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

[Fadge]

I'll take finishing above the Pies all day any day Fudgey.

Was nothing better than watching the Pies do everything they could in the last round of the year to get Nicky his 3 Brownlow votes only to find out he was still miles behind Big Crippa on the night. Was one of the most shameless displays of individual awards chasing I've ever seen... But I guess that's what happens when your playing dead rubbers to finish the year

Yep.

A Carlton supporter would know all about playing dead rubbers to end the year (and usually from about early July), and only having individual awards to worry about.

So I'll take your informed word on it.

 

[Worm4]

Unless that 'insane' person also considers decision making and ball use, and considers Steele will at times play the important accountable role on the opposition's most dangerous mid in the same way as he started to in the final three games of 2024.

Sidey every day for me, and twice on match day.

You have already played your cards confirming that you , personally, had 19 of the 23 players of the combined side wearing stripes, with Cripps not even considered anywhere in the midfield.
And YOU used the word INSANE, when any normal neutral would consider that selection as INSANITY.
Given its 2pm in Mexico, isn't it time for your siesta ?

 

[Arr0w]

So Pie supporters have finally conceded that we were the better side this year

Candy

 

[Fadge]

It's almost as if they've reached their level and plateaued.

Shhh.

You'll be labelled as a troll by the victimised Carlton supporters.

 

[South of the Yarra]

Of course if you finish higher you're better, the difference here is the Carlton supporters have the balls to call it as it is.

And now Robertio has admitted that Collingwood have been a greater club than Carlton ovr the entire history of the game. This is a watershed moment in the history of Big Footy.

 

[Arr0w]

Someone sprinkled a snickers on their salt this morning

Edited for accuracy

You would hope it hurts. Hurt drives success. Fortunately for us we are not a club that celebrates mediocrity like Carlton.

 

[Fadge]

8 flags to 3 over the past 65 years - we know more about the double chance than you indicate , nuffie
( curiously - what is the ledger since you were born ? - asking for a friend )

Young Carlton supporters aren't familiar with the double chance - they've never seen their team be good enough to secure it.

Conversely, old Carlton supporters are getting to the age they start to forget about what it means to secure a double chance.

And it's glorious.

As for your last question - as if you've got a friend...

8 to 3

10 to 5 post WWII

And it's glorious

 

[Robertio]

In the entire history of the game Carlton has 22 premierships to Collingwoods 17 so you may need to have another coffee mate.

 

[Fadge]

Even the bookies think that Carlton have the worst depth in the league and will finish bottom 4View attachment 2178970

Just another off season where the punters, bookies and media are overrating Carlton.

Who would have guessed?

If Collingwood are so great why then , this :
A) they don't play footy at Victoria Park
B) they've won 3 grand finals over the past 65 years
C) they've lost the most grand finals in the universe of any sport known to mankind
D) they haven't won consecutive premierships in almost 100 years
E) they had one of the biggest net loss of ladder positions ever this year ( 2nd biggest behind Geelong ?)

lord, give me strength

 

[Fadge]

Not my metric and not my measure. It is Carlton supporters who have stated if you finish higher you are better. And by the way if you count finals (which of course you should Collingwood have finished higher. than Carlton more). So, thank you to you as well for admitting Collingwood are the greatest club in history. Big admissions from Arr0w and carlton_99 that Collingwood are the greatest club in history. This has changed the fabric of this thread.

You're giving them credit for having the mental capacity to understand they have admitted what they have indeed admitted.

I suspect you're expecting too much.

 

[Worm4]

You would hope it hurts. Hurt drives success. Fortunately for us we are not a club that celebrates mediocrity like Carlton.

You would have been sitting on the couch at home cheering for Fremantle in the last game of the year so an extremely mediocre Collingwood outfit would somehow sneak into the top 8 for only the 4th week of the entire season.

 

[Worm4]

Just another off season where the punters, bookies and media are overrating Carlton.

Who would have guessed?

So just Carlton again being over rated by 3rd parties, not Collingwood ? Surely not just Carlton ? Oh boy

That was based on a discussion around considering the players based on their historical finals performances.

But not unlike you to either not comprehend the context of the discussion, or twist it into something it's not in order to sensationalise it.

I suspect it's the former.

 

[Arr0w]

Just realised, I've seen more flags than 98% of living pie supporters

 

[Fadge]

Yep.

As it has happened every year for the last 4 years.

'But 2025 will be different'...

Worm fact check time

Fremantle winning would have seen the Pies drop on the ladder.
Collingwood were in the top8 for more than 4 weeks.

Do you ever bother to post anything that is actually correct?

Pies fans would have been cheering on Freo, as it would have meant the Blueshakes missed the 8. But we got to enjoy 0-60 the next week, so an even better outcome.

Still waiting for you to tell me how that Powerhouse Club Sydney has topped up their list with imported susperstars....

money ball mney ball maoney ball!!!!

LOL @ you knucklehead.

meanwhile Fudgeymatics is still trying to figure out how to play snakes and ladders because his kinda hasnt taught him simple subtraction yet...

another dimwitted dill to add to the Pies salad..

Oh well there is always tequilla and sombreros.

let em rip you dirty dogs birds- we are enjoying your bucket of salty tears and screeching denials of the relevance of H&A or playing finals..

LOOOOOSERS!

Is that a fact ?
My bad - 7 weeks. Congratulations on reaching mediocrity

 

[Arr0w]

Very vivid

 

[carlton_99]

What's this?

After we've been told ad nauseum over the last two months that the 'ladder doesn't lie' and the 'higher team is better'...

No. I have been very consistent that if both teams make finals the ladder goes out the window and it becomes about finals positions. In the above situation I will always say 3rd had a better season because they progressed further in finals.
