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

[Worm4]

He would make a perfect politician.

Absolutely, they all seem to go away when the shit hits the fan. Fadge is no different. Won't even discuss his own sides poor form against Bulldogs, instead focusing on Carlton not doing anything this millennium

We were still in the game with 5 minutes to go, not sure that says poor form. 11 players missing from the GF side also says we were pretty good. A draw against freo in freo also says our form is pretty good. We've just lost Bobby Hill this morning also. You better beat essendon or we are going to have one hell of a good time here. There will be grapes and watermelon being hand fed to us by the packing department at Visy. Don't count your chickens, it's a long season

So Collingwood now rely on Essendon?

LOL

Not sure how you come to that conclusion. But anyway

Hey, I'm only going off Fadges interpretation of contenders etc and the Pies lost to a side in the bottom half of the ladder , which theoretically means that the side is not going too well. Injuries or not.

Let's discuss it after you play them.

Still got all your good players in Nick Daicos so no excuses about players being out.

Please remind me - what is my 'interpretation' of contenders?

I hope you're not IMAGINING again...

He's the only one left

I usually say that a contender is a a given after 12 rounds, especially Carlton and essendon.

Bulldogs aren't a contender are they ?

Except I asked a Carlton supporting poster (who took exception to my reluctance to consider his team a contender) who the 2023 contenders were...

He listed five teams, and excluded the team that was second on the ladder and second favourite for the premiership as at round 16 2023.

 

[manicpie]

Bulldogs aren't a contender are they ?

They sure are and a contender with a bullet. Missing 4 quality players, two or which return this week. It's round 13 bro.

Was this before or after you predicted us to miss finals?

I can't see Carlton missing finals this year. The whole flag race is wide open this year. Just waiting for Sydney to go through their slump, and they will. I haven't included essendon because it's a given that they will slide

Fadge has Carlton finishing 16th. Assuming North finish 18th, not sure out of West Coast and Richmond he has finishing above us. Maybe he can enlighten us ?

I think Fadge might have been at the mushroom festival in Nimbin when he wrote that. I don't think he actually believes it

Yep, they're imagining again.

They were ranked as the 16th best side based on performances in Rounds 0 and 1.

I predicted them to finish 13th, with Richmond's 3 in game injuries and Dissentgate against Fremantle being the difference between where they sit now and my prediction.

Nonetheless, plenty of time between now and the end of the season for them to revert to the mean.

It's a long season mate. Still plenty of sides who haven't reached their peak. After the bye, it should start to take a bit of shape

Indeed.

Probably a great time right now to load up on Carlton to miss the Top 8.

True, they're only a Cripps injury from disaster. God forbid if they lose Curnow
