Are there any 'adjustments' you are going to highlight in that analysis?2017 24.1 average
2018 16.5 average
2019 18.6 average
2020 26.9 average
Others:
Bontempelli best 18.75
Cripps best 12.66
Heeney 14.66
Gawn 14.5
Neale 20.6
Nick Daycare 10.9
Petracca 23.66
Warner 19.33
Butters 10.1
Newcombe 17.8
Holmes 18.0
J Kelly 16.8
Liberatore 16.5
T Green 17.2
Dangerfield 21.1
Walsh 16.9
T Kelly 15.4
Dunkley 13.2
Jezza Cameron 13.6
B Grundy 19.6
Pendlebury 21.5(2nd best 15.6)
Oliver 19.9
Selwood 24.3
J Kennedy(Swans) 20.6
Swan 15.6(only one series applicable)
Cyril 15.8
S Mitchell 20.7
Cotchin 14.6
Fyfe 17.2
T Greene 23.8
J Macrae 16.8
So from all those players I could think of here are the top 16 rated finals series by average player rating across multiple games(2, 3 or 4)
1. Martin 26.9(4 games)
2. Selwood 24.3(2 games)
3. Martin 24.1(3 games)
4. T Greene 23.8(2 games)
5. Petracca 23.7(3 games)
6. Selwood 21.6(2 games)
7. Pendlebury 21.5(3 games)
8. Dangerfield 21.1(2 games)
9. J Kenney(Swans) 20.6(2 games)
10. S Mitchell 20.7(3 games)
11. Neale 20.6(2 games)
12. Oliver 19.9(3 games)
13. Grundy 19.6(2 games)
14. Warner 19.3(3 games)
15. Bontempelli 18.8(4 games)
16. Martin 18.6(3 games)
The order for players who played 3 or more games in a finals series is:
1. Martin 26.9
2. Martin 24.1
3. Petracca 23.7
4. Pendlebury 21.5
5. S Mitchell 20.7
6. Oliver 19.9
7. Warner 19.3
8. Bontempelli 18.8
9. Martin 18.6
10. Holmes 18.0
We can see Pendlebury's 2012 sits pretty high in this table, but it is a fair way off the pace of the top 3 full finals series based on average player ratings. I doubt Pendlebury's average player ratings in the 2010 & 11 finals series would be higher than his 2012 average. You can see that by looking at his stats. There is absolutely nothing in those 2 series to suggest he would have challenged the top 3 rated finals series recorded by Martin, Martin & Petracca.
Interesting you've also excluded the years Martin played in finals outside of 2017 to 2020 (his peak, and his team's peak).
