So I was bored and inspired slightly by the Squiggle and also noticing how many sides passed the 86 points conceded on average rule but not the score 100 points rule (which is supposed to be a hard and fast rule about whether a side is premiership standard or not). Therefore I decided to calculate the average points scored by a team in a Home and Away season (basically it's the total of all teams EOY "for" total divided by total of all teams games played)
Since 1990, the average points scored by a team is:
1990 100.0519
1991 102.6091
1992 103.6394
1993 105.09
1994 94.4303
1995 94.40625
1996 93.96023
1997 90.33523
1998 93.58239
1999 95.7017
2000 103.3892
2001 98.09659
2002 94.87784
2003 94.74716
2004 93.17045
2005 95.47443
2006 92.93182
2007 95.58239
2008 97.65341
2009 91.39773
2010 90.46875
2011 92.96257
2012 92.09596
2013 92.77525
2014 86.54798
2015 85.59829
The drop from 1993 to 1994 can probably be explained by the reduction in playing time. There's also noticeable peaks around 2000/01 and 2007/08, with troughs in 1997 and 2009/10. But there's been a big drop from 2013 to 2014, which 2015 has confirmed. My question is, why?
