Banter Who will be better in 2024? Carlton or Collingwood? Part 2

[DopeMaster]

Somehow managed to sneak in 19 premiership players against us , when we were hit hard

Sucks to be you then my friend.

Looking forward to our upcoming clash.

That’s fine, we’ve had half our team out for the bulk of the year and somehow remain within striking distance of the top 4. Agree that’s it’s a big game given upcoming draw. It’s only Essendon though, c’mon….

Yeah … but it’s only Collingwood…

I was surprised to see this but both Carlton and Collingwood have 9 players to have played all 15 games this year and 17 that have played 12 or more. Make of that what you will.

Blues got lucky with Boyd. Christian son knows him..

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

Make no mistake, Carlton are one of the first teams Collingwood would want to play in a big final of all teams in and around the top 8.

Here’s to hope!

Don’t follow Carlton closely enough to comment really. Though if you have had a similar run of injuries to us over the season then kudos for sitting in 2nd.

That’s ‘reigning premier Collingwood’ to you my fair peasant. Still in a flag afterglow, your heroic barbs just make me smile.

Our players need to invest in buying suits of armour for extra protection around Darcy Moore.

It's all good we understand.
Particularly when you have premiership players like Cox missing as opposed to Carlton missing Weitering for example. Would be hurting the pies a lot , lot more .

Is Weitering out ? I must of missed that, what did he do?

Missed the first month of footy.

 

[Worm4]

Collingwood are now getting their old mate Michael Christian to suspend our players for nothing - pathetic stuff

Don’t think there’s too much to argue there, it’s a week , move on.

Yep, pretty sure as soon as Boyd did it, he knew he was in trouble.

I think it's right on the line of medium/low impact

Mansell certainly contributed by coming up then ducking

I suspect we challenge it

We got best legal representation money can buy. It will be appealed, and Boyd will be free to play.

There understanding of how the game is played, and then there are collingwood supporters who simply watch it with their rose coloured glasses on.

LOL

2 games I think it was, OR and the massive clash against powerhouse Richmond.

You’ve been so cruelled with him out this year!!

I legitimately thought he was out for you to be referencing him. But first 2 games of the year, it’s a stretch.

Or there is this element to it that Carlton do very well at Tribunal

Or alternatively, looking at a player pulling up at impact point realising that player with the ball has decided to drop his head, hence reducing the impact.

With Christian the MRO clown, I’m betting you do better.

Your “reigning premiership” afterglow is somewhat diminishing, as this years’ season takes a long relieving wee on the hot coals of Collingwood’s past…

Yes Weitering missed the first 2 games, came back after the bye, Walsh the first 4 & our injury list grew quickly to 15 from there - in the middle of 11 straight games against top 8 sides.

Our current winning run of 5 straight has come once players like Saad & McGovern came back after long setbacks.

We’ve had as many injuries as Collingwood, just earlier in the season.

Now it’s The Dirty Birds chance to show their resilience - having almost lost to the all-conquering North Melbourne, bravely falling short against the almighty Gold Coast, now up against an Edgy * team breathing fire!!

Another amazing Dirty Bird chapter is about to be written!

It's not relevant as they aren't premiership players apparently

Yep - that’s the entitled mentality that gives us comments like Frampton is a better player than Charlie C.

Is there a luckier plodder in the AFL than Frampton (or the talentless Cox) - bog-ordinary players who got lucky in a team that fell over the line in a GF.

Now they are all-conquering premiership players better than Lockett & Ablett because they “won” a premiership.

It’s a sad irony that Collingwood’s biggest loss isn’t from an injury suffered in a match, it was instead from a brutal GOATcos preseason training ground tackle on one of his own. That has ****ed their entire defense. Darcy Moore polled 45 coaches votes last year and only has 4 this year because he no longer has Nathan Murphy to hide behind.

So as many games as Collingwood have won because of GOATcos, they have lost just as many of them this year because of him. As I said, it’s a sad irony.

Haha, why so insecure ?

I only stated Weitering has missed 2 games and you’ve just given me your life story!

No. None of your players are just FYI.

What a rip-snorter. Let me check, nope, afterglow still there. Still smiling. Carry on.

Yeah, not sold on your gleeful gloating about Murphy retiring due to concussion.

I get that you’re all very excited about your July runners-up status, but pretty tasteless even for a banter thread.
