Collingwood will struggle with no injuries

 

[doppleganger]

You've all literally been telling us for years that all of these players are trash.

Make up your mind will you?

Perennially injured was the note.

Year in year out, Bagger fans would list them as best 22 and talk up Martin, Marchbank and Cunningham as important....only for them to break down every year.

When they were fit, they were all part of the glory run in 2023 (Carlton fans vindicated I guess).

The critique was why continue to carry so many blokes who have proven they can't get their body right. In 2024 5 was the peak games any of them gave the Baggers (perhaps adding to the long injury list aka excuse was their main reason kept on the list?).

Carlton have finally given them all the flick (could have done it 3 seasons ago) and replaced with kids, so weakened depth compared to the B2B finals dynasty years.

Could have done it 3 years ago, I agree.

But we still have 30 odd blokes who have proven themselves to be of AFL quality on the list. Are they all high quality AFL players? No, but they've all shown they can come in and play a role when needed.

As for the unproven kids, we'll see how many step up this year to be more than just speculative.

I've said it before, the only player we'll actually miss this year is Kennedy. The rest needed to go.

Jack Martin won't last more than 4 games. Doesn't have the sanctuary of the roof over at Marvel will find the open air of Kardinia Park a frightening prospect. Nothing surer

There is some hope for the Pies - a 38 year old just knocked over the 4th seed at the Oz open. It's rare, but it happened so where there is hope i guess.....

Tuck went out with his last game being a GF win as a 38 year old.

Pendles to do the same in 2026 GF, which will also be his 450th game.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Fudger not a fan of Jordan Boyd it seems.

I wonder why...

“Miles ahead”: Carlton has the best kick in the competition coming out of defence and must use him more

“Across the season, Carlton are 12th in scoring from their back half at the moment.”

thats a very very young bull right there folks - cant tell from teh vid wethetr its requisits havent dropped or wether theyve already been snipped - either way ...

hmm my other thoughts are

bulls**t baffles nuffy brains &

walk the talk or STFU....

I'd offer a bet to you - but I reckon you are ok for a dirty birder and would be a shame to see you gone 4eva.

I'm a front Vittoria of the first order and about 5 minutes away from a life ban and a life sentence.

I don't make bets I rob cars, I'm like a blue collar Richard Pratt.

What a way to go out...

Back to back premierships in your 450th.

Next you'll be telling me you've got an armful of tatts and havent been to a dentist - eva.

No tatts, but I've been to the dentist plenty, had 3 teeth pulled .

Amateur. Only 3 ? I'm your classic looking pies supporter - 5 gone

Ha!!

thought so.

You arent a dirty birder you are an imposter!

 

[Monco Matt]

I'm looking forward to the 2025 season. The Pies and the Blues are set for a cracking season and I know both sides will be up there competing hard for the top 4. Just can not wait, bring it on!!! I'd love nothing more than to see a Pies v Blues final, it has been far too long since 1988. All the best to both of our famous clubs, no other clubs hold relevence!!! Let's go!

Imagine using men's tennis as an example were 3 legends of the game have won a ton of grand slam's
as 30 year old's. How thick can you be ?

 

[Monco Matt]

As a Pies supporter my feeling towards the Blues are mixed. Yes, I want to beat you guys every time in any way any how anywhere. However.........I have a little issue. My sister and my mum are both Carrrrrrrrlton supporters and it does pain me to see them suffer for so long (as a kid growing up there were many tense moments as you can imagine!). I understand, I feel it with them evey season, it tears me apart. When the Pies play the Blues I want to beat you guys everytime, no question. But, because I want the other half of my family to also experience the exhiliharation of success, I do hope that the Blues win one for them soon. Personally, I'd like to see the Pies jump to 17 flags fiirst b4 the Blues win one, but, to all you blues fans out there sometimes in someway we all have other reasons to see the ultimate rival succeed. After all, some of us Pies fans are not like Arsenal v Spurs fans, we are actually more civilised. I would just love to see both clubs go head to head in September, what a spectacle it would be. Good luck to all!!

Plenty of players have won grand finals in their 30's. None of those legends won a slam at 38. Carry on with your bright observation and welcome to a banter thread einstein

Unlike tennis, football is a team sport hence no reliance on your oldest player to drag you over the line.
Tom brady won the super bowl at 39,Jabbar NBA champion at 41, Parish 43. Maldini won the CL at 38,
Van De Sar the PL at 40 and the list goes on.
Our very own world champion cricket team has a 38&37 year old playing for them.

In case you hadn't noticed, we don't take things too seriously around these neck of the woods. If you get offended by a bit of banter about old sportsman, perhaps read the room a bit better. Maybe make fun about Craig Bradley playing over 500 senior games well into his 50's or something of that nature ...

You see it as 'being offended'.

Those with a grasp on the English language beyond Prep level see it as correcting your many and regular mistakes.

Just what mistake did he make?

We had an old side last year and beat the Blues twice so not sure we needed the Aus Open as a guide.

[WalshistheGOAT]

Amusing seeing Fudger trying to compare Saad with Quaynor... Mind you, this is with two games Saad was subbed out of with injury too so his averages would be even farther ahead of Quaynor lmao. It's not even close.
