Warning: This thread contains useless & somewhat obvious data and is for a trivial reference only.
Been wondering for some time now how clubs compare on the nitty gitty, as in going out and winning as much games as possible. The base enjoyment factor for their supporters if you will. How many times do sides go out on the field and come back with a win.
Stripping away all the reasons and merely concentrating on win/loss, what sides have been value for money to support over the last 12 years?
Obviously the only true way to judge on field success is premierships, nothing else matters. However I wanted to have a look at value for money if you will in a normal home and away season, that period that most controls the highs and lows of passionate footy fans.
So the ladder I assembled below works on a a few simple factors...
1) Covers the last 12 full seasons (1997 was the first season where all 16 teams currently in the comp existed and there were 22 games in a seasons)
2) Only home and away games (Only fair way to look at the base level, people can obviously see the more successful finals sides)
3) Draws mess things up a bit but are thankfully scarce, we have only had two seasons out of the last 12 where there were no draws in a season, but there are generally only 1-3 in a season at most. In the case of draws i have still given a side half a game so if after 12 seasons, a side has played in 4 draws I have added 2 to their wins. Everyone has different feelings on draws but in fitting with the afl definition of it being a half win i have recognised that in a sides win/loss tally.
So over the last 12 seasons based purely on home and away games played a ladder would look like...
