Thought I would post up a few random stats of note based on my desperate attempt to avoid grading papers. Keep in mind these are off the AFL site...not ranked #1 in useability. At the end of Round 2 (I know what a sample size is, and I don't care...just read my favourite book "Lying with... -
Some individual stats
Desperately trying to avoid doing some work, so thought I would spend some time with the horrifically not user-friendly AFL stats page. Here are a few interesting figures that have escaped attention (rankings across the league). Contested Possessions: #8 Sandilands Marks inside 50: #9 Pavlich... -
