Match Ratio ?

H_T
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

In the past when the AFL has had an odd number of teams and byes during the season, they used to use "Match Ratio" on the AFL Ladder as one of the columns.

I haven't seen it this year. Just wondering if there is a necessity for it - it doesn't seem so given I haven't heard it mentioned at all.

Do others remember it ?

It's simply a figure or percentage of the wins from games and can be used to decide who is higher. Ie. If both teams are locked on 12 points yet one team has played 5 games and the other team 6 games, the higher place is decided by the superior "match ratio".

    No match ratio for the bye. The AFL ruled it out pre-season. They said it was a pointless (my joke; boom, tish) addition to the stats since every club ends up the same.

    After all, they don't have it in the EPL where "games in hand" are readily acknowledged.

    Pointless for everything but bragging rights mid season.

    I recall when it was initially used, there was a great deal of talk about it.

    The ones that would have needed match ratio the most would have been the ones who understood it the least.

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
