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

[BennyGFunk]

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

None of those games are gimmes either, even the hawks

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.

I find the usage of the word flukey to be a bit ironic, considering that flag win was bit of a fluke in itself!

This thread has been dead for a few weeks, did the Pies win?

It's now 2024 mate, keep up.

Well I tell you what Scritchyscroony I reckon that KFC bucket is looking pretty good right now. Not even sure Hollands needs to play a game to take the chocolates the way Schultzy is performing!

Yeah he's been underwhelming so far for sure.
Hopefully he just needs more settling in time. If he's still like this come round 13 then we've officially been sold a lemon and you will get your KFC.

Yeah March 2024, Bagger fans fav month of the year.

Keep up mate, we made it to the second last week of September last year.

Nah but it doesn't count because winning 11 of your last 12 games to make it there is considered a "fluke" apparently

Didnt see the Baggers on the last weekend?

But glad to know some Bagger fans got to enjoy "participating" in finals.

 

[Arr0w]

Pretty sure this is 2024

Pies 1 & 3
Blues 2 & zip

That's what we're here for.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Was that the Pies full strength squad last night? Outside of McSpud of course who will likely miss the season?

 

[Fadge]

Yeah March 2024, Bagger fans fav month of the year.

Particularly after they've played two bottom 4 teams. Three bottom 4 teams after today.

 

[Fadge]

Keep up mate, we made it to the second last week of September last year.

So a week shorter than Collingwood?

 

[Fadge]

That's what we're here for.

Well, not really.

2023 was the exception to the rule...

 

[Robertio]

So a week shorter than Collingwood?

Yeah and a lot longer than March.

Missing your Owen jokes - what have you got for us this week?

The ladder.

Saving them for the Nicki Daicgul thread next week when Finn Maginness pulls his pants down

The ladder.

Good point.

Yep, the ladder is indeed a joke at this time of the year, given some teams have played opponents who will likely finish in the top 4, whilst some other teams have only played (and scraped in against) bottom 4 teams.

Not naming any teams specifically....

So the ladder is a joke but then you use the ladder to minimise Carlton's wins...?

Either the ladder at this point accurately reflects the quality of the team or it doesn't and is meaningless. You can't have it both ways

16th right?

 

[doppleganger]

That's what we're here for.

Yeah most regular fans really enjoy their team making finals.

A few crusty Bagger fans seem to have a problem with teams "participating" in finals.

Good to know you are a sane one, and actually enjoyed 2023 despite it ending with a loss.

Nah, I'm using the opposition to minimise Carlton's wins.

North and Richmond will definitely be bottom 4 teams, and based on what Brisbane have produced so far this year, they'll be doing well to avoid bottom 4.
