Top work right there.
Out of curiosity, what's our average winning margin? Small sample I know!
20.8
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

In the past thats true but I think they are due and might get a return out of the Smith, Cameron, Higgins recruitment and make the GF this season.
Smith comes from the premiership factory and apart from the miss in the Prelim, he is a big game performer. Higgins will fill his shorts, Danger and Cameron will go to water as will Henderson and 2E.

What about the 1.10 with Mark Arceri kicking our only goal for the game in the last quarter?

EDIT: Bricky beat me too it.

Yes, that was was close to embarrassing. The free was dubious but thankfully we got it. The one saw with Hawthorn in 1980 the whole 14pts straight happened in one qtr, the last, in a game we lost by 2pts. I reckon that topped the one at the Western Oval marginally only for the fact we got beaten by 2pts rather than hammered like on the Arceri day.

I thought the latter two were shot and headed for oblivion but seem in rare form which is annoying.
Without Richmond in the frame I think Geelong will fancy themselves, just my opinion.

The omen bet is Melbourne. The last time they won a flag the Olympics were in Tokyo.

I was wondering if I ever saw us kick worse at goal then remembered I was at the game against Hawthorn in 1980 when we kicked 14 points straight in the last qtr against Hawthorn to lose it. To add insult to injury, then Dominator kicked an impossible goal on his wrong foot after the siren, which saw as lose by 2pts.

Another example was a game at the Western Oval against Footscray that I had watched. We kicked something like 4 - 24 to lose. Alex Ruscuklic, our FF that season, kicked 1 goal 9 behinds from 12 shots. Had he kicked straight, he would have outscored the Dogs by himself. He had 15 marks that day, from memory. His goal was with his left foot off the ground in the goal square
Live Long and Prosper!

The Carlton 12.24.96 in 1948 had one of the worst shots at goal I can remember. The Carlton player took a mark on the goal line, and from 5 yards out directly in front hit a point post on the full.

It was one of those days.

They do well against lesser opponents and in meaningless games at KP, watch what happens come finals time.

Coaches' votes :
I would have put Weiters at 1 and Walsh at 2 but I guess even the coaches dont find a gun KPD sexy despite putting on a masterclass against one of the more experienced power fwds on the comp.
Interesting the Italian keeper was name player of the tournament, love a good defender I do. Gun Defences win premierships (and Championships) in any code.

Agree I would have had Weitering as my BOG, degree of difficulty on Hawkins was very high.
I also find it hard to give a best on ground to Walsh when his opponent was Guthrie who was very damaging, love Sam as a player
but I rate accountability highly and while I had Sam slightly in front, the Geelong bloke had 30 odd possies and in simple terms they cancelled each other out but Weitering IMHO won his position well.
