Banter Who will be Better in 2025, Collingwood or Carlton? Part 4

[Arr0w]

We don't see pictures like that of Carlton players because those types of reactions are borne from the expectation of going better than they did.

Carlton avoid expectation.

We still have emotional reactions

 

[Worm4]

Everyone punches down on Carlton these days Worm. Even StKilda fans.

West Coast punch down on Carlton - nothing to see
Carlton punch down on west coast - big problem apparently
Oh boy

 

[King Tut]

So the Blues have finished arguing with Pies supporters and are taking down every other campaigner in the comp now too. Inspirational

Picking on West Coast supporters. Next they’ll start on North fans or then Suns supporters.

Much like the team they follow. Flat track bullies.

 

[Yoda_]

Have you seen the official injury stats mate, only Richmond had more but you keep taking notice of these Pie supporters mate and you'll do well in life.

my argument was that Carlton lacked depth, Carlton has the better top end talent..

Am I wrong in guessing the top 10 players at Carlton are the following;

Cripps
Walsh
Newman
Acres
Saad
Weitering
Curnow
McKay
Tom De Koning

Is that a fair list?

Any after colour footage was introduced?

Saints haven't won a flag since 1966 or something and have 15 less premierships than us, any other dumb statements for us mate.

this is the same dumb argument means Alistair Clarkson would be an inferior coach to Michael Voss because of his playing status

just dumb.. Some of the best posters on this site are from teams that dont support mine, listen and absorb and some people may learn a thing or two

 

[Yoda_]

Lol, skewed stats from Fadge who does mental gymnastics to try and prove that our 'top 15' (chosen by him) were always available.

Of our top 10 BnF from 2023 & games missed in 2024.

Weitering - Missed R0 against the eventual Premiers
Newman - played every game
Curnow - played hurt since the GWS game & missed end of year + EF vs eventual Premiers
Cerra - missed 10 games
Cripps - played every game
Acres - played every game, plenty under duress
Dochery - missed all season
Saad - missed 5 games
Walsh - missed 3 games & was a cripple for most of the year
McGovern - missed 5 games

Given the evenness of 2024 & how important every game was, how the **** does the above equate to our top end being available for the majority of the year?

We can all agree the top end was available for the majority of the year. This further supports my argument that the top end was available for the majority, it was the b and c grade talent that couldn't get the job done.

Keep it this century perhaps yeah. Saints have owned Carlton this century....

As have every team I guess.
Even Essington supporters think you're a joke!

Chief surely Essington is banned like Norf is ?

Not even a good try mate, if you came here to annoy me which you clearly have it's not me getting rattled.

Why keep it this century, does it suit your narrative better?

So, who will be better in 2025 - Carlton or Collingwood ?

I was calling out the dismissive attitude that is outdated and silly

Should've done it in another thread then mate, this thread is full of it.

Would McKay be in your top 10, or not?

Because I got crucified for daring to suggest he was borderline Top 100 players in the comp leading into the 2024 season, yet here you are listing your 'top end' of 10 players, and excluding him?

They will want to throw in Docherty and Silvagni to elevate the impact of injury in 2024.

How were the haircuts back in the olden days?

Magnificent!

Next he'll be posting a photo of Helen D'Amico, from the days before personal grooming was a thing...

I'm sure there are threads where this happens but you're barking up the wrong tree here.

fun fact, Matt Owies (not best 22, 23) played more games than Jacob Weitering (22 games)

If they retain durable and reliable players on their list like Owies and Kennedy who can churn out 23 and 24 games in a season, how will they be able to point to injuries as a 'reason' for underperforming?
