I was going through the entry for the Blues at wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlton_Football_Club} and found this incredible list. It shows the position we've finished, and the number of times we've finished it.

Key points:
-Very top-heavy list
-The ones down the bottom have a sad trend to them
-Up until 1991 we never finished lower than 10th
Exactly the sort of thing that makes me swell with pride at the club I support. Let's hope we can add some more to the top
