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…

Not our fault we have big money financial backers that will never see us fail in The hardest times which are few and far between while you guys have tins and a permanent knee board under the desk of the AFL CEO to ensure you minnows dont fold and wipe your chin next time.

Just curious on your definition of a “hard time”, which you say are “few and far between” for Carlton.

What do you consider a hard time? What do you consider a successful time? Is success making top 4? Because that’s a 24 year gap currently.

Is it making grand finals, because that’s a 25 year gap.

Is it winning grand finals, because that’s 26 years.

27 times runners up

So playing and winning finals to get to a premiership don't count, got it.

Nothing like footy season. Finals are fun, but only one thing that counts

2 flags 1954 & 2016 - that makes it a 62yr gap between your 1st & 2nd flag.

Now that is what I call success!

Way too cute.

Losing 27 Grand Finals - an all time record

Being irrelevant for the last 20 years isn't much to be proud about either.

Blah blah blah

Imagine being a minnow club and winning 16 flags as opposed to being a powerhouse organisation and ONLY having the same success record.

Carlton were a VFL powerhouse, so were Fitzroy and Melbourne.

Only Melbourne have shown any relevance to AFL football in the 21st century to date.

Carlton are the General Motors of footy teams, the behemoth back in the 20th century but didnt move with the times and has struggled to compete in the 21st century.

Ok...

You post "27 grand final losses" for the 10,000th time... I post a brand new stat... but I'M the broken record?

They already lost this weekend when they discredited our win against Melbourne saying the umpires won it for us.

And anyone who uses umpires in their argument is an automatic L. A sore loser's way of thinking.

A Blues supporter would say that. 8 points gifted and counting

GF conversion rate in AFL era:

Our 'argh so close' moments over the last 20 years have amounted to nothing.

Oh, except two flags.

Two?

Even Brisbane have had three this century.


Two.

I wonder who ventured closer towards such sore loser territory?

...

Always looking for a way to cheat the system.

Owies last week. Kemp this week. 14 points down with 8 minutes to go would have made it very interesting.

Cheaters never prosper.

Jeepers.

Some Bradmanesque stats there for Collingwood when you put it like that!

The angst strong in this one it is.....

2 flags, 6 GFs, 11 prelims in 23 years in a 16-18 team comp = POWERHOUSE

Yeah pretty sure it was the first time anybody had posted a stat with Footscray / W.Bulldogs spoons.

Clearly anything spoon related is triggering.

Understandable when you consider that Carlton have claimed more spoons then fellow minnows North and Gold Coast have combined for in the 21st century.

And Carlton finishing 5th in 2023 has been the highlight of many of these Carlton supporters football supporting lives....

2 flags and 2 other useless records.

Oh you want some "silver" and "bronze" Medals too? I suppose anything of a sort would satisfy you there just to further inflate your egos.

Just goes to show Carlton does everything better than everyone else.

I actually take more joy out of you making yourself look like a fool with your yearly copy-paste death-riding Carlton predictions.

Given it's a "broken clock" approach, I suppose they will come right someday.
