2025 1st Quarter Ladder

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?

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
