Media Serial Stats: S33 List Assessment and Posting Stats - End of Season Report

[serial_thrilla]

​

​

(Season 32 Numbers HERE)
​

IN: MC Bad Genius (Royals), SunsphereParker (rookie), Jack The Godfather (returning), Le Grille (returning), Krazy Kris (returning).​

OUT: SM (Wonders), NinjaSwan (Wonders), andleanback (delisted).​

ROOKIES
Just the one rookie for the Phoenix this season, and SunsphereParker (0.0 ppw) failed to post in a match thread.

GAINS
MC Bad Genius joined the Phoenix for one season en route to the formation of the Old Boys, and his 34.2 ppw was a solid effort - despite disappearing after Round 11 once the expansion bid was approved. Jack The Godfather (10.2 ppw) was steady, as were late-season additions Krazy Kris (2.0 ppw) and Le Grille (12.4 ppw)

LOSSES
The exit of club mainstays SM (43.7 ppw in S32) and NinjaSwan (23.3 ppw in S32) was always going to hurt given the already fragile state of their list.

TEAM TRENDS​

• Total MTP: 5,948 4,879, 12th (18%)​
• Sum of weekly median posts: 330 247, 11th (25%)​
• Match thread participants per week: 13.75 13.24, 12th (4%)​
• Total match thread participants: 21 19, 12th ()​
• Match thread share: 42.99% 41.95%, 12th ()​
• Top 5 participant reliance: 60.98% 65.67%, 11th ()​
• Participants with >5% of MTP: 9 7, 6th ()​
• Participants with 10+ ppw: 11 9, 11th ()​
• Participants with 40+ ppw: 6 1, 11th ()​
• Weeks with 300+ MTP: 11 9, 10th ()​

THE CORE
With SM and NinjaSwan out the door and no rookies of note it was up to the existing Phoenix player base to keep their match threads ticking over. It appears that things had grown stale down at East Side though, with big reductions in output from eth-dog (from 52.8 to 25.0 ppw), Agent93 (from 45.3 to 33.7 ppw), akkaps (from 27.6 to 6.2 ppw), Itsmyshow (from 19.4 to 8.4 ppw) and por_please_ya (from 41.0 to 33.2 ppw) - leaving it up to Chipmunk (from 44.0 to 43.2 ppw), MannumPower (from 47.6 to 39.0 ppw) and thewizardmelon (from 20.9 to 38.4 ppw) to shoulder the load.

The downward trend following the peak of Season 30 for the Phoenix continues. The loss of two key players and the reduction in output from their core was not replaced by a one season stopover player. More rookies are needed at this club more than any other after a rather dry spell. Rumours of a couple of key signings in addition to some fresh blood is essential to arrest the decline. Perhaps a rebrand can fix this mess?

GRADE: D​

yikes thats like our premiership hangover season minus the premiership hangover

 

[ImissFrosty]

wait how is that only a D????????? Surely that's the closest thing we have to an F? Down 1000 total posts and last in nearly every measure??? Very very generous to a rebuilding team without any rookies lol

The furies almost out posted their entire season in one match thread

except i don't think they have. this is purely numbers yeah??

embarrassing

Not sure of the methodology but bear in mind we got a C last season, so a one grade reduction seems entirely fair.

for an entire 1000 posts lower and last in nearly every metric?? to get an F you must only have about 10 posts each week then.

(Season 32 Numbers HERE)
​

IN: omgfridge (Gumbies), SarahSmiles (Swamprats), Ligma (rookie), weltschmerz (rookie), Memphis (rookie).

OUT: ShaunDuggan (Swamprats), MC Bad Genius (Phoenix), Noobz0r (delisted), Danger In Texas (delisted), Dancing Potato (delisted).

ROOKIES
There were three new rookies at Gold City this season, with the highly rated Ligma (24.9 posts per week) the stand out as she made a name for herself across the league. Joining her was weltschmerz (7.5 ppw) and Memphis (3.6 ppw), who were slower burns, but will as fresh blood will be critical to the Royal's future.

GAINS
Whilst the acquisition of omgfridge (51.5 ppw) was massive for the Royals, surely there must be some disappointment at what they got out of the highly regarded SarahSmiles (5.3 ppw). With rumours of both leaving next season questions must be asked about the club culture.

LOSSES
The only loss of significance over the off-season was that of MC Bad Genius (55.4 ppw in S32).

TEAM TRENDS​

• Total MTP: 8,988 6,582, 9th (27%)​
• Sum of weekly median posts: 479 295, 10th (38%)​
• Match thread participants per week: 13.82 17.94, 3rd (30%)​
• Total match thread participants: 25 22, 8th ()​
• Match thread share: 53.93% 47.17%, 10th ()​
• Top 5 participant reliance: 63.30% 51.40%,1st ()​
• Participants with >5% of MTP: 8 9, 3rd ()​
• Participants with 10+ ppw: 11 11, 7th (-)​
• Participants with 40+ ppw: 6 2, 10th ()​
• Weeks with 300+ MTP: 15 9, 10th ()​

THE CORE
Whilst (now former) skipper PMBangers must have been happy with the level of engagement he got from his squad with such a high number of participants per week, there was a clear reduction in activity from their big name players. krakouers (86.8 to 36.9 ppw), PMBangers (83.8 to 26.7 ppw), The Filth Wizard (66.4 to 38.3 ppw), Marlowe (63.3 to 18.1 ppw), GreyCrow (49.4 to 29.5 ppw), CakeEater (36.9 to 25.4 ppw), spookism (30.3 to 15.8 ppw) and Smartys Power (20.8 to 3.4 ppw) all were much quieter this season, as the Royals continued their trend of only being up and about when their team is high up the Sweet ladder. nahnah (21.3 to 42.8 ppw) and Ulahoopski (2.4 to 29.3 ppw) were the only Royals to revel in their on-field mediocrity.

Overall it's not panic stations given the number of Royals showing up each week, but whatever leadership group forms in the absence of PMBangers will have their work cut out reinvigorating this squad and livening up their match threads.​

GRADE: C-

Still one of my best posting seasons.

They're all the best, Marlowe.

 

[nahnah]

Has to keep the magical F grade purely for the Bombers or then there is no way of separating them from the rest of the field

 

[Chipmunk]

Perhaps a rebrand ​

 

[Marlowe]

They're all the best, Marlowe.

 

[ImissFrosty]

tbh the Warriors could deserve an F, but if neither do then wtf is serial_thrilla doing?

 

[serial_thrilla]

It's Zoops time to shine. West Side Phoenix will be joining us in Season 34'

 

[Headless]

Could help us fix the ol' odd number of teams issue!

But I thought the Koalas was the solution?

The Bombers will also fold.
