Starting the stats thread for this year. Some resources below if you want to contribute:
If you use the programming language "R", the package "fitzRoy" is really good for data sourcing and interfaces with the "fryzigg" API which is easily the best source of AFL data you can find publicly for free.
If anyone has a request for an interesting stat they would like to know requests are also welcome!
Goalless Quarters
My first statistical deep-dive of the year is on the Hinkley trademark goalless quarters. Since the 2015 season, which most consider to be the inception of the HinkleyBall mode of football, Port has had a total of 29 goalless quarters. This puts us having the ninth most in competition since this point in time. Carlton has had the most with 49 and Geelong have had the least with 18.
Last year many people noted that we had a significant amount of goalless quarters for a minor premier. Last year we had 5 goalless quarters (anecdotally I thought it was more...), which ranks us as having the equal second most goalless quarters for a top ranked team at the end of the minor round for seasons after 1980 (in the early 1900s teams had way more goalless quarters) with West Coast having the most with 6 in 2006. The least is 1 goalless quarter shared by 20 different teams (including the Port 2004 side). No team has ever gone an entire season without a goalless quarter.
Note that we played less games last year than previous seasons, so the 5 looks a bit better than it is.
Since 2015, we have had 8 goalless 1st quarters, 6 goalless second quarters, 3 goalless third quarters and 12(!) goalless last quarters. Interesting that over a third of them occur in the last quarter.
When we have a goalless quarter our win rate is only 22% which is significantly below our overall win rate since 2015 of 52%.
