Anyone else laugh when they saw Carlton at the top of the ladder?

No shock that in 4 of our 5 wins we've been in front at quarter time.

The quarter time score essentially tells us if we're going to win or lose a game of footy this year.

The outliers being that in the North game we were in front at quarter time. Conversely in the Brisbane game we were behind by 3 goals. Quite a shocking (in a positive way) result that we beat Brisbane.

 

I have a suspicion that if you sliced our season so far into thirds, we'd be absolute bottom to start, then a little inside the top half for the second slice, and most recently sitting around 14th.

But yeesh, Carlton... between this and the cascading injuries you'd have to wonder if they've completely bollocksed the conditioning program.

I haven't seen fatigue and injury hit a club this decisively since [redacted]

Mate, injuries no excuse. They are just 💩

Dogs ravaged by injury this year, Brisbane not as much but managing well, GWS are thereabouts and even Collingwood last season were only percentage away from the 8 in spite of being gutted with personnel and injury issues.

There is a reason why their inbred fans have waited 30+ years for another flag. Carlton deserve nothing better.

First quarters matter.

How often do you win when down 4 or 5 goals at QT? It happens but it's a low percentage.

Carlton is an outlier altogether, for whatever reason they don't have the fitness or mentality to sustain their efforts.

This is sounding like the brontosaurus skit.

For a long time our intensity in the first 10 minute of the game will indicate whether we are “ON” and are in for a good day at the footy.

So the data supports the experience of a mediocre season.

 

WTF is wrong with the Blues? 154% and 11-4

that is hilarious

need a fitness coach or a psych?

or a priest?

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
