TalkingCarlton :: View topic - One statistic that highlights our demise

I raised this after round 16 and we haven't fared much better since.

Over the last 7 rounds of football (ie Kangaroos onwards), we have scored a total of 9 first Qtr goals...........an absolutely dreadful 'trend'.

:eek:

It would a terrific wake up call for us to miss the finals at the expense of the Demons.....perhaps the youngest side of all. And with 3 winnable games over the last 4 for them they may well do it.

We had 3 scoring shots in a half on Saturday. Forget the historical trend, 3 shots in the most recent game ..... in a half :eek:

Ratts loves stats doesn't he?........... :confused:

We're doooooooomed! :lol:

Any other week I would have said it shows a complete lack of intensity relative to the opposition, but truth be told, it qualifies as our second best quarter of the game under that criteria. In my opinion, it was our best quarter. We had a dip. We weren't getting too many on the board, but neither were they. We worked harder for longer in that quarter than any other for the match.

That was an improvement, however minuscule. The rest was utterly woeful.

Agreed it was their pressure over the course of the first quarter which spooked us and had us waving the white flag soon after

9 goals. Wow, that's pretty poor.

Damning isn't it! 2-5 over the last 7 games. God I hope we get off to a good start this week.

Ratts would love my 6yo, does this all the time. He remembered that we kicked 57 points against the Filth and when he saw that the Roos were on 56 points against the Dogs (albeit with plenty of time left) he observed that Carlton would have beaten them.

I turned to my mate halfway through the first and said our boys were trying hard but wouldn't be able to withstand that type of pressure for too much longer. My prediction was that we'd fold halfway through the second. It came even quicker than that!!
