Prediction Who will be better in 2025? Carlton or Hawthorn

Threadbans for WalshistheGOAT and Dewyyyy would go a long way to making this thread worth reading.

I think some Hawthorn fans are getting a little bit carried away. The Hawks have a good young team coming together, but the element of surprise is gone this year.

I think they might go backwards a bit this year, but time will tell as to if i'm right i guess! They were a team that did overachieve last year imo.

Sorry, forgot us Carlton supporters are just meant to let ridiculous comments like only a handful of Carlton players would get a game at Hawthorn, Carltons depth is terrible etc etc slide without rebuttal.

True, but offset by hawks strengthening with mature options and carlton trading some away

No, not Carlton supporters, just you. You clearly know **** all about Hawthorn players, yet you persist with pretending otherwise. You have stunk up this thread more than anyone.

Disagree. Hawks posters as a whole have made most of the most ridiculous claims in here. I've simply disagreed with them using stats to back my opinion up, as have many other Carlton fans.

Now, this is just Chris Scott level self-awareness!

If you aren't going to discuss something football related and just have pot shots at posters I suggest we move on.

On posters

Good = eg good debate probably too close to call but let’s chat anyway it’s off season
Bad = eg xxx clearly better than yyy who are over achieving right now

Thinking back to 2022 2023 if you looke at who these teams beat and who beat them, they were equally inept.

The ‘good carlton’ may only be 12-18 months advanced on the ‘good hawthorn’

Tbh getting 'revenge' on Hawthorn would be about 6th down on my list of matches to look forward to next year. Other than being an obnoxiously arrogant team atm they haven't really done anything I'd consider worthy of getting revenge for.

A random shellacking in the middle of an end of year capitulation by the Blues? Was more infuriated watching the game vs the Roos around the same time and we ended up winning that lol.

Yep. I can understand that you don’t have much interest in Hawthorn. You’d probably have bigger rivals in the comp

Let's just put one thing to bed in this thread. The Hawks didn't play above their capabilities. Physically impossible to do that. As far as this year is concerned if they play to the same level they will fall down the ladder. Hawthorn need to improve and I think they will given our trade period and natural improvement in our group. Carlton rely heavily on their stars. They do have genuine stars let's see if they can carry them through the season. They are right in it for more finals given their stars

Good to see his MO is consistent across multiple threads.
