Stats observations

[red+black]

No idea why I'm pumping out random stats lately, I promise it will soon stop. Hope some have been interesting.

Last Player to Retire That Played at These Grounds:
2005 - Princes Park (1277 games from 1897) - Eddie Betts in 20?? (CA, AD)
2000 - WACA (72 games from 1987) - Matthew Pavlich in 2016 (FR)
1999 - Victoria Park (880 games from 1897) - Heath Scotland in 2014 (CO, CA)
1999 - Waverley Park (732 games from 1970) - Brent Harvey in 2016 (NM)
1997 - Western Oval (665 games from 1925) - Michael Gardiner in 2011 (WC, SK)
1992 - Carrara* (61 games from 1987) - Michael Voss in 2006 (BR)
1992 - Moorabbin Oval (254 games from 1965) - Robert Harvey in 2008 (SK)
1991 - Windy Hill (629 games from 1922) - Robert Harvey in 2008 (SK)
1985 - Arden St (529 games from 1925) - Darren Crocker in 1998 (NM)
1984 - Junction Oval (734 games from 1897) - Tony Lockett in 2002 (SK, SY)
1981 - Lake Oval (704 games from 1897) - Dennis Carroll in 1993 (SM, SY)
1973 - Glenferrie Oval (443 games from 1925) - Michael Tuck in 1991 (HW)
1966 - Brunswick St (612 games from 1897) - Barry Breen in 1982 (SK)
1964 - Punt Rd (544 games from 1908) - David Parkin in 1974 (HW)

It's possible a couple may not be correct as I have primarily based this on the last few games played at each ground.

Adam Goodes debuted in 1999 but only played Collingwood at the SCG that year. By 2000, Collingwood had moved to the MCG.

Robert Harvey did eventually play at Carrara but not against the Bears during 1987-1992.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

R.e the original Carrara, weren't there games there in both 2007 and 2009?

R.e the original Carrara, weren't there games there in both 2007 and 2009?

Yeah but I only included the Bears time at Carrara, hence the time frame 1987-1992.

 

[stemline]

For stats purposes, isn't Carrara still current, it just has a sponsors name now? Is there a reason for having an 'original' Carrara for statistic purposes? I've just combined it all as Carrara in any stats I keep. Should I not?

yeah, same ground. Don't get confused by what I did above.

Here are the list of all games played at Carrara: 1987-1992 then 2006-2009 then 2011-2018

In 2003, Goodes and Buckley were joint winners of the Brownlow (along with Ricciuto), despite both being voted BOG only twice in the season.

In comparison, the last three Brownlow medalists had 11 (Martin) and 9 (Dangerfield, Fyfe) BOG games.

Was there a significant difference in terms of games won between goodes and Buckley and Martin and Dangerfield?

Boomer played at Waverly.

Boomer played at Waverly.

yep, you're right, although Goodes played there later than Boomer did. I will update the list.

Last Players to retire having played State of Origin:

VIC - Brent Harvey in 2016
SA - Tyson Edwards in 2010
WA - Peter Bell in 2008

 

[Engimal v3]

Was there a significant difference in terms of games won between goodes and Buckley and Martin and Dangerfield?

Good question.

Goodes' Swans won 14 games while Buckley's Collingwood won 15. Dangerfield's Cats won 17 and Martin's Tigers won 15.

In recent times a 13 year time difference has produced mixed results for wooden spooners.

In 2002 Carlton were wooden spooners. 13 years later in 2015 they again finished as the wooden spooner.
In 2003 Western Bulldogs were wooden spooners. 13 years later in 2016 they won a premiership.
In 2004 Richmond were wooden spooners. 13 years later in 2017 they won a premiership.
In 2005 Carlton were wooden spooners. 13 years later in 2018 they again finished as the wooden spooner.
In 2006 Carlton were wooden spooners. 13 years later in 2019, what will they achieve?

Tim Taranto has kicked 0.1.1 in ten matches this year, including in each of his past three matches. I wonder where this stacks up in terms of the most 0.1.1 returns for a player in a single season.

 

[red+black]

Worst late season falls to miss finals:

2018 - Port Adelaide, 4th with 4 rounds to go
2002 - Geelong, 5th with 3 rounds to go
1994 - Richmond, 4th with 4 rounds to go
1966 - Richmond, 1st with 4 rounds to go (final 4)
1954 - Essendon, 2nd with 2 rounds to go (final 4)

Sydney will now play their 15th finals series in 16 years, meaning of course they have missed only one series during that time-frame. I was curious to see what each team's best streak was in this regard. I have not included GWS as they do not have a long enough history.

club | best sequence | seasons | season missed | premierships during this time
\Adelaide|8 out of 9|2001-2009|2004|0
\Brisbane Lions|7 out of 8|1997-2004|1998|3

Brisbane can be given a 9 out of 10 streak from 1995 to 2004 if Brisbane Bears history is considered
Fitzroy actually played 9 consecutive finals series during their streak
Melbourne actually played 11 consecutive finals series during their streak

Looks like the Hawthorn vs Richmond finals duck will finally be broken.

Probably. Brisbane upsetting West Coast tomorrow is not out of the question, so there's some chance the Eagles could end up fourth.
