Carlton have won more premierships than Eagles, but Eagles are doing a lot better than Carlton at the moment.

Colllingwood is the most parochial of all AFL teams.You either love them or hate them theres no side lines to the question. Officially they have been in more Grand finals in AFL history and have come up second best, played in something like 40 grandfinals however they have won 14 Premier ships,the highest with AFL premierships is Carlton with 16. Carlton are a rich elite club,Collingwood are a working class struggling club with good solid membership about 40,000 plus

Carlton has more of a storied football club. They have had the better team in recent years and they are a true force in the AFL.

It depends, are you talking about right now ? or are you talking about the history ?
History - Carlton have been around a lot longer and have won more GF's and played in more GF's
Recently - Eagles have played in more Finals and won GF's in recent years and finished much higher than Carlton last season.

I'll give the eagles credit and say recently they would be better-although their player management needs some work,Carlton have had longer term success and would rate higher on those grounds
and on a personal note its no contest-the blue baggers win hands down-weather they are on the bottom or winning flags-that's why i barrack for them :)

Eagles, I have no idea when Carlton last made it to the top 8. It was like a long times ago and also they have or had hottie ben Cousins in there. Hehe :)

Neither in my opinion - i hate them both and cant bring myself to picking either......JUST KIDDING!!!
Long term - Carlton have been the better side but its a bit unfair since WC Eagles havent been in the league as long as Carlton...

If you are talking recent history, I would say the Eagles - up until a few month ago with all the Ben Cousins rubbish; but if you mean storied history, a multitude of great players, and length of participation and competition, I would have to the say the Ol' Dark Navy Blue would win hands down.

A funny question....
Blind Freddy can see that the West Coast Eagles are currently a far superior team to Carlton (Read Matt's comments) in relation to win/loss ratio.
But Carlton have been in the competition far longer & have achieved more premierships due to length of participation.
If your question relates to which is the better team administration wise; best supporters; best facilities; player behaviour etc......then the Eagles are streets ahead of Carlton!

Carlton- Their Midfield is way better than W.Coast.
Carlton have
Judd, Steven, Simpsons, Scotland. Murphy, Carrazzo and more
The only good Mid eagle has is Braun, Kerr and Fletcher.
