Hi All,

I have had a look at the stats for this years list in terms of age and games players across all teams. I have attached a file but who knows if that will work. 

A few observations from what I found. 

  • We match up very closely with the dogs on average games, average age, and the spread of the experience across the group. They have one more who has played over 200 games and we have one more who has played between 150 and 200. 
  • Gold coast are actually just older than us (whole list) and have more experience.
  • We match up almost exactly with Collingwood for age but they average 10 games or more extra experience. 
  • Of the teams above us only GWS has a younger primary list and only Hawthorn has a younger entire list (including rookies)
  • Only the Lions have a more inexperienced list than us based on games played. 
  • WC have far and away the most players between 100 and 150 games at 13. Hawthorn and Freo are next with 7. We are still a few years off this but it seems to be important to success. 
  • North are far and away the most experienced team and the oldest although Freo are just behind in age. Are they the great under achiever?
  • Hawthorn are actually below average in age, although along with Freo are the only two to get close to the average games played by North. Does this show Hawthorn have a nucleus with masses of experience and lots of players without much at all? Probably. This wont look good if the experience all retire in a hurry. 
  • Essendon are surprisingly old, even without the tops ups and with the banned players included in the calculations. So much for their supporters saying how they have a great group of youngsters coming through.

You can get all this info off various websites and using entire lists is very limiting as is evidenced by the inclusion of all the Hawthorn rookies dragging down their average age. If the file attached (which it wouldn't in the old style forum) I have built it so you can put in your best 22, or the 22 named and see how the age and experience lines up across each line of the ground for each team. This is more useful as it is far more realistic to how the teams line up. If it doesn't upload, which I am confident it wont, and you want to have a play just PM me you email address. 

Apologies for those of you bored by stats, of which I am sure there are many.

File doesn't load for me.  I think a much better analysis is either the "best 22" or "selected 22".  I built an excel spreadsheet for this quite a few years ago now but couldn't be bothered updating the information - very time consuming.  Where did you get your info or alternatively can you send me the info?

I have built the spreadsheet to do what you say you did a few years ago. I got the raw info of the teams websites. 

Happy to send it through just PM me you email address.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
