It's a bullshit stat if you're claiming the final 8 should be based on total quarters won, rather than total games.
But as another indicator of how costly our inconsistency within a game can be, then I think it's a reasonable representation (ie. had we been able to perform more evenly across all four quarters then we could be in the

Aaaaand it also serves as another reminder of conceding 5 goal run ons. The heat will be on Teague if we keep that shit up next season.
Anyway, if nothing else it shows with (hopefully) a few tweaks in mental preparation and coaching strategies that we're capable of making the 8.
I agree, it is a bullshit stat. A bit like claiming to win the the most sessions in a cricket Test Match but losing the match overall. It means donuts.
It also means teams just have to play one good quarter to beat us. The opposition don’t care about the other three as long as they win the game.
Remember during our halcyon days, David Parkin’s Premiership quarters? One good quarter was enough to win.
So many posters saying “We are not far off”. I hope they are right.
Hopefully in 2021 we won’t be clutching at these straws.
Go Blues!
Yes, but "winning sessions" of cricket depicts momentum.We couldn't keep up momentum, couldn't start momentum, didn't have momentum for a "session" or 20 minutes, umpires had a lapse for 20 minutes er quarter...

Yep, it's another 'Metric'.
Dismissing it would be like football departments taking No notice of 'inside 50' counts, Contested v Uncontested etc.
Well in modern footy All metrics count, they show where the work is needed.
Btw, in raw Quarters won Carlton was actually 4th for much of the year and STILL finished equal 4th (St.Kilda, Richmond, WB only caught up in round 17).
as I posted here...
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=36994&start=7942- Port, Gee
40 - Brisbane
39 - Carlton, St.Kilda, Richmond, Bulldogs
...just look at the company we keep - All playing finals.Besides, if you're winning all the quarters you're winning the game right?
and getting all the points for the 'real' ladder.
