Last time Carlton were on top?

[Juddbemetron]

I was just wondering
When was the last time carlton were on top of the ladder after any round
may have been as early as 1995
im pretty sure its the first time this millenium

 

[cfc_4_ever]

Round 12 1996 by my calculations. Been watch the Freo game hoping that the dogs dont go nuts trying to figure it out.

[cfc_4_ever]

I know I am happy. But that long makes me wanna hang me head in shame. So I will think about the future.........

yes i dont know if its a record
but its not a record i want carlton to have

 

[Audrey_Horne]

Come on Freo!!

 

[Juddbemetron]

Come on Freo!!

i think we r safe
w.b would need to score in excess of 200
thats 60+ points in 10 mins

 

[Warsaw]

It's done, Bloody Ripper

We're Numero Uno

 

[cfc_4_ever]

Another long bad thing hanging over our head is gone. Now lets make it top two weeks in a row and smash brissie!!!!

 

[Andyt31]

The Way Essendon played we could make it 3
we should belt either Brisbane or Essendon
both would be a bonus its time to give the other sides a smashing pay back for giving us a flogging
use Brisbane & Essendon as more Percentage Boosters

Means nothing unless we keep it up for say... 24 more or so rounds?

 

[blues4flag]

Great way to start the season, to be sure.

Fairly easy draw to start the season, too - not that the players should be thinking as much.

I was desperate to write that. However I got into my mind "1 week at a time"

 

[Juddys_navy_blues]

Very important thatwe keep a good percentage, it can be the difference between 6th and 12 sometimes. A loss like richmond had can be as bad as looseing 2 games, because it takes so long just to get back on even scores. Thats why its important we play competitive all year and dont cop a hugh trashing along the way.

 

[Lahmy88]

It is a very exciting start to the season, however like many i don't want to get ahead of myself. Give it 6 rounds and we'll see where we fit on the ladder.

Vanessa Carlton.....last night if I remember rightly...

It's usually good to know where to source this info. One good place is Footy Stats:

http://footystats.freeservers.com/Footystats/Ladder87.html#CARLTON

Last time Carlton were #1: Round 12, 1996
Last time Carlton were top 4: Round 16, 2001
Last time Carlton were top 4 after Rd 1: Round 1, 2000
Last time Carlton were top 4 after Rd 2: Round 2, 2000
Last time Carlton were top 4 after Rd 3: Round 3, 1995

Another stat:

Last time Carlton scored 150 pts: Round 13, 2001

 

[Dramoth]

According to foxsports... after our demolision of Richmond, we are now third favorites for the flag...

Would be nice, but I dont think so...

if we are still in the top 4 in 6 weeks... lets start talking

 

[Sublime]

Being on top after round 1 doesn't even count. The only time it counts is after 22 rounds and 4 weeks of finals...

 

[Charbzilla]

Great way to start the season, to be sure.

Fairly easy draw to start the season, too - not that the players should be thinking as much.

to be sure, to be sure, to be sure!



Hate to point out the elephant on the dinner table, but there is a massive difference between being number 1 after beating just bleakmond and being number one mid season! Blah!

 

[esoteric]

Let's enjoy the moment. When was the last tiime that Carlton were on top and NONE of Collingwood, Essendon, Hawthorn and Richmond were in the eight (or the four or five or six if it was that long ago)?

 

[celtic_pride]

Talking top 4 or premiership betting etc is taking a verrrrry long bow.

I think the Tigers were worse than we were good - but we were pretty good.

However, a big win against a likely competitor for a finals spot is worth a ton. It gives the youngsters confidence, it will take Richmond weeks to make up that % difference, even if things go well for them and poorly for us, and we got the all important 4 points. Could not ask for more out of the first round.

 

[Andyt31]

wonder if it be the same if it had been Collingwood, fremantle Essendon or Melbourne if we had played either side and not Richmond all shit sides
