Stats questions

[RussellEbertHandball]

Anyone know where I could find injury stats?

Saw an article stating there have been 67 ACL tears in the past 25 years of NBA, with a 10% instance of reinjury... how that would compare to AFL?

Here is a link to the official AFL Doctor's Association 2018 injury report. It has 2017 comparisons as well as in the appendix it has 10 year summary of different injuries. You will have to do a google search for prior years for more specific data by each individual year.

Marcus Bontempelli and Jack Macrae both finished with 22 votes in the Brownlow last night. Is this the highest total of Brownlow votes shared by teammates on the one night?

Yes. Previouis high 19 for Black & Brown at Brisbane in 2009. 17 has happened four times.

During the Brownlow count last night seven players had more votes than Gold Coast (22). Is this the most amount of players to have been awarded more votes than an entire team?

I’m thinking maybe in the early days of Gold Coast and GWS this may have been higher.

Record is 12 for Melbourne in 2013 (16 votes)

Next:
11 GWS 2013 (17)
10 Hawthorn 1928 (2) - one vote awarded per match
7 GWS 2012 (22)
7 Brisbane 2016 (20)
7 Gold Coast 2019 (22)

The other 31 occurrences involve 4 or less players, and all but six are from the one-vote-per-match days.

Where does Nathan Broad's 54 games rank for least by a dual premiership player?

Only equal 123rd.

Richmond's Ernie Taylor completed the 1920-21 double in 17 games, and eight players played in three flags in the space of 33-53 games.

Has a team ever had more scoring shots than their opponent had inside 50s?

Has a team ever had more scoring shots than their opponent had inside 50s?

I know of one from a lot of personal pain

2017 in the pouring rain and wind, Rd 20 showdown Adelaide kicked 18.22 130 to Port's 7.4 46. The Inside 50's were 81 v 31.

AFL Tables - Adelaide v Port Adelaide - Sun, 6-Aug-2017 4:10 PM (4:40 PM) - Match Stats

So Adelaide not only had more scoring shots than Port's inside 50's, the I50 differentials were higher than Port's total score. Port were very lucky not to have lost that by 120~150 pt range. The shitty weather contributed to the crows not kicking straight.

 

[DangerSloane]

Does anyone know where you can get stats for which forward is the target and how often?

Interested in seeing % for guys like Hawkins and B Brown.

 

[The Passenger]

Somehow found myself on the 2005 AFL Draft Wikipedia page and noticed picks 11 to 16.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_AFL_draft

Shaun Higgins, Nathan Jones, Shannon Hurn, Travis Varcoe, Grant Birchall, Richard Douglas.

Six 200-gamers drafted in succession. Has that ever happened elsewhere in the draft?

 

[The Swert]

The 1994 draft goes close with the top five picks all playing 200+ games.

Trivial question.

Richmond have beaten Brisbane the last 14 times. I know that's probably happened before, and it's almost certainly not a record.

The last time the Lions won was in 2009. That means Richmond have gone an entire decade (2010s) undefeated against them. Has that ever happened before (of course it has - probably in the early years when St Kilda, Hawthorn etc were struggling) - but has it happened recently?

I know that Geelong beat Richmond for 10 years straight - from 2007 to 2017 - but that's not a decade. Also Adelaide have never lost to GC - but that started in 2011. I'm purely interested in calendar quirks.

So you want something that's already exceedingly rare like a ten-year winning streak and then limit it by decade intervals and then limit it to recent times.

Doubt there's any.

Going with the specifics you are seeking, it seems this has happened twice before in the league's history. Having a flick through the AFL Record Season Guide, and confirming with AFL Tables, I found:

Collingwood defeated Hawthorn in every game they played against them during the 1930s, a streak of 16 victories. This streak was part of a run of 29 successive victories for Collingwood versus Hawthorn between 1925 and 1941, which constitutes their first 29 games against the Hawks.
Next, Hawthorn themselves managed to defeat St. Kilda during every game they played against them during the 1980s, a streak of 19 victories. Hawthorn also won their last encounter of the 1970s against St. Kilda to make it 20 successive wins all told.

2009 to 2019 is no more a decade than 2007 to 2017 despite the continual reference to decades (and centuries starting in years ending in zero)

The correct decade would be 2001- 2010. On a stats board we should get the basics correct.

This is gonna be a subjective question.

Chris Judd's final eight games were all losses. He failed to win any of his final 11 matches if we include a drawn match against the Bombers in 2015.

Who are the highest profile players to have ended their career with significant losing streaks?

Doug Hawkins is the first to come to mind. He lost his last 13 games at Fitzroy.

Kevin Murray's last 10 games were all losses in 1974.
Gary Hardeman's last 11 games were all losses for Melbourne. He played in two losses to end 1977, and then after three seasons out of football he played in 9 more losses in 1981.
The longest streak I can find for any player with 150 games or more is Graham Campbell of Fitzroy whose final 34 games during 1962-1964 were all losses.

If someone speaks of e.g. "the 1980's", they're referring to the years 1980-89. It's a valid observation IMO.

People regularly refer to decades and centuries finishing at the year ending in 9.

Doesn't matter how often it is referenced it is still incorrect.

 

[worbod]

I think the decades issue is fine either way. It is correct to state that the 1980s are from 1980 to 1989 and yet the ninth decade of the 20th century was indeed from 1981 to 1990, and the 21st century did begin in 2001. John Travolta wasted his time flying his jet through five different time zones on December 31, 1999 so he could celebrate the new millennium five times, but that's another story. It can be interesting to look at stats for a particular decade, such as who has kicked the most goals per decade? With the VFL/AFL having never shut down during either World War, we can always have a full decade's worth of stats. Other interesting stats can come from looking at any ten year period, such as which team has the best winning percentage over ten years? Is it Collingwood 1926-1935, Melbourne 1955-1964, Hawthorn 1982-1991, or somebody else?

Or you could just do what the Astronomers did and rename 1BC as year 0, and then everything lines up perfectly.

What about most wins to end a career?

What about most wins to end a career?

Apart from Lambert, there are another 13 Richmond players sitting on a streak of 12 wins, and eight others on 8-11. Hardwick is an interesting entry in light of this.
