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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
