I must have watching a different Carlton over the past 4 weeks. I don't care what the Champion Data metrics say, I am very concerned how we are going.
What was interesting also was that no team over the past 20 years that has won the flag, has lost more than 3 of their last 8 games.
The Swans and us are right on the knife's edge now.
There was some stat that showed that teams that have lost 3 games in a row, but managed to STILL be in top spot have only won the flag once in 20 attempts. The last (and only) team was Fitzroy over 100 years ago.
By that logic it says that Sydney can't win it.
Once finals hits, all that has come before it goes out the window.
You only need to worry about winning 3 (or 4) games and you have the flag.
