WXV Round 15: London to determine Beijing's Fate

[Purple 77]

I know I've probably been inconsistent, but shouldn't it be either name a team without Hawks or Sydney players OR get a team named entirely on preferences? Otherwise a little double dipping...

We did something like this last year... I assumed they could select a team around the locked players. I'll double check that round now, but if I didn't allow them too, then I won't now, but I assume I did  :-X

[Purple 77]

Yeah, you're probably right oz, but I did allow it last year, so I better be consistent with that and not change rules mid-season. We'll review it EOS when we review all the rules again

...you have two options:

1) Choose a team without Sydney and Port players

2) Accept Strike 1 (no punishment, but Strike 2 is a loss in a premiership point), in which case I name a team based on preferences as shown below, but only the Syd/Port players are locked so you are free to choose the rest of your team:

[Ricochet]

EurAsia and Asia will be ours

[Jay]

Wow we can't get any luck this year.. Laird a late out for our must win game. :(

Some stats I've been working on pulling together... Not including this round

Most WXV Games

Highest WXV Scores
Identifier   Team   Year   Round   Senior
L Franklin   Berlin Brewers   2012   10   236
P Dangerfield   Seoul Magpies   2016   12   229
T Goldstein   Dublin Destroyers   2015   14   221
D Cox   New York Eagles   2012   13   215

Dangerfield makes the list twice! No Ablett in top 10, but he has 7 in the top 40 scores.

Highest Scores in the Reserves
(Players not selected in the Seniors that week)

Identifier   ResTeam   Year   Round   Reserves
J Waite   Washington Rebellion   2015   2   177
P Cripps   Rio de Janeiro Jaguars   2015   4   172

A Hall   Manitoba Moose   2015   17   150
J Waite   Mexico City Suns   2014   16   149

Waite finds himself in that list twice

[Purple 77]

That Franklin score was a good, good day  8)

[ossie85]

Number of times named in the best (i.e. scored 100 or more in WXV Seniors)

As a bit of background, overall, 27% of senior scores are a 100 or more.

Player, Times 100 or more, Total Games, % times score 100 or more
S Pendlebury   76   87   87%
JP Kennedy   66   90   73%
J Selwood   62   88   70%
G Ablett   60   73   82%
T Cotchin   59   86   69%
R Sloane   58   86   67%
M Priddis   57   82   70%
C Ward   56   89   63%
T Goldstein   54   84   64%
B Goddard   53   92   58%

That's right... Pendlebury has scored 76 centuries (10 more than next best in JPK) from his 87 games, at a whopping strike rate of 87% (5% more than next best Ablett). I think Pendlebury has justified his #1 selection in the initial draft, but looks likely never to win a Jim Stynes medal.


A few odd stats... Sam Iles made the best players list 60% of the time he played (3 from 5 matches), while Nick Smith has played an astonishing 61 matches without ever scoring a 100 (the next best Sutcliffe with 61 matches). Though Shaun Atley's 3 centuries from 67 matches isn't great either.

[ossie85]

As far as total points scored goes in WXV matches

Player, Total Points scored
S Pendlebury   10629
J Selwood   10094
JP Kennedy   10073
P Dangerfield   9716
G Ablett   9482
R Sloane   9470
T Goldstein   9468
C Ward   9451
B Goddard   9404
T Cotchin   9366

So well done on Selwood and JPK recently passing 10,000 points scored. Danger is a good chance of getting that this year also.

The games-by-club is my favourite stat

And yes folks, Colin Garland HAS played that many games for me at THAT average.

He joins Dylan Grimes, Brad Crouch, Jake Spencer and Michael Hibberd as the only players that have lasted the whole 5 years for me  :-X
