sorry, but ill need a better source than a graph that a "random" posted on an internet forum. there is no scale to determine the numbers drafted on the y axis, and from looking at it, in 91 or 92 it infers that we had over 60 people drafted to the afl..... (based on one of the horizontal lines being about 8?? and last year we supposedly had 6, which is a bit below the bottom line) where are the numbers from?
Haha fair enough! I tried to make it simple because... well, have you seen some of the posters in here. Good on you for questioning it.
My methods were as follows:
1. Copy data from this table:
http://www.afl.com.au/draft/draft-history2. Open Excel, categorise any draftee where their origin club was an SANFL club
3. Copy all SANFL draftees to new sheet
4. Create Piviot table by Year and Count
5. Plot graph
6. Add trendline
Hopefully this one is better.
cheers for the link, im not in the habit of believing everything that is posted on the net....
im still not sure its accurate, and i dont have time right now to go through it, but i will later if i have time. just as an example, it is showing 2016 as 5 drafted when you claim it is 6. if there are other discrepancies as well it could throw out the overall trend.
that and the obvious outlier of 91 bumping up the start of the graph i still dont think that there is an issue (or its small, not big like you make out
). anyway, looking at the trends, we should have over a dozen drafted this year, and it will all be forgotten anyway
