The best 5, and worst 5, individual performances of the last 15 years

Duritz · May 20, 2013

Hi all,

I've undertaken a bit of a statistical study, and come up with what I think are the best 5, and worst 5, individual player performances of the last 15 seasons, from 1999 to current day.

I thought I'd reveal them here, generate a little discussion, etc. I'll start with #5 both top and bottom, IE 5th best, and 5th worst, and work my way to the pinnacle, and the pit.

#5
5th best performance of last 15 seasons:
ALASTAIR LYNCH
Brisbane Lions
7/09/2002
Brisbane Lions vs Adelaide Crows
Lions 115, Crows 44
KICKS: 15
MARKS: 12
HANDBALLS: 2
DISPOSALS: 17
GOALS: 7
BEHINDS: 5
HITOUTS: 1
TACKLES: 0
REBOUND_50: 0
INSIDE_50: 1
CLEARANCES: 0
CLANGERS: 2
FREES_FOR: 0
FREES_AGAINST: 2
BROWNLOW_VOTES: 0
CONTESTED_POSESSIONS: 3
UNCONTESTED_POSESSIONS: 12
CONTESTED_MARKS: 3
MARKS_INSIDE_50: 11
ONE_PERCENTERS: 3
GOAL_ASSISTS: 0

An outstanding performance, in a side that scored just 115 points, Lynch scored 47 of them, but with 12 marks, a heap of posessions, an big statistical output from the big man... yet the umpires did not give him a vote.

#5
5th worst performance of last 15 seasons:
ALISTAIR NICHOLSON
Melbourne
2/04/2005
Melbourne vs WBD
Melbourne 137, WBD 111
KICKS: 0
MARKS: 0
HANDBALLS: 0
DISPOSALS: 0
GOALS: 0
BEHINDS: 0
HITOUTS: 1
TACKLES: 1
REBOUND_50: 0
INSIDE_50: 0
CLEARANCES: 0
CLANGERS: 3
FREES_FOR: 0
FREES_AGAINST: 3
BROWNLOW_VOTES: 0
CONTESTED_POSESSIONS: 0
UNCONTESTED_POSESSIONS: 0
CONTESTED_MARKS: 0
MARKS_INSIDE_50: 0
ONE_PERCENTERS: 0
GOAL_ASSISTS: 0

This is a terrible performance. No posessions, yet has given away 3 free kicks, which were presumably the 3 clangers. Laid 1 tackle, got 1 hitout. Negative impact for his team.

I'll update tomorrow sometime with #4...

I'd imagine that there'd be the Judd break out game against the Lions in 03 or 04. Might be a Goodes performance, probably a Hird or Voss game.

The Swans Blog · May 20, 2013

Might even be a Cam White performance in the worst of, I know his debut was horrid.

shinboner spiggs · May 20, 2013

Buddy's 13 has gotta be up there for one of the best, whilst I think kosi had a game where he only got the one handball last year

Mr.X · May 20, 2013

Anything from Digby Morell?

Duritz · May 20, 2013

I cannot give away the results until its their time...

Maybe I should've done top 50 like Mike and done 1 per day.

boncer34 · May 20, 2013

I can find 10 better then Lynch. 7 goals? Yawn.

That's because it was a final.

Tom Lynch had better numbers against GWS

Zach Package · May 20, 2013

Carey should be in here somewhere.

Lol... Of course. When I saw it, I remembered it was a final, then had a brain fade and forgot that when posting... Was prepared to go loco against the umpires crap voting, too.

Nick Davis 2005 semi final was brilliant.
Leon Neon in any of the 2002-03 grand finals was absolutely useless and worst on ground by a mile. He didn't get a touch one game and a handball the next one?

So start a thread and list them.

It was against GWS dude... Strength of opposition is taken into account.

Kaiser Powser · May 20, 2013

Carey vs Melbourne in 97?

I think he outscored them himself.

Those Leon games won't be bottom 5 though... Even the guy who has all 0's has just had a zero impact. The bottom five have all had negative impacts.

It not falling into the period of 1999 to current day might make it struggle.

Moloney had a horrible game last year where he didn't register a SINGLE STAT and was subbed off in the third quarter... It was against Geelong I believe...

Oh yeah, forgot about the bit where every team's key forward kicks 10 against GWS

doppleganger · May 20, 2013

You have to be taking the P1ss if you consider that to be the 5th best individual performance of the last 15 years.

Wouldn't even be in top 10 Brisbane Lions performances in that era

Bell Ringer · May 20, 2013

Kouta v the reigning premiers in 2000?

Wasn't that 186, in 2011? And didn't he have the flu?

On my analysis it's the 5th best.
