A little analysis

by LES EVERETT
THE club fairest & best placings we've published have thrown up the names of 51 players who have had good seasons.

Let's subject the list to some in-depth analysis.

49% originate from Victoria. 22% South Australian. 16% Western Australia. 6% Tasmania. 6% Queensland & 2% New South Wales. That adds up to 101% because of rounding up but may reflect what these champs put in during the year.

62.5% of fairest & best winners originate from Victoria. 12.5% from SA. 12.5% WA. 6.25% Tas. 6.25% Qld. That adds up to 100%.

43% are aged between 24 and 27 (age as of end of 2002). 14% are 30 or older and 12% are 21 or younger.

29% come out of the TAC Cup 18s competition.

18% have played for another club. North Melbourne has supplied the most fairest and best place getters to other clubs - three.

14% were chosen in the top 10 at a national draft.

That was interesting wasn't it.
