at least they can console themselves that they finished above Collingwood on percentage.

that's deemed a winning season for perennial losers like Carlton

Remember when Carlton beat Collingwood by 10 goals in 2012, and their supporters carried on like they had just won the flag?

+ 1999 Qualifying Final v Brisbane Lions @ Gabba - L

imagine winning a final by 12 goals and then finishing two spots behind them

Pies supporters are such sweethearts and always looking at everything we do!

Thread is not complete until we hear from Fudgey though.

A model of what not to do as a football club

Made the GF that year due to the McIntyre system with the top 2 losers advance to week 2

yeah I know, was around then, 1998 was a bit similar with the Demons beating the Crows and then the Crows winning the flag.

But it still felt wrong. Blues were a top 8 fringe side who moved into 6th a month out from finals when they narrowly beat the dogs. They weren't really perceived as a serious threat to the top few, would've been long odds to make the GF going into that series.

0-9 record away from Melbourne.

Is this as noteworthy as it first appears tho?
If Carlton are playing a final away, then it means they finished lower than their opposition and would have headed into each of these matches as the underdog.

How does this stack up against every other team over the same time period?

So says a club thats lost 27 grand finals 25% of which were to Carlton.

We have made finals 15 times this century, played in 7 Grand Finals (2W-4L-1D) vs you guys making the finals and not winning interstate

Blues are the worst, every other Melb side has won at least one including Essendon

Hate to be that guy but would love to see everyone’s interstate finals record. Not sure many would have good records, not sure anyone would have worse though.

2 of Richmonds wins would have been neutral games. V St Kilda in Gold Coast and v Geelong at the Gabba. I assume all 3 of Melbournes wins were neutral in 2021.

 

[Bagger72]

Well maybe 155 years history of Carlton suggests playing finals outside from the MCG is not real finals football.

This is where the big dance is won or lost not in some provincial backwater

Yes the figures are distorted by the Covid era

Nevertheless... big fat zero for the Blueshakers

Awesome! Thank you.

I guess this counts the finals games in 20 and 21, which to be fair counts as an away game from Melbourne like the OP stated. I probably wouldn’t count neutral games but keeping them in or taking them out the Blose still have a worse record than the other Victorians

 

[dees arent rabble]

Cripps would have to be the worst captain in the league.

Cant get his players up.
Needs to stand down

Judd 2.0

 

[Fadge]

Hang on.

There's a massive gap between 2014 and 2022.

How did they perform in interstate finals during that time?

At least we can win a finals game in Melbourne i suppose. Some other clubs have spent the last twenty years trying to win a finals game both in Melbourne and interstate!

Yes they are distorted
Geelong's win on Thursday v Port was our first interstate finals win ever, not including the Covid years
