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…

Mod Note: This is a thread for BANTER and giving and taking a bit of the mickey. Enter at your own risk!
However this does NOT mean name calling, personal abuse, injury trolling, swearing or gifs/memes with swear words in them. Keep it clean and above the belt.
Thank you.

To answer the thread.

Carlton who are half a game and % ahead despite a mountain on injuries!

Oh the old injury excuse … never hear that before from the Bluebaggers.

Never mind, I. Am certain on the strength of the loss the VICar of Whately will restore the Blues to their number one one ranking.

Carlton’s list is in dire straights

That was pathetic

How does one loss mean that our whole list is in dire straights?

For some silly reason Carlton mods continue to encourage the assassination of "Ol' Fudgey".

It's rubbish.

 

[Mr Meow]

We didn't deserve to win but man those goals by Hill and Daicos just don't happen against any other team. The goals your lot seem to kick against us each year are just ridiculous

Are you joking? They are highly skilled players who often display remarkable skill.

Ask Brisbane supporters.

You got smashed by our VFL side

 

[My Tilly]

He seems to leave it all out there for us

You think you are a team worthy of a special performance from a premiership winner?
A lot of good teams will enjoy playing Carlton.

It's GWS, Sydney, Collingwood, Geelong, Melbourne who are the threat.

 

[doppleganger]

I thought this was Carlton’s greatest team in 30 years?

Not 30, but for 25 years it is!!

Mate credit to them they keep doing it to us. Not sure why you are getting so defensive. Johnson and McReery from memory also kicked similar goals against us in the 2022 game and they won by under a kick.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

In one bit of good news, the Carlton defence gave up fewer points than useful.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Collingwood by a goal over a Blues outfit missing 21 of their best 23 isn't anything to brag about imo.

You haven’t read the thread, they’re missing 34 of their best 23

. I thought Darce couldn’t defend and King Curnow would kick a bag

 

[Lockyer24]

Who will be better in 2024, Fremantle or Carlton

Respect

Three outs is your VFL side? I long for the day we have three outs.

It's not so much getting defensive, I just thought it was odd as it implied that Hill and Daicos are usually not skilled. If Frampton bombed a 60 metre goal you might have a point.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

You think you are a team worthy of a special performance from a premiership winner?
A lot of good teams will enjoy playing Carlton.

It's GWS, Sydney, Collingwood, Geelong, Melbourne who are the threat.

We beat GWS and will be every chance to knock off one or two of Sydney and Melbourne.

That's not what I implied at all - I just find it frustrating how the close games against us are always decided by low percentage shots at goal like that.

Hello Tarks.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Look forward to the rematch, plenty to take from this one for both sides.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Hello Tarks.

Evening Horry. Having fun?

 

[Mr Meow]

That's not what I implied at all - I just find it frustrating how the close games against us are always decided by low percentage shots at goal like that.

I dunno, I have seen Collingwood swarm and kick plenty of goals like that - including clutch ones - over the past couple of years. If you think they save it for Carlton games exclusively, you just aren't watching enough Collingwood.

Charlie Curnow got absolutely slaughtered by Darcy Moore. I thought Darce couldn’t defend and King Curnow would kick a bag

Someone must've told Curnow it was September.

 

[South of the Yarra]

Watch Walsh at the contest when Daicos scores the goal. Absolute soft. Gave up.

The big question is, when will he kick a goal? No impact on games.

 

[adammania9]

Much like you were every chance to knock off Collingwood. Until you didn’t. Good teams won’t lose to Carlton this year unless they’re missing key players like the Giants were
