Please read carefully, where did i say that the application was different? Oh well, I can see its pointless trying to have an actual meaningful converstaion here.lol. ok. so why didn't you apply any of this "imaginary" learning?
I guess the imaginary teacher, didn't teach you that the statistical theory is the same, regardless of application. or didn't you do your imaginary homework that day.
obviously.
thing with these stats are:
last year when we were rolling everyone by shitloads - perrie was injured but kenny was playing.
that is the reason for the large difference between the two.
we werent kicking high scores because kenny was playing because last year he was crap

They are interesting numbers sure, but if you take a look at the rest of the numbers for each player neither of them are doing overly well within the climate they have been playing.
There is no blessing in having less players to choose from it is a limiter.
Last year in 19 games McGregor scored 21.15 Perrie this year has 15.9 in 10 games.
As far as scoring goes that would have them fairly even in form however adelaide has been a far poorer team this year on the scoreboard then last year.
If you want your stats to be meaningful you might look at the link between the number of goal scorers present last year and the number present this year effective forward entry passes and so on.
It is as been reported adelaides efficiency in finishing has fallen off Craig has said this already he is aware of all these things.

a fit kenny is always worthy of a spot in the side, you don't need statistics for that.
At least we can agree on something.

I would be more interested to know our win/loss record when:
1) Kenny has played
2) Perrie has played
3) Both Kenny & Perrie have played.
Need to keep in mind points against are just as relevant, because games these days are played in different conditions against opposition with different game plans. It is too simplistic to look at points for.

This sums it up for me.
Perhaps by the same stats methodology we could conclude its not Sarges fault but Jonathon Griffins, after all he's played all games this year and none last year and our average score for per game has dropped from 103 to 82 pts.
Bring back Clarkey immediatley!

Why didn't Massie get in ? He was in our winning team when we were dominant, ie when the backbone kept us going... ordinary, unspectacular, but we kept winning handsomely
Agree. I have been calling for either Ken or Grffen to play deep in the forward line for a couple of weeks. My point, is all this rubbish in the media ( Ruc stirring the pot) that Kenny is being harshly treated is rubbish.

How are the Saints fairing comparitively from his services?
I think it's fair to say some people on this thread are using stats (mostly out of context) to support their pre-determined theories re their preferred player.
To use overall team scores as a direct correlation between Perrie or McGregor is ridiculous. The crows don't rely on one key forward, rather a system and the reliance on every player contributing.
Don't hide behind useless stats (unless you interpret them correctly) and just come out and say who you prefer.
I hope McGregor plays well today and can kick more than 30m again.

Yes its very interesting how useless statistics are when they dont support your arguement. Funnily the same people that slam others for using statistics are quite happy to drop a few in when it suits.
A few people around here think they know a lot more than they do.
I struggle to take people seriously when they argue football tactics and so on when they have never actually kicked a ball in anger.

Yeah, i think you're right. I originally meant to pose the stats as a question but got dragged into an argument and lost abit of focus. The funny thing is, as you say, certain people are happy to dismiss statistics as rubbish while using them to justify their own views and not be open to anyone else's views. Oh well good on em
FWIW and for the record, I've kicked a few balls in anger
