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…

If Collingwood lose to Hawthorn next week, it's further evidence that Brisbane are currently performing as a bottom 4 team.

Data sets are important.

And that's where we disagree - no matter it's all subjective

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

The ladder as I see it.

GWS
Sydney
St Kilda
Collingwood
Carlton
Brisbane
Richmond

It's a shame Carlton haven't played any condenders yet. Who are they playing this week?

 

[caloschwaby]

I’m not wishing this on you by any means, but if somehow the Blues drop that game, we gonna need more mods in here

Has Chief got the servers upgraded ahead of Round 8?

Collingwood have played 3 contenders and are owen3 against that collective

That was my point we have played contenders and you havent. Carlton would be the same with our draw.

 

[76woodenspooners]

Collingwood only have three flag wins filmed in colour.

WTF would Collingwood care if their flag wins are filmed in colour?

 

[Worm4]

That was my point we have played contenders and you havent. Carlton would be the same with our draw.

But you are only guessing what might happen.
Anyone can guess.

Oh.

The old 'you can't use past events to predict future events'.

Including formlines and displayed abilities of teams in the current season....

Wowee.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Sorry did you forget something?

Oh you know what, I think I did!

 

[Aphrodite]

Hmm if it's either us or Collingwood that win the flag this year, then this thread is going to be carnage!

The thread will probably end up in the bay just after the siren.

 

[Worm4]

Oh.

The old 'you can't use past events to predict future events'.

Including formlines and displayed abilities of teams in the current season....

Wowee.

But if you use past events and formlines as a reference, Carlton beat all of st kilda, Collingwood, and swans in rounds coming up don't they ?

 

[Aphrodite]

632 & counting

Oh you know what, I think I did!

Old news and irrelevant this is 2024.

Wowee.

No, that's allowed

1960s to now, 8 to 3. Predict the future

ancient news, just like your last flag

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

ancient news, just like your last flag

Almost one hundred and fourteen years since Collingwood last beat Carlton when it really counts. Nothing ancient about that. It's still kind of relevant in the here and now.

remember it well, do you? Who cares? Only someone who hasn't beaten ANYONE in a grand final for 10,409 days.

 

[doppleganger]

So last year's grand final runners up the Brisbane Lions weren't a strong team?

In 2023 they were a good team, it is 2024 now

In 2024 the Lions are 0-3 and easy beats.

 

[doppleganger]

Ok mate Collingwood were 0-3. So GWS's win against them wasn't good. Sydney's win against them wasn't good. But now they beat Brisbane so St Kilda's win against them was great.

Am I doing this right?

Nup, your battling...just like Brisbane in 2024.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Well that reply there tells me that you care very much indeed buddy!

 

[Robertio]

Hang on.

Are you really proposing Brisbane brought their A game to their round 0 match against Carlton, but brought their C games to their Freo and Pies clashes?

Ha ha ha, how the #### did you come up with that?
