Weird & Quirky Stats

[Chrispiesssss]

It’s the bye round, and I’m not sure how to keep occupied with Collingwood not playing this week. So here’s an interesting stat:


We have 3 players in the top 10. However, our next best (surprisingly) is Sidebottom at 44.

Please entertain me with weird & quirky stats.

Here’s a really quirky one, we are equal 3rd for free kicks

Shane Kerrison scored first for us in the 1990 Grand Final.

That’s odd. I feel like we don’t get many. Hahah

They must just read chicken guts to come up with the ratings if Sidearse is 44...would be just below Pendooblberry in real life.

This is very well known but it is my favourite stat at the moment. WHE is the only player who has played every game for their team in 2018 to have kicked a goal in every game.

Interestingly, he’s kicked a goal in his past 16 games in a row. However, Josh Kennedy holds the record for the past 50 games.

Against Melbourne, Grundy passed Didak in career tackles for Collingwood... in 124 less games. Not bad for a ruckman.

Blair & Daisy have both played 157 games for the club and both kicked 121 goals for Collingwood. Happy for that one to remain as is for eternity.

We’re first for free kick differential. Although every second person on here thinks we’re closer to 18th and never get the rub of the green...

Who has the most tackles as a Collingwood player?

Need to give Blair another game then.
Both Premiership heroes, but one is not a Collingwood man.

In the past four years, the AFL media holds the world record for using the phrase "American Pie" with Don McLean coming a distant second.

Not sure how far back they have data for tackles, but Pendles is #1, about 500 ahead of Swanny

It's 15 games in a row for Hoskin-Elliott. Josh J. Kennedy will now be up to 51 consecutive games where he's kicked at least one goal.

We do get free kicks. That being said, how many free kicks have we gotten that resulted as a shot on goal compared to other teams?

Amazing that Blair is in the top five Collingwood players for tackles for all time. More tackles than Burns and Buckley, who both played about 100 more games than Blair.

Yeah, I find that pretty interesting given the amount of sh** the little man cops around here! No doubt tackle numbers today are far higher than they were back when Burns and Buckley played, which does help Blair's cause, but it's still a significant effort.

Thats quite an amazing bit of information.

Some nuffie on the main board was spewing bile r.e the fact Pendlebury is a complete receiver (...wut?).

Like, its all well & good to have an opinion - but when its backed up by utter garbage, it isn't worth a pinch of shit.

He averages 4.93 tackles per game (6.18 this year), which clearly indicates he is prepared to "get his hands dirty"!

Jack Crisp since he’s come to us has played every single game.

Interestingly, he’s kicked a goal in his past 16 games in a row. However, Josh Kennedy holds the record for the past 50 games.

Peter McKenna holds the all time record of 121 consecutive games kicking at least a goal in every match.

All depends where they're given

And he’s a real good tackler.
Doesn’t miss.

Not to detract from Blair, but his tackles don’t always stick.

I find Scott gets you good! But it’s graceful.
