That, at the half way point of the season 13 of the 18 Clubs have a percentage of over 100?

St Kilda is at 92% so not far off making that 14 of 18

St Kilda

"not far off" having a percentage over 100

"not far off" top 4

"not far off" being a contender

To clarify, absent the thumping by WB, St Kilda’s percentage would be close to the 100% mark (also)

The question is when was the last time, at the half way point in a season, 13 of the 18 sides had a percentage of over 100

In fact St Kilda having a percentage of 92 further compromises any chance St Kilda have of mounting a late charge to finals participation

But along comes guess who?

With a well established anti St Kilda and anti Ross Lyon bent, highjacking yet another thread on this site

A sensible response, in my opinion, would be that the competition is that even with any side capable of beating any other side on a particular day - and that includes WCE playing in Perth

The other fact is home games and the advantage of home games (noting Alice Springs was a Melbourne home game)

A position in the 8 looks and, indeed positions in the 8, look like coming down to percentage

Our next match, v Gold Coast in Melbourne will be most interesting, Gold Coast travelling

Back on the turps, crumbed scallops?

Or is that battered?

Let's drag this thread back to its actual topic....

I did a little research and found that this was the first occurrence in an 18 team league.

At the conclusion of round 12 last year, 12 teams had a percentage of over 100 (ours was 116.5) and right below the 100 mark was Richmond, with 99.2 and Carlton with 95.1.

In the 2022 season, it was also 12 clubs over 100% at the conclusion of round 12. Even more surprisingly, 9 of them had over 110%.

Here's a little chart going further back:

Year# Teams over 100% at Round 12
20219
2020*8
201910
2018**11
201711
201610
20159
2014***11
201312
201211
*Covid season so usual caveats apply.
**2018 had 4 teams over 130% at this point!
***Our most recent spoon. We had 62.1% after round 12 and finished with 60.8%. Dark times.


Additional fun fact: In 2017 Sydney were 14th at the conclusion of round 12, with only 4 wins, but a % of 105.

Interesting

I would have thought it would have been more unusual than that - and there would have been a cohort of low percentages hence the higher percentages of some

And I think that the Premiership table currently reflects who and where sides have played (so the draw)

How that corrects over the remainder of the season will be of interest - noting the impact on the draw for next season

There are some established sides such as Geelong, Brisbane, Melbourne and even Collingwood which appear in decline (and with ageing lists)
