^^^÷ by 2 it should be.

How about this stat? 8 time champs! x that by 2 and that's the next closest to the best team ever in the NBL 100% period.

Pffft… you can manipulate statistics to "prove" almost anything.
A series of random numbers just coicidentally happen to have a trend, but correlation does not prove causation.
Nothing to see here! :p

Thanks PeterJohn
So Perth has the biggest overall advantage from 2012-17.
Confirms what we all know, and what I remembered from last time you posted these.

Just like west coast in the afl with home free kicks

Nz and brisbane fouled a heap, brisbane easily could have given away more. Get over it. If united stoppes chucking threes and attacked the paint they may get more callspaul has repeatedly pointed out that opposition free-throws decrease significantly, and your argument is "but other teams foul"?
If I produced stats showing that Team X shot more threes at home, would you accept that as proof that their 3=point line is somehow to blame? If they get more boards, does that mean there is a problem with the backboards?If you could produce such stats then yeah, it'd be something worth looking into. Or did that year where everyone concluded the Perth Arena rims were way to tight based on relative shooting percentages just not happen according to you?
Doesn't matter what statistics you conjure up, nothing will prove your ludicrous theory of some grand conspiracy involving the NBL and the Refs.Good thing nobody is trying to prove that.

That discrepancy at home even in a small sample size and it feels like Gleeson is barking at the refs more than I've ever heard! I can't stand his whinging!


Yeah I like favourable calls at home and much more then that I really love opposing fan melts so it is a win win situation


I looked at the figures a few seasons ago. On average, the home team gets 2 less fouls per game.... except in Perth

And even then, what are you hoping to prove? That Perth is a better team than most?I cannot possibly fathom how you think the numbers in question could even indicate one way or the other on that front.


So how many fouls should Perth be getting at home?

It's been more than a week LV and You are still losing sleep. I'd tell you to get a life but I like you to remain pathetic more.

Maybe Perth just play better defence at home?
Teams struggle with the flight and time difference.
Opposition teams get star struck and then lose their composure resulting in silly fouls?

That 66 foul count is ridiculous! Something needs to be done about it. The number should actually be 65 because Rhys vague’s block last night was CLEAN, I certainly hope something is done about the terrible reffing.

Not sure 2 games vs 5 games is enough for a comparison. The 2 away games could be outliers for all we know.
I hate simply using foul counts as a comparison of reffing though. The only count that really would matter is incorrect calls/non calls.
Tbh I don't think Perth has necessarily been favored a whole lot. The style of play and the oppositions style has been a big factor in the foul counts.


I'll get behind any stat that exposes the Wildcats

U12 Boys
Seems like a couple of teams in Vic are a fair way ahead of the rest, while 1 in SA is well ahead of others. A couple of Vic teams came to Easter to give us a guide of where to expect the SA teams to come.
SA predictions: Forestville 1-4, Sturt & Woodville 9-12, Southern 13-16.
Top 4: Bulleen, Hawthorn, Kilsyth, Forestville.
U12 Girls
A couple of teams again in Vic seemingly a fair way ahead of the rest, but Forestville in January took it right to them.
SA Predictions: Forestville 1-4, Sturt & West 9-12, Eastern 13-16
Top 4: Knox, Bulleen, Forestville, Melbourne with Norths from Sydney a chance too.
U14 Boys
After Easter it appears there's a fair margin between the Vic & SA teams in this grade. Norwood made the final but 1) lost it by 35 & 2) only beat 1 Vic team en route to the GF, which was McKinnon (who didn't qualify for Classics).
SA Predictions: Norwood & Southern 9-12, Centrals & Sturt 13-16
Top 4: Dandenong, Melbourne, Hills, Knox
U14 Girls
Forestville have had some success already so far in tournaments with a win in January & runner up at Easter. Gap between SA & Vic teams seems much closer in this grade.
SA Predictions: Forestville 1-4, Sturt 5-8, Centrals & Southern 9-12
Top 4: Melbourne, Forestville, Hawthorn, North Bears.
Dandenong predictions to follow later. Feel free to post your thoughts, just be sure not to mention specific players.
