Carltonâs capitulation to the Western Bulldogs on Sunday was the 18th time during David Teagueâs tenure that the Blues have conceded five or more unanswered goals.
In that time, since round 12, 2019 to now, only Essendon has seen sides pile on unanswered runs of goals in more games. Twenty times in the same period Essendon has been unable to stop the onslaught.
The Blues gave up a 27-point lead against the Dogs on the weekend. The statistics on such goal runs point to the Bluesâ difficulty in stopping momentum once it swings against them. This is not a new problem at Carlton.
