CARLTON LOSE TO ESSENDON.
CARLTON kicked 6 unanswered goals in the 3rd/4th quarters in todays game.
96% of all AFL teams who score 6 consequtive goals in a game go on to win the game.
Carlton are in the 4% minority,
Those stats are subject to exact accuracy, the 96% would be approximate

Might just be a crock of shite. Perhaps Carlton are just crap. Essendon are crap so it makes sense that a side that loses to them is.

Anyway you put it, it's good to see the words 'Carlton' & 'failure' used in the same sentence. :lol:

I wonder how many times we've gone in as favourites in the last few years and lost. 100% I'd reckon.

yesterday was the only game in the last 15 years you went in favourites and you lost.

so 100% sounds about right.
