Media Serial Stats: S32 List Assessment and Posting Stats - End of Season Report

Remove this Banner Ad

serial, if you're going to assess the list, look beyond the raw numbers. Increases in posting by Kilroy, Tony Lynn 15 and TheCoach16 are indeed positive. Losing 30 posts a week from Pugsley is also a positive, not a negative. Antonio BlueVein losing interest is a negative. BLUEALLTHRU adding 50 posts per week to an already eye-wateringly high volume is also a negative.

Serial_Tosser couldn't recognise quality if it kicked him in the nuts.

That's fair. Two things though:

1) That applies to commentary as well (positive/negative instead of increase/decrease)
2) You know I'm right
I 100% agree with you on the bombers but what serial_thrilla thinks is good might not be what others think is good. Idc what his opinion is

The world is a better place with Tony Lynn 15 around!
 
serial_thrilla and GWS Goose I’d be very interested to see a collaboration on votes per post given we finally have had a season where a BOG award which has tried to capture opposition thoughts on the quality of posting has actually been completed. I’d be inclined to say that it would be a fantastic complementary measure for selecting and assessing All SFA noms (as are the raw values themselves)

Mount Buller Demons
IN: ImissFrosty (rookie), Bluelegs (rookie), Pickitt (rookie), cats2rise (Roys), Hate (Phoenix), damicky (Furies).
OUT: brucetiki (delisted), boncer34 (Royals), Thetrader15 (delisted), amos (delisted), fancyscum (delisted), ImissFrosty (Furies).

ROOKIES
There were three new rookies for the Demons this season, including the infamous midseason rookie swap. Given the lack of rookies in recent Demon history this was quite the big deal. In good news for the Demons all three rookies were a success for them: Bluelegs (12.9 ppw) was there most weeks, and Pickitt (130 ppw) managed to integrate himself across the league like a virus. ImissFrosty (74.7 ppw) was also highly active for the Demons until he was traded with damicky (115 ppw) during the midseason trade period.
LOSSES
Inactive players brucetiki (S31 0.4 ppw), Thetrader15 (S31 0.6 ppw), amos (S31 0.0 ppw) and fancyscum (S31 0.0 ppw) were delisted in the offseason, and boncer34 (S31 0.6 ppw) moved to the Royals. As mentioned earlier ImissFrosty was traded to the Furies midseason.
GAINS
The Demons successfully nabbed Hate (S31 24.0 ppw) from the Hawks and cats2rise (S31 29.8 ppw) from the Gumbies. Hate (17.3 ppw) maintained similar posting numbers at his new club, but cats2rise (3.1 ppw) seemed to get lost in the noise.
PLAYERS TRENDS
There were increases in posting from Callums_Guns (from 63.5 to 89.4 ppw), cooney (from 44.1 to 67.2 ppw), sausageroll (from 32.9 to 35.6 ppw), Tarkyn_24 (from 29.0 to 47.9 ppw) and sante (from 11.1 to 17.4 ppw) this season - but the incredible thing about the Demons numbers is that even though the overall numbers improved massively, many of their core and existing players reduced their output!

manangatang (from 49.9 to 37.3 ppw), Headless (from 36.8 to 11.2 ppw with a massive hiatus), DemonJim (38.0 to 22.3 ppw), pantskyle (from 33.6 to 18.2 ppw), Proper Gander (from 23.6 to 12.2 ppw), moginie (from 22.1 to 17.6 ppw), Yakker (from 22.1 to 8.3 ppw), Azarole (from 24.9 to 18.7 ppw), DERO (8.9 ppw to 4.9 ppw), jmoo wan (from 8.1 to 4.3 ppw) were all posting less this season. Importantly however, despite the lower numbers they still all showed up most weeks.
TEAM TRENDS
The Demons once again had some fantastic team numbers this season. Overall posting output increased by a whopping 42% from 7,456 to 10,882, their sum of weekly median posts increased from 370 to 701, and they increased their average number of posters each week from 17.06 to a phenomenal 19.88...just short of that magical 20 number.

Total posters increased from 23 to 26. They slightly increased their match thread share from 53.82% to a almost concerningly high 55.76% and maintained their league low reliance on their Top 5 posters, although the Pickitt effect saw it increase from 51.65% to 58.69%. The number of their players contributing more than 2% of their total posts increased from 13 to a league high 14, but curiously there was a reduction of players with >5% of their output from 9 to 7. Once again they only had 2 players with over 10% of their posts - the lowest in the league. The number of Demons with over 5 posts a week increased from 15 to 18, and those with over 10 per week from 13 to a league leading 17 - but those with over 20 posts per week dropped from 12 to 9.

Last season the Demons failed to reach 300 match thread posts on four occasions, yet this season it only happened once (Round 16 vs. the Royals). They also increased the number of rounds from 600+ posts (from 4 to 10) and doubled their 900+ post weeks from 1 to 2.
So another successful season for the Demons. Their recruits were all prolific, and although several of the regulars reduced their posting numbers they still turned up in the match thread every week.
GRADE: A+

The MVP thread rates posters in relation to other posters in their team.
Not a great metric to assess the quality of the content of the list.
What we could do moving forward is provide an additional "team value" score based on how much the thread was enjoyed. (that could also be standised to account for continual low or high score givers)

I can't believe Van_Dyke beat me by a measly three posts.

Yeah I previously ran a similar scoring system but generally ran out of steam chasing voters for votes. I can share my methodology:

Poster allocates between 15 and 25 votes in whatever fashion they deem fit to the opposition, to a maximum of 5 votes per poster. The flexibility on the total allocation meant that if a team was s**t you could allocate the minimum, and if the team was really good you could allocate up to the maximum. Decimals were also encouraged.

s**t, maybe I bring my metrics back next season. 🎉
