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

[Corn Cobbers]

lol without any support from opposition clubs supporters you would not exist. You should be humble to us to have the success you had albeit brief, and given your recruiting it will be a very long time before you are competitive again

They've forgotten about guys like you, the Tigers are such a big club now that they play in places like Cairns and the Barossa Valley

Off topic but will this be the first winless season since whenever? 60 odd years

Jeez can't ever recall seeing anyone who wanted more mileage than you out of a lousy $10.

Brief success? Is that what you call us winning 50% more Grand Finals in 4 years than your club has won in 66 years?
People who wanted the Tigers to survive gave money. But in your case it seems you didn't want Richmond to thrive. So why did you give the money? 2017-20 must have burned you bad Heefy. Or maybe you are claiming to have given money you never gave.

You should be incredibly grateful to have supported at least one club who knows how to win Grand Finals. Albeit with just $10. Richmond has paid you back at $3.33 per Grand Final victory. That is pretty good value Heefy.

well my late brother was a Richmond supporter and made me give him money, unfortunately during his sickness he was still going but very distraught with the pathetic performances they put up for 20 years from 1981 until he died, i even hoped they would win something for him and they were pathetic. Pathetic still for the next 15 years too...
Richmond are like the priest in Caddyshack, played the perfect round for a while then got struck by lightning and died.
Back to the topic, at least you have that while the Blues supporters are still thinking the 8th from last season as a win for them after also being pathetic for 25 years

Also seem to get the odd gig on places like the MCG & Gabba when Grand Final day arrives. And when those days have arrived, guess which humble little quiet club was ready, willing & able to deal with it 8 of the last 10 times of asking? And which uncouth, loud mouthed, boastful, presumptuous club wasn't quite up to dealing with it 13 of the last 15 times of asking?

It is just a shame for you CC, but that ability to choke big games, often from impossible positions, is just endemic to Good Old Collingwood. And I am sure it will be forever.

Sorry to hear about your late brother Heefy. He was clearly a good person.

On the other hand, my ex-nephew is a Collingwood supporter.

Depends...one finals win will leave me satisfied. Just one.

I will pay that.

They also have the trek down to Geelong again.

The draw is always rigged in the Pies favour, most sides play anywhere but the Pies get their 17 MCG games every season. Just have a look where Scott Pendlebury hasn't played, grossly unfair to most clubs.

Carlton AFL premiers 2025 bookmark that. You heard it here first!

I just have this feeling that everything is aligning for this to be the year it all happens.

It isnt a draw though - it is a FIX ture. how else do you think these prennial losers could make it to 3 flags in three decades..c'mon man ...the greatest bunch of whiney whiners in Australia - even allowed to squat in Richmond next to the MCG ...

LOL worthy 'participant beneficiaries of AFL crookedness'...and then they have the hiode (or is it just ignorance?) to think that they are a 'powerhouse club'...

LMAO

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

People thinking that we are disappearing off the radar are fooling themselves.

There's another three years of serious footy at least in this Carlton team.

It's the Pies i'd be more worried about. They desperately need to top up on younger talent, before the Tassie team comes into the league.

'Another 3 years'. Are you suggesting this list has already had 3 years of 'serious footy'? Gee expectations are low at Carlton.

No, we haven't heard it first. We have heard it from many Carlton supporters.

Strange that- I haven't. Maybe you should name the 'many'...

Happy to.
Nando, Gino, Mick, Andrew, Phil, Dave, Jake, Nugget, Banjo and Ripples off the top of my head.

Yep.

'Contending to qualify for finals' is what Carlton consider 'serious footy' nowadays.

Oh boy.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Ah Wormy...

We all know numbers and facts aren't your thing...

If you were able to hit a 250 metre drive on the fly 'in your prime', you would have been in the absolute minority of Amateur golfers who are able to do so.

https://shotscope.com/blog/stats/distribution-of-driving-distances-2020/

Here is a study from 2020 of average driver distances of amateur golfers, with less than 30% being able to hit it over 250 YARDS (which includes roll-out).

300 yards is 275 metres, and if you're carrying your drive 250 metres, you'd add 25 to 40 metres of roll.

You must have been a very good golfer...

That's not necessarily true.... I'm a terrible golfer but a long driver, the two aren't tied hand in hand together.

Once drove to the green on a 320m par 4 at Malvern Valley on the back 9 and ended up with a double bogey.

Short game is where golfers make their names, driving long is a simple matter of genetic ability half the time.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion

Yep.

'Contending to qualify for finals' is what Carlton consider 'serious footy' nowadays.

Oh boy.

Fancy latching on to a wrong conclusion

Oh boy

'Another' 3 years, would suggest there has been a previous 3 years.

No it doesn't, it just stipulates what the poster believes this current group has to be at the pointy end, with no indication the previous 3 were at the same level

'English for Carlton supporters...'

Completely reinventing the definition of 'another'.

Nice to have a Carlton poster who can respond in good spirit and not try and throw personal insults in every post. Appreciate the good banter, like most posters on here give.

 

[JustaBattler]

Nice to fact check Collimngwood posters and call themn out for the hypoerbole and untruths.

suggest you refer to the various definitions of the meaning and use of the word 'another' before laughing at posters and causing unecessary bad feelings.
