The most average player ever

[Fred Ziffel]

Clive Waterhouse

98 of his games were above average plus 178 goals disqualifies him straight off the bat.

Replace Willsy with Phil Gilbert.....may need to push some of Phil's games up to average though.

By pressing a few buttons on my stats database, and applying a slight bit of discretion and humour in a "flawed" statistical analysis

Games: 12581 VFL/AFL players in history to date, so the median (#6290) has only played 19 games, and the mean (player #4069) sits at 48 games.
Goals: 12581 players. the median (#6290) only kicked 4 goals, the mean (#2788) sits at 29 goals (0.6 goals per game over 48 games)
Disposals (5268 players only since first recorded in 1958 so a bit harder). the median (#2634) sits at 416 disposals, and the mean (#1726) sits at 1031 disposals (21.5 disposals / game if spread over 48 games)

Taking just those 3 parameters and applying a slight bit of discretion in my flawed statistical analysis, the most average player I could find using the mean has been

with 50 games (rank #4031) with 1077 disposals (that's 21.5 disposals per game) and 28 goals (that's 0.6 goals per game)

Jaeger O'Meara (GC/HW)

Well, that's just eliminated Phil Gilbert.

Wow.

Not at all.

Not at all.

Yeah I thought average was a bit generous for him too.

Slightly less scrubby than the rest of the scrubs in the scrubbiest team in the history of the comp is a better description.

Agree, take out his 1 enhanced year and he was just a plodder.

This man would have been worshiped in ancient Egypt as a bird-faced-man-god.

I'm pretty sure champion data did this via stats at some stage during the year and the player has already been mentioned above - Cam Guthrie.

Edit: After a quick google it seems it was just a poster on reddit that crunched the stats.

I get all my info from Reddit, it is superior.

230 odd games but he was vanilla.

Average kick of the footy, very average pace and this rendered him a one-dimensional inside mid that couldn’t play anywhere else.

Very average captain too, for obvious reasons.

Whereas nowadays we’re only entitled to worship him as a bird-faced-person-god.

Jason Daniels St Kilda and Sydney big heart couldn’t kick. Very average

I assume that is the less performed brother? One of them was actually ok. I can't remember if it were Troy or Justin.

Justin. Here's a refresher:



It's possible you subconsciously forgot him to prevent further trauma

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Nick Ries - couldn’t kick, couldn’t handball, was as slow as a snail

Harry Miller - he broke the mould in regards to indigenous footballers
