Forwards who improved significantly in 2008.
Format of:
Player, 2007 Average, 2008 average and then general information (breakout year, or had they averaged highly previously?)
Deledio, 77 (97) – breakout
Franklin 79 (97) – breakout
Murphy 69 (89) – had averaged 82 previously, but mainly a breakout
Medhurst 55 (88) – breakout
Burton 64 (84) – had averaged 90, 84, 79, 88 previously
Fevola 71 (83) – had averaged 85 before
Sylvia 63 (83) – breakout
Akermanis 72 (82) – had averaged 85, 90, 90, 80, 93, 86 previously
Hall 68 (80) – had averaged 87, 91 and 91 previously
Some of these players broke out, but others had averaged highly previously but had dropped the year before, making them undervalued. From these stats, maybe a few picks this year will follow this trend including Brad Johnson (averaged 87 in 2008, but has previously averaged close to 100 on 4 occassions, and 97 and 94 during the last 6 years. The fact other older players like aker and hall were able to bounce back may be promising), Scott Lucas, corey jones, and Des Headland (will miss round one though).
The mean (average) average of the players listed about is 68.67, and they improved to an average of 87 between them (increase of 18.33). Whilst i know the spread of value changes every year, but maybe in hindsight a few from this price range will be bolters in 2009 – cloke, monfries, fisher, davey, jones, gamble. Time will tell i suppose.
Wasnt sure which thread to post this, but yeh.
