You said i am stupid, but you dont even understand what is the difference between data, measurement, fact and reasons. Sorry, I am not in a position to educate people up to that level. I think it is the role of the high school if not primary school.
Also i am not here to argue with my forum members. I am here to express my disappointment.
Not sure where I said you were stupid?

If you think you dont mean to offend me, the system allow you to correct your mistake by deleting your agreement /like and I will pretend to think that it is just your innocent mistake. The control is in your hand.
Ohhh... see I didn't say you were stupid, I just agreed that what you were saying was stupid. And no I'm not going to delete my like.
If you're so easily offended then the internet may not be the best place for you.

Oh shit i thumbs down your post what you gonna do about it
 
A sad end to a career. On the banks of the Yarra River, unable to win a kicking contest. Tragic. Farewell JK. You only have yourself to blame though. Such events are what we fans hold in the highest regard and your attitude and failure is unacceptable. Bye bye 👋
Actually its all becoming clear now, this is why we haven't de-listed any other players yet.
Darren Glass is going to organise a torp contest for the players off the Matagurup Bridge the day before trade week starts, bottom 3 get the arse.

If none of you have read the new book Footballistics by the excellent James Coventry, you absolutely should.

This is an excerpt of a chapter on travel and home ground advantage. They use disposals as a proxy for performance, for all players post 1987 who played for teams in one state for their career.

"The results are striking. Players' career trajectories are broadly similar across borderlines until they approach the 200-game mark. Western Australian and Victorian players, for example, follow a virtually identical arc up until that point. But beyond that, the average disposal counts for Western Australian- and Queensland-based players fall off a cliff, while those of their South Australian and Victorian counterparts barely decay at all. Players from New South Wales decline a little later and from a higher level than the Western Australian and Queenslanders. The picture looks much the same if we restrict the comparison only to those who play at least 200 games. The average output of Western Australian and Queensland players declines earlier and more rapidly than that of their counterparts from the other states, particularly Victoria and South Australia.

....

It is possible that the tendency for Western Australian players to have shorter careers, and for their performance to decay more quickly, is just a quirk or statistical anomoly that will eventually work itself out. But with more than 30 seasons of interstate competition now in the AFL/VFL history books, it seems more likely that the late-career woe of Western Australian players is real, and that travel is the probably culprit."
With only 3 WA players playing over 300 games, it’s a very small sample size to then tail off the data with.

Add to that, Pav played midfield through the middle of his career and then key forward so his disposals were dropping when his output was not.

Pav moving from mid to forward isn't a factor.

Because it happens to alot of players in their later years no matter what state.

The sample size over 300 is small but that is the point.

Sample size of output over 200 games tells the story.
