Again, you're looking at other teams. That's not relevant, it might work for Richmond playing short (I don't think it will, in the end) but it doesn't work for us.Booney wrote:morell wrote:You're looking at it from a macro level, which is understandable, but if you do that, you have to consider other macro factors too - difficulty of the draw, injuries, form etcBooney wrote:morell wrote:Sometimes the guards let me out.
I found it interesting that Port regularly play with teams below the average for the AFL in terms of height.
You don't find that interesting? I am sorry but I cant do a SWARM update for at least another week.
Not really, there's only one relevant table and that's the premiership table. If any of the 13 sides below Port play a side with above average height then the statistic is useless, it means nothing.
I am saying look at it from a Port only perspective.
Of those performances, which ones did we perform well in and which ones do we perform poorly in?
As an idea, say a KPP is 195cm and a normal player is 185cm, playing one short is only worth about 10cm to the overall team - or one cell on the graph. So there were times throughout the year, GWS and Richmond, where we were playing -3 key position players compared to the average. How did we go in those games? Especially in key position specific metrics such as marks inside 50, contested marks and intercept marks ?
What would be good and I would do it if I had enough time would be to correlate the height of the opposition game v game as well.
Richmond are 3rd, 13 and 6, have lost 3 games by under 1 goal and play one KPP forward.
Adelaide are top, 14 and 4 with a draw and play 3 KPP forwards.
The most crucial stat being one is top one is third, not how tall they are.
Can I ask, no need to answer if you'd rather keep it private, what do you do for a living?
