Banter Who will be better in 2025? Carlton or Collingwood Part 5

[Scritchyscroony]

Kennedy would be Carlton's second best midfielder if he was playing this year.
Oh well.

 

[CarmenSandiego]

Hewett well ahead of both. People love underrating him, but he's one who stands up when a lot of others don't IMO.

Gets the pill but handballs backward A LOT. Shits me to tears.

No, I don't get it.

What's your point?

That Carlton too are saving their best until later in the year?

FMD.

That’s it’s a long season. The longest ever (?). You’re happy to write off players & teams due to the start of the year, but make excuses for others.

You’re using McKays sample size of 1 game to label him a spud for 2025, yet Pendles has looked over the hill and he’s just ‘peaking at the right time’.

Your double standards are pathetic.

Going by what measures? We were told he was a spud all of last year from memory

 

[YeoShuey]

It’s true. Walsh has been horrific.

Pendlebury has been way worse this season.

We were missing him for that 2022 rd23 loss and if we dared bought him up as an ‘out’…. wowee.

 

[Fadge]

Is there anyone able to tell us how geriatric Pendlebury would be getting a game ahead of Hewett this year?

First game he was a liability, second game he was a sub and the third he was decent but nothing too spectacular.

Hewett been in the bests all 3 games so far and playing far better than washed up ol Pendlenuts

Oh no.

Hewett over Pendlebury is Acres over Sidebottom v2.....

 

[peetoo]

Collingwood win would be a monty

Maybe even a drubbing

Herald Sun did a combined Pies & Blues best 23 team.

Absolute farce, had 8 Blues players in the 23.

I reckon maybe 2 Carlton players in that 23 tops.

Clearly those losers at the Herald weren't reading this thread all Summer?

 

[Mr Meow]

It’s true. Walsh has been horrific.

Pendlebury 6 score involvements per game this season.

Walsh 3.7 SIs per game.

And the old man was sub for one of those games!

81% vs 61% disposal efficiency.

Walsh has had 14 inside 50s for 0 goal assists, as a prime aged midfielder.

He's the Lygon Street Butcher.

Yeah but Pendelbury's an over the hill has been apparently?

You can always rely on Meowbagger to bring some impartial insights to the discussion.

Pendelbury and Sidebottom are guns - have rated them as the most important players for Collingwood in many posts in this thread and others- so looking forward to congratulating them on a great career and wishing them the best in post footy life - just wish they'd hurry up!

 

[Fadge]

How are the nuff nuffs claiming Hewett over Pendles.

Line them up against a wall and 18 coaches are taking 37 year old Pendlebury. Including Voss.

More important than:
Daicos?
Moore?
A fit and firing De Goey?
Cameron?

The thing with Collingwood is they all contribute.

On 2025 form????

 

[Fadge]

On 2025 form????

Pendlebury is in the team for the same reason Charlie and Walsh are in the team.

Runs on the board.

And noone has more runs on the board than Pemdlebury.

As Fadgey always likes to say... Stats don't mean anything!

Hewett might lack hurt factor with his disposal, but has been a clearance and tackling machine at least maintaining a competitive edge around stoppages. Good two way runner. Completely different and complimentary attributes to current day Pendlebury IMO. They would work pretty well together.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

So how is Harry not ahead of McStay?

But all coaches would pick McStay over harry, yeah?

Because Harry’s 2025 form has been poor.

More importantly McStay. Atleast Mihocek has some runs on the board. McStay has been a B grade plodder for the entirety of his career.

Absolute nuffery.

One minute we’re judging players on 2025 form, a few posts later it’s about ‘runs on the board’.

Imagine having a beer with this peanut.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Can we just get a clear answer re are we judging them on 2025 form or runs on the board? Either way McStay gets nowhere near a combined team

 

[YeoShuey]

More importantly McStay. Atleast Mihocek has some runs on the board. McStay has been a B grade plodder for the entirety of his career.

Dangerous argument.

Next they will be claiming Cox has runs on the board and should be included.
