The Sydney - Newcastle game was so enthralling I decided to compose this...
FS in the pre-game showed some statistics about points lost in the last 5mins (+ injury time) of matches; ie. 86th minute and afterwards. I figured it'd be interesting to put it together with points gained and see where teams would be, for the last 10mins + injury.
For 80mins and later - as of end of CC V QR game
What does this tell us?
*Most teams gain and lose a similar number points over the course of (half a) season.
*Wellington have gained the most number of points in the last 10mins - a change from last year when they were dropping points in the last 10. They also haven't dropped any points, and only one goal, in the last 10.
*The goals for and against seems to largely follow the table standings, with the exception of Melbourne's 4 goals conceded and our 5 goals scored.
*Perth and Newcastle fade in the last 10; Adelaide and us seem to be at our best scoring-wise.
*Perth would be in the top four if games finished at 80mins...shocking, eh?
*Newcastle are shit regardless of whether the match finishes at 80mins or 90+xmins.
Hrm. Not as interesting as I would have hoped, although the Perth stat I wouldn't have realised. Eh, better than watching Aloi$i FC and Scum run around trying to play football.
