Re: Post your stats questions here

With Sandilands up against Pyke/White this weekend, speculation is that he could accumulate 50+ hit outs. Does anyone know what the record for hit outs is in a single game by an individual player? I have searched but not found the answer, I know that Sandilands holds the record between 1987 to 2010 (45 vs Richmond last season) however I haven't been able to find the all time individual record.

Champion Data's "Fantasy Freako" newsletter today mentioned that only one player has ever accumulated more than 50 hit outs per game however they didn't mention who it was, how many hit outs he got, against whom and when.

Cheers.

Jolly had 53 in R12 last year. Matthew Burton was credited with 54 in R10, 1998, although that was before CD's time.

Yep you're right, Jolly had 53 against Collingwood Round 12 last season, cheers.
I'll take Burton's 54 as the record on account of the paucity of proper data prior to the last couple of decades.

Re: Post your stats questions here

148 marks from geelong tonight. where does that rank??

i don't exactly sit through and check the stats every week but that's the highest i can ever recall seeing....
 
Re: Post your stats questions here

What are the greatest increases & decreases in percentage from one week to another?

Obviously large changes would occur early in the season; the largest I could find was from 1991. Melbourne that year was given a 14.15-99 to 2.8-20 drubbing by the West Coast Eagles at Subiaco Oval in Round 1, which resulted in a dismal percentage of 20.20 at the end of the round. In an Easter Saturday game in Round 2 against Fitzroy at Princes Park, Melbourne bounced back, thrashing the Lions by 131 points, 27.18-180 to 6.13-49. The Demons' percentage increased to 135.13 in one week.

Would North's percentage of 79.5% be the lowest for any side on 6-6 before? Quite amazing really. Indeed this year most sub sides below 100% are actually below 90%, i reckon the ones above 100% will be certainties for the top 8.

Lower on 6-6 from 12 matches.

1919 St Kilda 69.75%
1927 St Kilda 77.00%
2006 Richmond 79.37%

2010 Nth Melbourne 79.48%

Re: Post your stats questions here

I was browsing footystats earlier today and I came across a page that listed how many players used by each club this year and how many debuts they've given out. However, I can't seem to find that page anymore.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Re: Post your stats questions here

Which current player has the best win ratio and which retired player has the best win ratio?

You might want to specify a minimum qualifying period (no of games) for a player to be considered, or else some smart chap will tell you the names of a couple of thousand players who have a 100% win ratio from playing only 1 game of football.

Re: Post your stats questions here

Travis Varcoe, 65-58-7-0 (89.23%) is the current and all-time leader for players with 50+ games.

Second is Carlton's Les Beck, 60-53-7-0 (88.33%). A loss in any of his next three games would put Varcoe below Beck.
 
Re: Post your stats questions here

Good to see Travis had advanced his personal W/L record to an amazing 66 games 59 wins and just 7 losses!

On another note, we had the unique situation in Rd 2 where Melbourne had the paradox of rising 4 places up the ladder despite a loss in Rd 2 this year.

In a similar sort of thing, i reckon a side winning 4 in a row and rising just one place from so low on the ladder (Richmond) is also quite unique. Given certainly in the 16-team comp the usual bunching of sides down that end of the ladder, you'd think a 4-game winning streak would propel a side a lot further up the table than one place. I don't know whether there is any way to quantify this, but certainly this year looks likely to furnish no side winning fewer than 4 games. Perhaps the compromised draft meant that tanking wasn't an issue?

Suffice to say though if the Tigers manage a 5th win in a row, they should overtake several sides marooned on 5 wins at the minute.

I do know back in 1972 Geelong started that year 0-10 before embarking on a bit of a mid-season revival, winning 4 of 5 games including a thrashing of the Tigers and moving from 12th to 10th place, as that year saw North win just one game and South merely two. Geelong with a 7-15 record were 10th at seasons end. The Dogs in 1980 also went from a 0-11 start under Royce Hart's coaching to win their next three, but only rising to 11th also.

Nice work. Looking at it from a 'ladder position' perspective, I was wondering the all time worst percentage for clubs finishing on-or-just-below the median spot on the ladder (9th in post-97 era, 7th for most of VFL era).

It looks like the 1927 St Kilda side are still the grand champions that North Melbourne have to knock off. That side finished 7th in a 12-team comp at the end of the year (8:10) with a meagre 75.3%. They had a pretty sizeable comp points gap on the 8th side (who, inevitably, had vastly better percentage than them), as well! Average win: 9 points, average loss: 46 points. That side really was something. There would be plenty of teams in history whose round 1 win was the biggest they recorded for the year, either because they handed out a frightful pasting in round 1, or they barely won another game all year. In St Kilda 1927's case, their round 1 victory was by 20 points and it was never bettered in the extra 7 wins they had that year!

The 1919 St Kilda side sadly failed to ever get up to 5th (in a 9 team comp) while their % was dire. (Indeed, they finished 7th out of 9, with a W:L record of 7:9; no mean feat.) The 2006 Richmond side galloped home to reach 9th (derr) but with a disappointingly high percentage of 86.1.

So to take that particular obscure record from 1927 St K, North will have to stay 9th (which may be the easy part), but cop some real canings along with narrow victories to drop down another 6%. That's the hard part.
 
Re: Post your stats questions here

When was the last time a Victorian team beat all interstate teams in the one season?

2009 - Collingwood, Geelong, St.Kilda
2008 - Geelong, Hawthorn, Western Bulldogs
2007 - Geelong
2000 - Carlton, Essendon, North Melbourne
1999 - North Melbourne, Western Bulldogs
1998 - Melbourne, North Melbourne

It's become more common since the non-Victorian sides ceased contesting the premiership every year.
