AFL Rd 2 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[BluePhantom]

I heard one of the Blues from that era explaining how the "premiership quarter" originated. It was a radio interview and I can't even recall for sure who was being interviewed but I think it was Rhys-Jones. He was asked how it started and he said that the boys used to have a big night out on Friday night and were a bit dusty when they turned up for the game. That resulted in them being a bit lethargic in the 1st half. But after having a break at half-time, they were set to go in the 3rd quarter!

I understood it came earlier than Rhys. During the dreamteam days 79-82.
Probably you're right about the night before, but how I thought it worked was just do enough for the first half to stay level pegging then let loose in the 3rd, get the lead and then cruise to the win in the 4th.
I seem to remember (probably with rose coloured glasses) but we would seem to go harder in the 3rd.
