Eagles Accuracy 2010

[Dutchy]

Dear Spelly

Do you keep accuracy records? Looking at the Eagles scores in 2010 they have been incredibly accurate.

If you do have the stats what is their accuracy record and how does it compare to other teams and other years?

[spell_check]

63.43% currently (170 goals 98 behinds). These clubs achieved a 60%+ accuracy over the entire season:

Norwood 64.11% 1983
Sturt 61.46% 2007
Central 61.35% 2002
Norwood 60.93% 1985
Certral 60.63% 2007
Central 60.50% 2001
South 60.31% 2006

Thanks Spelly, so at this speed they are looking at the 2nd best accuracy ever in the comp.

What was Norwoods final Goals/Points that year?

And what are other teams % this year?

[Ian]

And what are other teams % this year?

North would have to be close to worst at the moment.

[whufc]

Interestingly Central have 3 years of great accuracy in there, probably says alot about where there forwards are taking mark and what areas Central have shots from.

[robranisgod]

And what are other teams % this year?

North would have to be close to worst at the moment.

And in particular note the scoring shots compared to the scores in the two games North and Torrens have had this year.

[Squawk]

As an extension to this, 2010 is consistently being described as a very even season and the ladder shows it is pretty even.
What is the average winning/losing margin in 2010, and how does this compare since say 1997 when Port Power went to the AFL?

This does not mean that 2010 is the best season though - give me the period between 2005 and 2007, when people actually could count on watching a decent match!

Probably two sides to that story.
On one hand, it's good to see South and West getting closer most weeks, and Sturt copped some floggings in 2006 that would have boosted that average.
On the other hand, we get games like the first EA v NW, and NW v WA on the weekend that were only 2-3 goals.
I can enjoy an 8 goal to 6 game if the conditions like they were NW v PA last week, but on fine-ish days it's crap.

Norwood scored 443.248 (2906) in 1983

Norwood's 1983 and 1985 seasons really stand out on that list given the attacking footy and more scoring shots in those days.

Well, I was thinking, if anyone doesn't know how our weathers' been for the past 5 weeks, and looks at our scores, you could just say to them they've been a quagmire from record rains!

Norwood's 1983 and 1985 seasons really stand out on that list given the attacking footy and more scoring shots in those days.

1982-1985 is the highest scoring of any four year period. They all feature in the top 10 accuracy table:

1985 56.17%
2006 55.92%
1983 55.71%
2003 55.59%
2001 55.52%
2007 55.50%
1982 55.42%
1984 55.30%
2000 54.72%
2002 54.71%

So far, 2010 is at 55.79, so you could just imagine how low the scores would be if it didn't make the top 10!

[FlyingHigh]

Yeah, no doubt Spelly, those drier winters 06-08 probably helped the scoring at around this time of year, although those three years had reasonably good early rains.
Interesting that that table encompasses virtually only two eras.
I imagine some of those years during the 70's would be some of the worse for accuracy? Do those figures also include finals? Was it the 1975 elimination final PA v NA that had about 19.50 kicked? Does anyone have any memories of being at this game?

[Ian]

North 46.49%

Take away North's 25.13 against South in Rd 4 and that % would look a whole lot worse that it already does!!

They all include finals. Really, from 1982 onwards, you can see how the accuracy is quite high compared to everything before it. Excluding the late 30s/early 40s and 1973-1981. Yes, it was Port 11.32 to North 8.20 in the 1975 EF.

North 46.49%

Take away North's 25.13 against South in Rd 4 and that % would look a whole lot worse that it already does!!

Then it would be 42.26% without that score. And if current trends continue, that will be the highest score of the year.

[Dutchy]

Thanks Spelly, whats the worst % ever, are North a chance?

No. I haven't worked out the ladders for all the eariler years, but I have for the least accurate year as seen above in the table. The ladder is in here:

viewtopic.php?f=30&t=28589

and you can see that West Torrens had a 35.90% accuracy (98.175) in 1901. That would have to be close if not the worst.

[Dutchy]

Down to 63.32% if my calcs are correct
