 1910 though!

A few of our players took bribes for that game, so we actually allowed you to win it!

 

[Worm4]

Carlton's opponents now 0-6

And they battled in both games.

Couldnt have been gifted a softer start the Baggers.

Just out of curiosity, where does leave GWS in the scheme of things then , before last nights game their opponents were 0 from 7 ?

Carlton players taking bribes, that doesn’t sound right.

Imagine if you did that in modern times, you’d be sent into the football abyss for 25 years as punishment.

After today their fixture heats right up

Not really, we have a bye in round 8

The last 25 years has just been a patient build to peak at a flukey Preliminary Final appearance, in a year that saw Collingwood win the flag.

 

[NetworkNerd]

I guess neither side has beaten anybody good... Carlton beating North won't prove much.

Carlton can beat a 'good' side next week... Pies have to wait till round 6 to beat a side that isn't an Owen.

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

Collingwood’s next three are Hawthorn, Port (MCG) and then Essendon. It’s not inconceivable that they’ll be 4-3 just after the bye.

Whoever goes too early in this thread could easily have a fair amount of egg on their face

Collingwood still have an additional bye worth 0 pts to go.. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if a plucky hawthorn, confident as they beat the pies last year, give them a mighty shake again next week at gather round…
