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

[Scritchyscroony]

Watch the video. It was really poor from Walsh, just own it. Cerra never took clean possession, and Walsh let Naicos run goal side into open space and onto a ball that came off hands in a contest.

It’s no big deal. It was really bad from Walsh given the state of the game, his opponent and the way the play unfolded.

But why there’s some weird insistence Cerra took clean possession and Walsh was moving into space to receive possession is just baffling. The actual video shows nothing of the sort.

I am no Naicos or Collingwood apologist, but that was brilliant from him and poor from Walsh. Just own it … I’m sure Walsh does and I’m sure it wouldn’t happen again.

This is by far the best and most intelligent post this thread has ever seen from a Tigers poster.
Falcon take note!

He stands next to Cripps every day...proven great of the game...twice!
Can't say that for any Collingwood players...lol

Cripps is a champion. No argument from me on that. Shit stirring is fun but respect where it’s warranted. Little secret I also rate a fit Walsh as a top player. Not Nick Daicos level but very good.

 

[jezzajay]

Fun fact....

Collingwood have contended for the premiership on 9 separate occasions since Carlton last did in 1999.

2002
2003
2007
2010
2011
2018
2019
2022
2023

With two other top 4 finishes - 2009 and 2012.

And to think it took you that long and that many more attempts to finally catch up to 16...it's only going to take us to win one to be ahead again. Giddyup...

Walsh nearly jagged one himself a few years back.

Just show me a pic of Cripps holding a premiership cup to confirm this for me mate. Humour me.

It just doesn’t suit him.

thanks...job done

why Cripps?

Why not? He’s your generational player. Still minus one. Pendles has a couple, Nick 3 seasons in already has one. Even unco Cox has contributed to one for us (and almost another but unfortunately we fell short). They’re hard to get.

Deflections galore...

Ironic

I'm talking about Brownlows!
Plenty of Carlton players have premierships as does Collingwood! No disputing that.
2 Brownlows on the other hand...

 

[South of the Yarra]

Adrian Whitehead creeps closer to 50. Soon Carlton will have no Premiership players alive under 50. That is just insane. Think of that. Their youngest living Premiership player will be 50.

Brownlows pfffttt.

It’s a team sport mate. I’ve never rated them. Even when Swanny won his and the Cats rolled us in the 2011 GF it was no consolation.

Pfffttt… You’d rate it if it suited your narrative.

I don't think anyone cares apart from you lot . We have living triple premiership players that most teams don't have and especially Collingwood. I'm sure you're not too bothered by that either

'Only going to take us to win one...'

Suggest we're all pretty safe on that front, given your list isn't even good enough to contend for, let alone win, a premiership.

Get with 2024....

The Fadgelows are where it's at!

Closer than the Pies list and we have time, the clock is ticking at Pieland.

My narrative is Carlton suck and have sucked for a very long time.

Cripps and Judds Brownlow wins don’t alter my narrative one iota.

Yep, I'm sure you honestly believe that and we heard it all about Collingwood's list heading into the 2022 season.

And guess what happened?

We always beat you in grand finals and we always beat you in anniversary matches! Form is temporary but class is permanent!

Our depth of history and tradition and our large and passionate army of fans, means that our return to the top of the footy world is a mere formality and eventuality.

I see no reason why it won't happen in 2025.

If Carlton ever come to the realisation they need to build an AFL Football list, and not a basketball list where it's all about your best handful of players, they might get close to contending for a premiership.

'Form is temporary'?

Carlton's 'form' has been shite for a quarter of a century!

Yep, it's December.
