My scoresheets

Healy has done some stats on his footy hobby...
I HAVE a football hobby: scoring. It’s pretty much using a bit of paper with teams and game notes, and writing the scores in boxes, while writing down goal kickers and the quarter by quarter scores. I’ve been doing this for years, but I’ve only kept them in a folder since 2007. I recently came up with the idea of going over all my scoresheets and finding stats on which teams I’ve covered the most and their win/loss ratios and stuff like that.
I found out some interesting stuff, Collingwood is the team I’ve scored the most over the three years; with 43 premiership season games (I don’t include NAB cup games). I’ve scored two draws, Bulldogs vs St.Kilda from 2007, and Richmond vs North from last year (which funnily enough have the identical scoreline). Melbourne is the least-scored team with only six games, but that’s obviously because I go for the Dees and I’m at their games:
Total games scored (home/away)
1. Collingwood=43 (17-26)
2. Geelong= 35 (16-19)
3. Carlton=29 (15-14)
4. North Melbourne=28 (16-12)
5. St Kilda=25 (15-10)
6. Hawthorn=25 (13-12)
7. Adelaide=24 (11-13)
8. Essendon=23 (11-12)
9. Richmond (how ironic) =21 (14-7)
10. Western Bulldogs=20 (10-10)
11. Sydney=18 (8-10)
12. West Coast=17 (8-9)
13. Brisbane=14 (7-7)
14. Fremantle=14 (5-9)
15. Port Adelaide=10 (6-4)
16. Melbourne=6 (4-2)
Total games scored: 176
2007: 46 2008: 59 2009: 71
Year-by-year games for each club (2007-2008-2009)
Adelaide= 7-9-8
Brisbane= 0-4-10
Carlton= 7-8-14
Collingwood= 11-16-16
Essendon= 6-8-9
Fremantle= 3-6-5
Geelong= 8-13-14
Hawthorn= 2-12-11
Melbourne= 3-2-1
North Melbourne= 11-7-10
Port Adelaide= 6-2-2
Richmond= 4-7-10
St.Kilda= 7-7-11
Sydney= 5-6-7
West Coast= 8-5-4
Western Bulldogs= 4-6-10
Actual ladder (win-loss records for the teams, percentage of games won)
1. St Kilda= 19-5-1 78%
2. Geelong= 27-8 77.14%
3. Western Bulldogs= 12-7-1 62.5%
4. Brisbane= 8-6 57.14%
5. Hawthorn= 14-11 56%
6. Collingwood= 24-19 55.81%
7. Adelaide= 12-12 50%
8. Port Adelaide= 5-5 50%
9. North Melbourne= 12-15-1 44.64%
10. Carlton= 11-18 37.93%
11. West Coast= 6-11 35.29%
12. Essendon= 8-15 34.78%
13. Sydney= 6-12 33.33%
14. Fremantle= 4-10 28.57%
15. Richmond= 5-15-1 26.19%
16. Melbourne= 1-5 16.67%
After having a look at the fixture this year, I’m predicting that Port Adelaide will be featured 5-10 times instead of two which has been the case in the last two years. Collingwood will probably get another 16 for me, but it’s no surprise since they have they are broadcast on free to air almost every week.
