Fascinating stats R.R. I'm amazed at that stat in 1968, that Essendon's relatively narrow margin of 85 points over Collingwood was the biggest win by anybody that season! I know Geelong lost a game to the Doggies that year by 83 points, and finished with a pretty mediocre percentage despite an imposing 15-5 record....indeed just 106.78% actually.

Couple of things, would that year (1968 which also provided a remarkably low scoring GF) be one of very few years in post-war times to have such a low 'Highest margin' of just 85 points, and would Geelong's meek 106.78% be the lowest percentage for any side with a 15-5 record (or for comparison's sake, say a 14-4 or 16-6..with a 10-win differential at the end of a season?

There have been 17 lower 'biggest wins' of the season than 85 points. The lowest is 60 points in 1917 - the semi-final Collingwood 13.17-95 v Sydney/SM 3.17-35. The lowest since 1968 was 79 points in 1973 - Carlton 19.16-130 v Sydney/SM 7.9-51, which is also the last time the biggest win of the year was under 100 points. The other two instances lower than 85 since 1945 were in 1957 - Melbourne 24.14-158 v Fitzroy 10.14-74 and in 1962 - Geelong 19.15-129 v Nth Melbourne 6.14-50.

Geelong's percentage of 106.78% in 1968 is the lowest recorded on a final ladder for a team with a match/win% of 75% or more.
Next lowest is Collingwood's 111.61% in 1932 - m/w% 77.78 (14 wins, 4 losses from 18 matches.)
More recently Nth. Melbourne in 1999 had a m/w% of 77.27% (17 wins, 5 losses) and a percentage of 115.69 on the final ladder.

The lowest percentage in a complete season for a team with a m/w% of 75.0 (15 wins, 5 losses) or more is Collingwood's 107.10% in 1932.

Geelong's percentage for the complete season in 1968 was 120.07% which is the 12th lowest for a complete season by a team with a m/w% of 75 (15 wins, 5 losses) or more.

In 1936 Sydney/SM's m/w% for the complete season was 80.95% (17 wins, 4 losses) with a percentage 116.08% - the only time a team has finished a season with a m/w% over 80 and a percentage under 120.

^ lowest free kick counts on record

tonights game had 15 coming towards the end. probably ended up with 18 or 19 so will make that list. lowest in probably 7 or 8 years.
Click to expand...

Ended with 17. (Cats/Suns and Swans/Bombers matches last round each had 20.)

Would be interesting to see the ratio of tackles to free kicks in the eras when free kick tallies were sometimes over the 100 mark, but I don't think we have the tackle counts going back very far. It is my impression that 30 to 40 years ago nearly every tackle resulted in a free kick, now the play mostly continues. Have a look at the 'most frees' table here: http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/teamshi.html#h12 noting that the figures only are for the first named team - in the round 7, 1978 match where Collingwood received 71 free kicks, Carlton had 47 for a total of 118!)

Where the notion that the game in recent times has become 'over umpired' comes from from can perhaps be mainly put down to shallow and uninformed thinking processes that work on a short term proposition that 'once is always' and 'twice is never'.

May not be enough of a sample but its interesting to note that in the two most recent rounds of AFL and WAFL, the umpires in the WAFL have been giving an average of around 33% more free kicks than their counterparts in the AFL - 40 v 30.
 
After compiling these stats, I perused them and then thought, do they really mean anything significant? Maybe they're just interesting to look at. I thought I'd post them anyway, and if someone else can read something meaningful into them, then so be it. Perhaps one thing is how quickly a team can get itself into a period of sustained success. Carlton took the most matches needed to reach 12 premierships but the fewest needed to reach 14, even though there are only three clubs who have reached this total.

Fascinating stuff Ron, thanks for that. So coaches are 8.5 times more likely to stick with a winning team than a losing team, even though there is only a 10% difference in the stats above when it comes to the next match (I'm theorising that is less than the difference between teams that did make a change).

What would be really interesting is if you could look at how often teams made a change when they won by less than 10 points, versus when they lost by less than 10 points. In those cases, the result is not very 'informative' about how the team is really going. A paper a couple of years ago called "Sticking with What (Barely) Worked" by Lefgren, Platt and Price looked at this outcome bias in the context of changing team strategy, and said it was a sign of crap thinking. Teams would even make more changes when their loss was small and they would have expected to lose by more.

Could be a research paper in this ... and a lesson for coaches.

Fascinating stuff Ron, thanks for that. So coaches are 8.5 times more likely to stick with a winning team than a losing team, even though there is only a 10% difference in the stats above when it comes to the next match (I'm theorising that is less than the difference between teams that did make a change).

What would be really interesting is if you could look at how often teams made a change when they won by less than 10 points, versus when they lost by less than 10 points. In those cases, the result is not very 'informative' about how the team is really going. A paper a couple of years ago called "Sticking with What (Barely) Worked" by Lefgren, Platt and Price looked at this outcome bias in the context of changing team strategy, and said it was a sign of crap thinking. Teams would even make more changes when their loss was small and they would have expected to lose by more.

Could be a research paper in this ... and a lesson for coaches.

Bearing in mind of course that many changes (I'd estimate at least half) are forced through injury or some other reason, and that coaches would like to leave the side unchanged more often:

Previous|M|W|L|D|Win %
\won by 10+|747|442|298|7|59.64
\won by < 10|104|60|43|1|58.17
\lost by < 10|24|11|13|-|45.83
\lost by 10+|77|40|37|-|51.95
Was doing some related stats and noticed Sheedy has only presided over 12 unchanged teams - fewer than some current coaches who've coached far fewer games (Craig, Clarkson, Worsfold).

NB There was a minor error in the table concerning results after a loss - University won their only game in this situation.
 
Mark Neeld was sacked after 33 games coached for the Demons.

The previous Melbourne coach sacked which was Dean Bailey had his final game as coach conceding a score of 233.

That opponent was Geelong and Geelong was Mark Neeld's first club at AFL level.
