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

[carlton_99]

Yeah sure

But if you want to be in "flag contention", you can't regularly return 3 wins from 7 games, regardless of opposition

Didn't Collingwood get 3 wins from their first 7 games? Surely we aren't ruling them out of premiership contention...

If you do it "regularly" you simply won't win enough games to qualify for finals so it's a moot point.

Bookies?

Bookies are pretty sound. Asterisk are second on the ladder in real life and most bookies have them finishing 7th or 8th. Don’t believe me? Take a look.

8-2-1 at this stage of the year and not even the bookies are confident of their finals spot.

Fadge didn't but. He knows best. Had us placed 3rd last.
( I've never seen Carlton as flag favourite either)

Still plenty of time left. Far from convincing against a pathetic Gold Coast

Yeah, I reckon Freo were absolutely putrid on Friday night. They couldn't have played any worse if they tried. Well maybe if Ross was coach

 

[Robertio]

Carlton v. Essendon will be a very interesting match up in a couple of weeks...

So will Pies and Demons.

Pies were i suppose?

 

[Aphrodite]

First year I have seen so many Essendon supporters in this thread

7,204 days & counting!

 

[Fadge]

So will Pies and Demons.

Pfft.

Their record against us over the last handful of seasons is about as bad as Carlton's record against us.

You probably thought that about Freo as well.

 

[JustaBattler]

Freo were lucky and Suns were just unlucky

 

[Fadge]

Nope.

Freo better than both, and a tough prospect in WA.

We don't all have the luxury of playing them on a neutral ground, with 27 players.

 

[windyhill]

Of course.

No such thing as the "big 4" anymore.

Bombers a lock for being first to #17.

No no no, after you. We both know it.

 

[carlton_99]

You just get to play an "away" game against the Saints at the G'

Freo are not better than both and Blues have no trouble beating them over there, you come up with more excuses than a school kid.

 

[carlton_99]

Freo are not better than both

Ladder no longer relevant this week

That's what happens where you're a Powerhouse and the alternative sees 25,000 pundits not able to go to the game.

Hasn't updated the games from this week yet so the gap will widen a bit but considering you play home games at the G' whilst we play ours at Marvel not seeing much of a difference.

Pies have played 6 games at the G' (including Anzac day) in their first 10 - Carlton just 4.

Still favours the Pies, fancy playing an away game at your home ground and worse still a grand final at your home ground. The fixture should be fair for all teams.

Awesome.

Another graph we're you're beneath Collingwood, though celebrating that you're within striking distance...

Not at all. I actually would expect Pies to be much further ahead given their obvious advantage in home venue. Especially if you think Pies are a powerhouse and the Blues aren't...
