After some serious heartache on the injury front in the opening round, there was more carnage — and cruel fate — in Round 1. And it all started on Thursday night in the thrilling encounter between Carlton and Richmond. The Tigers and their army of fans were gutted to see young star Josh Gibcus go down with a knee injury that has sadly ended his season. It is a bitter blow for the 20-year-old defender who missed the entire 2023 season with hamstring troubles in the same leg.
Magpies fans will of course look to Sydney, who won the flag in 2005, dropped their first two of 2006, before making a run all the way to the grand final. But since the start of the 21st century, approximately 18 per cent of teams who have started 0-2 have recovered to make finals. Digging deeper into the Magpies’ form and dating back to last year they are actually 5-5 with four losses by 24 points or more and four wins by under 10 points. Maybe they aren’t as good as we think.
