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

[Wosh]

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.

Did people actually watch last night's game? A battle for the bottom of the ladder didn't really interest me... Did the Pies finally win one?

 

[Doc1763]

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

you cant touch him

 

[Aphrodite]

Correct

 

[Worm4]

For a grand final replay, it was disgusting. Skill errors all over the joint. Hipwood was collingwoods best player.

I cant decide whether Hipwood is a Dutch Cream or a Sebago

This season is going to be great for Carlton fans especially. 0-3 start for the pies means they statistically can’t win the flag so every win they get means it’ll be a better choke at the end of the season. Hopefully it’s a GF by a point after the siren.

Going off last night, he is definitely a sebago . Might even be a mashed one at that.

'Statistically', Collingwood can win their next 22 games in succession and win the flag.

Or 'statistically', they can win anything between 15 and 22 of their remaining games, and as long as they win on Grand Final day, they win the flag.

According to history they statistically can’t. Nobody has done it.

I honestly wouldn’t bother watching the rest of the season if I were you unless you want to see how good your draft picks are going to be.

That might be the attitude at Richmond, but not the way we operate at Collingwood, when we find a way to play in over 1/3 of all Grand Finals ever played...

 

[Fadge]

Hey Falcon, would Collingwood have been better off winning their first game but losing their next three, to be 1 and 3 after four games?

How would that have fared historically/statistically?

 

[Fadge]

Also Falcon, if something hasn't been done historically, how is it ever done for a first time?

Yes you are the best in the biz at gifting other clubs flags. Including the Saints one and only flag by 1 point. How sad is that

Extremely sad. Every Collingwood supporter I know cries themselves to sleep every night about it.

North. Way too easy. There is no competition for us

From memory that it was way worse last year for Collingwood, and that’s how Collingwood won their premiership.

Umpiring has been great.

18. North Melbourne

Data?

GWS spank the Pies by 32 and North by 39

Carlton a lucky 56 point win

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

2023 was 2023 this is 2024 and there's only one team unbeaten here and it ain't Collingwood. A decent win we could've beaten the Roos by even more if we wanted to as well.

There's also only one team that has played 2 x bottom 4 teams in addition to a team we have both beaten (and Collingwood beat Brisbane far more comfortably than Carlton did).

As has already been pointed out it was an undermanned Carlton team. Do try and keep up with proceedings here Fudgey.
