Quarters won by a team is often a great indicator of how well a team is really performing.

We've played 7 games - 28 quarters. We've won 8 (just over 1 quarter per game).

Down the bottom of the ladder -

Carlton - 8 quarters won
Melbourne - 11
Richmond - 8

Yep, we've won as many quarters as Richmond, pretty embarrassing isn;t it???

This is a damning indicator, and unfortunately, one is hard pressed to find a side other than Richmond that is worse than us. If anyone thinks Melbourne is worse than us, they're dreaming.

We are in a very sick state on-field (at least off-field is starting to sort itself).

If not for Dick Pratt we'd all be feeling very sorry right now.

I'm feeling sorry with Dick.

that is terrible, the only bright side is that the 1/4s we have won have hopefully been when the game was still 'alive' - I think you will find last year we won some last 1/4rs when the other team stopped and cruised at the end.

In the early 1980s we generally only ever won 1 quarter per game and more often than not it was the Third Quarter. :wink:

An interesting stat would be inside 50's per quarter.

A more interesting stat would be number of quarters left before we sack Pagan.

The lower that number is ...the better off we will all be.

If we get thrashed this weekend...will Pagan be the coach the week after?

Get ready for another classic Pagan inspired 60+ blowout this week. Schimma has been waiting 14 years for this. Don't worry Wayne, your day is fast approaching

We have now won the least quarters of any team in the league, even Richmond

PP surely awaits

He must be a greedy bastard is the 20 goal embarassment R22 game a few years back wasn't enough for him. :oops:

We're 1/8 for last quarters won as well. Although, credit to the guys tonight for having the sheer will to make a decent fightback when the game looked lost midway through the last.

We had Betts out injured and Whitnall and Fev limping away from the three quarter time huddle, and also a VERY YOUNG midfield with several thousand less kilometres in their legs than their opposition.

The last quarter was a fantastic effort from the team on the park.

Yep, I concede that. It started ugly, but we showed a lot of ticker to kick our best 4th quarter score for the year.

Like last week, the damage was done in the 3rd quarter.

Does that strike anyone else as painfully ironic?
