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.

The Brave Blues.

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.

71%. That's disgraceful and indictment on the coaches and the players.

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

that is hilarious

need a fitness coach or a psych?

or a priest?
