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.

If Elijah Hollands was missing from Carlton’s best 22, then Dane Swan is missing from ours

So the second he was available he was brought into the team. Voss has also come out and said he was a top 3 performer in pre-season.

Coaches clearly see him as best 22. Like Schultz was for your lot before he played a game in 2024

I’m sure Vossy hasn’t said that about 20 other blokes.

He’s a VFL player

And yet here he is in the AFL the second he became available

Fin Macrae is a VFL player fortunate to have been selected early in the year. Doesn’t make him a good player at this level, however

Fin Macrae was the sub for a couple of games in a row. Hollands has come straight in.

Whether you think he is good or not is irrelevant to whether he is in the best 22.

I rate Macrae, he will be a good player

Just needs opportunity in the 1s

46 points down at one stage.

Funny all silent from the Collingwood brethren.

It only takes a win to get them back again but there's quite a few soft ones that didn't post in the last couple of weeks.

I don't think so mate a couple of your blokes have to learn when to hold them and when to fold them.

when you are the reigning Premiers, you get to hold them

 

[Robertio]

That was 2023 mate you're 1-3 at the moment, i wouldn't hang my hat on that just yet.

 

[adammania9]

The truth is, Pies fans don’t need to hold their own in a thread like this. Blues fans can come to their safe space and celebrate all the little nitpickings they want but Pies fans know their club still won a historic premiership 6 months ago.

For nearly three weeks, footballs greatest achievement was a win at the Gabba. I wonder what it is now.

dont care what we are. We might make the 8, we might not. But we will always be the 2023 Premiers.

Well thought out mate, yes Pies will always be 2023 premiers but you're still 1-3 now in 2024.

followed up by a 4 point umpire assisted win over the might of Richmond who had one on the bench for the 2nd half.

Carlton just showed the footballing world how to get the job done up there and Collingwood merely followed the blueprint 2 weeks later.

I think either you need glasses, or you need the lenses in your glasses to be changed if you thought that the umpires were on our side in that game!

to be honest, I dont actually know if they were or not, but a Richmond supporter at work insisted they were!

Of course they failed to mention the 2 charity goals to Lynch right in front of the goals.
