Media S26 List Assessment and Posting Stats

[Ant Bear]

Time for the biannual assessment of each team's posting performance. This is the 4th season that this has been conducted, using the same formula each season to assess the teams. See last season HERE

The data has been collected throughout the season, and compiled into a series of ranking tables, with a secret formula then applied to each table to calculate every teams score. When all teams are done (alphabetically), the final rankings will be released.

This should be completed by game time on Sunday.

Obviously you must believe quality doesn’t kick in to the formula then.

First up are the Baghdad Bombers, who have sadly had a massive fall under KohPhi, from being ranked 3rd overall 2 seasons ago, to 8th last seaon and look like regressing further this season. The main problem plaguing the Bombers is posting numbers, and whilst their LG is aware of the problem, and took some steps to address the issue with the recruitment of Cheval, Argus Tuft, akkaps and _Cayz_ this season, they still ranked last for the number of posters who appeared at any stage throughout the season with 18, and last for list involvement at 67%. In fact, it's hard to find a positive, with the club in the bottom half in every category.

Their total posts dropped by almost 0% from S25, from 7338 to 5461, despite the extra game, with their Three Amigos Tony Lynn 15, TheCoach16 and KohPhi all recording significant drops. Their recruits all delivered decent enough numbers, but overall, the Bombers need reinvigorating.

NEED: Recruitment drive. A Bears-style rookie influx will allow them to clear out the last remnants of HaroLad's duds, and bring some excitement to their list. Maybe it is also time for the loyal deputy Tony Lynn 15 to take the reins.

RANKING: 9-12

I've long said this but it's never been more plainly true. LicoriceAllsorts should be Captain of the Bombers.

Can they handle the flavour?

The Coney Island Warriors are another team on the snakes. Stone motherless last for total posts, recording a 25% drop from S25, the Warriors rely far too heavily upon Wooshette, and when she isn't in control, as happened in S24, the bees flock to a different honeypot. Perhaps of greatest concern was the demise of their spiritual leader Frankston Rover, which, coupled with the decline in posting of BigJoeD_, sunk the Warriors into irrelevant territory. The main posting positives were the acquirement of pantskyle, and the re-emergence of candiehappy, as well as the emergence of TheInjuryFactory, but it's hard to see a phoenix in the Warrior ashes.

The Warriors only strength was list involvement, ranking 8th with 76% of their list appearing at some stage. Otherwise, they were a bottom 4 team in every category, and only recorded 3 match thread wins, with the round 5 defeat of the Wonders their best posting performance of the season.

NEEDS: Investment; Like the local RSL, the Warriors are a club that is attractive to its own, but shunned by others. They need someone to step forth and take ownership, as Wooshette can't be the glue forever. Freofalcon, I'm looking at you...

RANKING: Bottom 2

@TheInjuryFactory, absolute gun.

The Dragons FFC, despite a rough trot with the media, performed reasonably well, and crept up the rankings in S25. They raised their posting numbers from 4793 in 16 games in S25, to 7584 in 17 this season, and much of this can be attributed to the inclusion of the maligned Wayne's-World, who was the highest poster in the comp. They also recorded the 4th highest number of match thread wins, including the only regular season defeat inflicted on the Swamprats in many seasons. The decline in interest of their veteran posters like cammo6556 and @knifey spooney is cause for concern, and they struggle to get their rookies interested.

The Dragons struggled with poster numbers in S26. They ranked last for average posters/week, at 10.65, and equal last with the Bombers for the number of posters who appeared at any stage throughout the season with 18. This meant that they had a high number of inactives, and Hatchy1992 has scope for a list cleanout to bring in fresh concepts.

NEEDS: Spread the load. Too much is left to too few, with WFL and Wayne's-World shouldering most of the load. PhenomenalV1, VSTone, xenxen and Hatchy had consistent seasons, but must strive to bring their team-mates into the threads more.

RANKING: 6-10th

 

[Sab22]

Wayne's-World

Dude, you literally had 2000+ more posts than me.. and averaged like 100+ posts per week. What the actual ****, it really is quantity over quality for you

I enjoyed some fun banter with LA a couple of seasons ago.

Jokes on you for knowing who their co-captains are.

I’ll take a stab and suggest P4L.


Over half the Dragons posts came from two players. That is insanely skewed.

Okey tends not to like people with more premierships than him...

I’d loathe to be the bloke that came second.
