What you do think, is it readable? I wasn't quite happy at the contrast of the current player shading, and it's *a lot* easier to mess about with the background than changing the pages. I have no truck this newfangled CSS and I shan't have it.

I don't see it in Firefox 6.1 but I do in Chrome.

Think I'll stay with Firefox.:rolleyes:

Now its in all browsers - but not the NRL section.

Might have to get more interested in rugby!!

This probably belongs in here, rather than under Stats Questions where I also posted it, so here it is (again)!:- The AFL Historical Statistics site has been updated. (http://stats.afl.com.au/public/home.shtml)

Users should note that it is still not all updated.

For example, "Players Round by Round" has been completed up to the end of 2011 while scoring records still do not show new records from 2010 and 2011.

Hi there, this one comes out of left field somewhat. I'm looking for reliable individual player stats for the 2011 VFL and NEAFL seasons. I've looked at the sportingpulse websites for these leagues but they aren't much chop. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks
 
I've just realised there is an error on the AFL stats site for 2011 TG% overall figures.

http://www.afl.com.au/stats/tabid/73/default.aspx

Instead of yearly overall TOG (correctly) being a percentage of time of ground in relation to total time of games a particular player was involved in, it seems to be in relation to the total time of the season's games.

For example, Cameron Guthrie played two games (74% and 37% TG% respectively), however he is listed at 5% for the season. Similarly Aaron Sandilands is listed as 47% TG% for the season, yet in not one of his matches did he play 47% or less of a total game.
 
I can see the logic though, given it's a season total. A player playing all of every game except one will have lower percentage than a player who played all of one game. When clearly the former has played a far greater part of the season.
 
Yeah but really it has no use at all as a stat, and is not consistent with the other years.

If I read Sandilands had 47% TOG in 2011, I am thinking he is on the field for less than half the time in the games he plays - which is of course false.

Sounds Logical:

A query here might get some answers.

Philosophical question - should "round by round" ladders take into account points which were at the time stripped but later returned. Thinking of St Kilda 1981 when they had two wins taken off them after Round 4 and didn't get them back until Round 18.

To be fair it's probably the only time it has ever happened and in the end the ladders are correct because they did get the points back, but if you compare against newspaper/Footy Records of the time it will show them as not having the points - therefore 'round by round' they didn't have them.

The progressive ladders have had no official status or purpose except for instances where a mid-season draft was determined by progressive ladder placings and in the case of the redraws after round 14 for the sectional matches 1901-07 and for rounds 12-16 in 1943 after eliminating the 11th placed team.

Depictions of historic progressive ladders are in effect recreations. (Percentages are shown in the current format for instance when the method of differentiating teams on equal match points was varied in the first 25 years or so of the competition.)

The fact that St Kilda had their match points re-instated in 1981 only had any real meaning for the final ladder, the only one with official League status. Showing St Kilda on recreated progressive ladders with the forfeited points in place probably gives a better picture of their progress during the season. (Similarly in 1909 St Kilda would have had temporarily 4 match points which they subsequently had to forfeit to Geelong.)

A slightly different case is the 1903 the round 2 match between Carlton and Geelong that was postponed and played in Sydney on the 3rd of August between round 13 and 14. Up till then Carlton and Geelong had each played one fewer match than the other teams. Recreated ladders of the season include that match in round 2 as if it had been played when originally scheduled. Ladders published in the press at the time of course showed Carlton and Geelong as having played one fewer game until the completion of Round 14.
 
Not exactly stats, but I was wondering if there is a good place to find the originating clubs of players (both current and past) as in their local club such as Ballarat, Albury, Traralgon etc. because I am doing a project on zoning and which clubs they would be zoned to if zoning still existed.

Current: Player lists on the club web sites.

Past: The Encyclopedia of AFL Footballers:
Russell Holmesby and Jim Main.

(You'll find a copy in a library or from a 2nd hand bookseller on the internet.)
 
Doesn't really count as stats I guess, but is there any reasonably good resource for H&A medal recipients? That isn't Wikipedia? Specifically recipients of the David Parkin Medal.
 
Is there a site which gives average age/games played for teams selected before the game is actually played?

IIRC superfooty (the Hun) used to do this but they do not appear to any more. I always found this a very useful tool for helping with tips.
 
Probably a silly question, but just wondering if there's a good State of Origin resource, in terms of captains and coaches? Wikipedia has the full list for WA but none of the other sides.
