  • The 2018 Grand Final Stats Preview
    The Goalpost Padding presents: The 2018 Grand Final Stats Preview After a long season of football, everything is set to be decided at the MCG, when the West Coast Eagles and the Collingwood Magpies face off for the chance to immortalise themselves in the history books, and win themselves the ultimate glory. Being the football fans we are here at The Flag, we couldn’t let such a day go past without providing something of our own for it. So we have, with a 30-page booklet filled to the brim with all sorts of interesting, entertaining, yet ultimately frivolous statistics. We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you reading this for helping support us - if all goes well, we aim to do this for a career when we’re older, and knowing that our work is going out there and being praised really lifts our spirits. Hopefully you all enjoy the game and find something cool in here. -Nick/Claire Fredriksson theflagsports.wordpress.com on Twitter as @NickTheStatsGuy ​ Note: statistics based on the players involved in the match assume that there’s no change from the preliminary final squads, and so won’t include players added to the team. Contents The Goalpost Padding presents: The 2018 Grand Final Stats Preview 1 Contents 2 The Club Grand Final Player Leaderboard 3 Divisor Scores and Margins 4 On Captains’ Names, and Precedents 6 Scores to Get (or Not) 8 The Individual Stat Leaderboards (Game) 9 Scoring the Year 11 The Club Premiership Player Leaderboard 13 Margin Milestones 14 On Coaches’ Names, and Precedents 15 Day by Day 17 The Individual Stat Leaderboards (Career) 19 Jumper Streaks, Droughts, and Miscellanies 20 Conversions 24 Echoes of Names Gone Past 26 Bite-Sized Statistics 29 The Club Grand Final Player Leaderboard Unsurprisingly, given they’ve played in 14 more Grand Finals than any other team, Collingwood have a big lead when it comes to the number of Grand Final players they’ve had.
