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.

It is pity.

The poor 30 year old Carlton fan that has never seen their team have a top4 finish, and has to suffer through stories of how they used to be a power by parents / older relatives.

Poor buggers.

So you now go back through history when it suits

8>3 and plenty of us here that remember those GFs

Those poor Pie supporters

All you have is the past.

It clear the fear lives within you.

I do believe the question was asked by a pies poster who incidentally brought up the history of Collingwood. Rinse and repeat my friend, rinse and repeat

Yes as said, Carlton fans not accepting they are minnows now makes the thread go round.

Pies fans...we always finish higher, this year, next year will be no different.

Carlton fans, have you forgotten about that thing that happened 50 years ago.

Rinse and repeat.

Living in the now, and very much enjoying the current Fly premiership era.

Fear of what?

Legit no idea what you are babbling about.

I don't think you will ever shut the phuc up even if Carlton do finish above Collingwood this year so what's your point exactly ?

 

[Carringbush2010]

Ok , the facts are Carlton are 5 wins over Collingwood in grand finals. There is not 1 Collingwood supporter alive that can say they've seen Collingwood beat Carlton in a GF. Narrative Schmarrative

Who cares? We're king of the comp over the comp's history. Fact.

Like it or lump it wormy.

 

[Carringbush2010]

On a side note, I'm pretty sure we're all enjoying the tigs copping a walloping.

Pies premiers, blues fans in denial, tigs gettin smashed, how good is life?!

 

[Carringbush2010]

Make it a hunge doggies!

Pies sitting pretty in 10th. How good is life !

Indeed, I would be shocked.

Iso what's your point exactly

We are in the 21st century, professional AFL era now. Pies are reigning premiers and beat Carlton in our last match-up.

Try and go a few posts without drifting back to 20th century ancient VFL era s**t. You guys cant help yourself.

Dont blame you, I would probably prefer to focus on former glories if I followed an AFL minnow too.

That is what makes the thread go round, rinse and repeat.

Yep and we just beat you, how good is life?!

Well Dopple, if anyone wants to go back to wherever or to now or anywhere in between, we're the kings - can't be disputed.

Enjoy the past and enjoy the now I say.

We knocked off Collingwood last year and you all claim dead rubber. Always something with you clowns

Very much enjoying the Fly era.

Poor Carlton buggers stuck in the past, Fitzroy and Melbourne used to be VFL powerhouses too.

I dispute that. 1976 - 1982
A golden era for the pies.

 

[Robertio]

just like Carlton!

Have you checked the Pies record before the turn of the century, obviously not.

 

[Robertio]

Narrative shmarrative.

Those are the facts, deal with em.

The facts are Pies have more teams above them on the ladder than below them in season 2024.

 

[beerbandit]

114yrs since they beat us in a GF


#1910

10,452 days and counting.

“They know we’re coming!”

 

[Fadge]

Average of a Grand Final appearance every 3 years.

That's a lot if games of football won, and not many spoons and bottom 4 finishes.

Carlton have 'won' more than twice as many spoons since the turn of the century than Collingwood have in their history.

I might look into how many bottom 4 finishes Collingwood have had in their history... than would be an interesting analysis...

 

[Arr0w]

So Carlton are more efficient when converting GFs

43 to 29 appearances, same number of flags

See you deviated from my timeline again, don't you like it when someone picks a timeline that suits them?

Correct. Why waste time winning when we know we can rocket into the GF and scoop it up

Pies just spray and pray.

 

[JustaBattler]

The bombres are coming !

 

[manicpie]

Yet, we are the reigning Premiers. We must be spraying and praying to the right god.

Analysis completed.

Excluding war time, Collingwood have had 12 x Bottom 4 finishes in their history. That includes eras when there were only 8, 10 and 12 teams in the competition.

Since the turn of the century, when there have been minimum 16 teams in the competition, Carlton have had 9 x bottom 4 finishes.

Wowee.
