I think we've had between 12 - 15 in each week so far, so we have room for improvement, but hopefully we can get a few more in across the season and then into next. I think if you can get 15 - 20 contributors each week (or close to) that is a good thread. Ideally, some of them post more than once.....

Spot on TedDougChris !

The interim results are in from the first 5 games and the Roys are on course to reach your target range.

Lead us out Skipper!

Each club has their own posting profile and different expectations.

You’d expect that generally the posting numbers would go down as the season progresses, but that traffic on BigFooty generally would increase with the AFL season starting around 5 weeks ago, when we did the first stocktake.

Average weekly posting numbers after Round 10 (compared to after Round 5)

• Royals - 987 Ave. posts/match (up from 928 in Round 5)
• Bears - 713.8 (up from 597)
• *Bombers - 674.7 (was 675)
• Warriors - 440.6 (down from 486)
• *Demons - 421.1 (down from 444)
• *Hawks - 417.1 (down from 523)
• OOBs - 413.5 (down from 533)
• Roys - 275.3 (down from 303)
• Dragons - 264.5 (down from 292)
• Rats - 227.6 (down from 252)
• Gumbies - 224.7 (down from 249)
• Wonders - 157.2 (up from 135)
• Furies - 148.3 (down from 160)

* Posted in 10 games (others have posted in 9)

Once again you’d expect maybe a small drop-off counter-balanced by increased BigFooty activity generally when compared to the AFL preseason period.

Average poster numbers in S41 after Round 10 (compared to Round 5)
