    I'm tempted to write down all 18 teams.

    Actually it would be GWS. Cause you aren't counting any of the rookies as they haven't played a game yet.

    I call shenanigans.

    I'd also wager this.

    GWS.

    Cornes 239

    Brogan 174

    Power 282

    Palmer 53

    Junior 251

    Setanta 80

    Ward 60

    Scully 31

    Reid 10

    Davis 18

    Average 119.8 games.

    Bingo.

    That said, assuming all 10 of those play against Sydney, along with 12 kids, the average after that game then drops to 55.45. And drops further as more kids play (and the uncontracted players don't)

    GWS is right. Sorry I have been offline for a few hours.

    A good example of how stats can lie! STriker is the man. Well done

    Cheers

    good example of statistical anomaly

    you have 4 essential washups worth 1000 odd games between them. This is not typical of any other list.

    And it will change pretty much as soon as round 1 is over. because you will be dividing it by 23 obvisouly.

    And by the time Junior suffers from general soft tissue soreness and takes 8 weeks to get over it, that will really reduce the average.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
