http://spiritofcarlton.com/blog/2011/05 ... hip-round/During the 1980s the Blues made the third quarter of every game famous as the 'premiership quarter'. The Blues would routinely put the game out of reach of the opposition with a burst of goals, often in front of the roaring masses in the Heatley Stand.
It just so happens that not only do the Blues have a premiership quarter, but a premiership round as well. After hours of extensive research our stats team have determined that (obviously) apart from grand final day there is only one round that the Blues have never lost in each premiership year.
That round is in fact round eleven which has the perfect record, sixteen wins for sixteen premierships. So the more superstitious among us would be forgiven for hoping for a win against Port Adelaide this week.
For the record of our sixteen premiership round wins five were against Melbourne, three against Sydney/South Melbourne, two against North Melbourne and the rest single wins against Collingwood, Fitzroy, Western Bulldogs, St Kilda, Geelong and Hawthorn.
