2008 List vs 2009 List

[Vader]

With our senior list now completely filled, I thought I'd do a quick (statistical) comparison between our list this year and next.

Age
All ages quoted as of 1/1/08 & 1/1/09.

	      2008	2009
Avg Age	      23yr 195d	23yr 66d
Med Age	      23yr 16d	22yr 156d

Median age is the age of our 20th player.

In terms of age brackets, here's the breakdown:

Bracket	      2008	2009
17-19	      10	14
20-22	      9	        8
23-25	      11	8
26-29	      5	        6
30+	      5	        4

Experience
Our 2008 team had a total of 2567 games experience, shared across 29 players.
Our 2009 team has a total of 2405 games experience, shared across 29 players.

The breakdown in terms of number of players/games:

Bracket	      2008	2009
0	      11	11
1-49	      11	14
50-99	      6	        5
100-149	      7	        6
150-200	      2	        1
201-299	      3	        2
300+	      0	        1

So, our team in 2009 will be around 4 months younger than it was in 2008. They're around 6% less experienced, with that loss of experience being spread throughout the spectrum. We now have 25 players on our list (63%) with less than 50 games of experience. However, we have the same number waiting to debut as we did in 2008.

Make of that what you will.

thanks for that. reasonably moderate change only (median age change of 0.5 yrs is illuminating though). as you have stated previously in 2 yrs time though with no macca/edwards/goodwin/burton/shirely/doughty then suddenly our stats will change massively with stevens and johncock iirc being the oldest

Busy morning at work Vader?

Busy morning at work Vader?

It was actually, and the afternoon has been busier. Had all the figures stored in an Excel spreadsheet, so it wasn't hard to put it all together.

Yep we wont have have 1 player over 30 at the start of the 2011 season.

18 6 Patrick Dangerfield, Taylor Walker, Will Young, Tom Lee, Shaun McKernan, Phil Davis, James Moss

now thats an average age of just 22.6

take out the top 3 players and its 21.8, so in reality the next few years are going to be very interesting with potentially Dought,Shirley or Stevens our "veterans"

Tom Lee turns 18 on 2nd January, so I'm wondering what date they used for determining the ages of the players on the list.

Taking days/months into account, our average age is actually 23.10 as of today, 23.18 as of 1/1/09 or 23.34 as of 1/3/09 (start of the season).

If the three musketeers were replaced by 18yo kids, this would drop to 22.03/22.11/22.26.

If all three retired, but no new veterans were elevated (reducing our list from 40 to 38) it becomes: 22.24/22.32/22.48.

All done in excel, no I didn't work hard to calculate this.

my excel must be ****ed because thats how I did it.

I'm trying to find the average age of the squad from 2006 to see if there is much of a difference.

 

[Beber]

thanks for the stats

24.5 or something there abouts, our list is definitely much younger.

 

[Hondo]

Great stats Vader

Try using the YEARFRAC function within Excel to help calculate the ages.

Average ages of our senior list (including veterans, excluding rookies) for those years:
2006: 24.20 (24y 73d)
2007: 24.42 (24y 153d)
2008: 23.62 (23y 198d)
2009: 23.18 (23y 66d)

All ages quoted as of 1st January of that year.

We had the oldest list in the comp in 2006 & 2007, 4th oldest in 2008, middle of the pack in 2009.
