The Decade That Was 2000-2009

**laughingnome** · 20th October 2009, 02:47 PM

Each team has been scored against each other based on their results over the 10 years. For example, in this period Collingwood played Carlton 20 times. Collingwood won 11, Carlton 9. Thus this is recorded as a single game which Collingwood won 11-9. As another example, Richmond played Brisbane 13 times for 6 wins 6 losses and a draw. In the table this is recorded as 6-6 and each team registers a drawn match. Each team obviously "played" 15 matches. Points are awarded 3 for a win, 1 for a draw, with a club's total winning percentage over the decade used in the even of tied points for rank.

Rank	Team	Matches	Won	Lost	Drew	Win%	Points
1	Geelong	15	12	1	2	67.78	38
2	Brisbane	15	12	2	1	59.54	37
3	Essendon	15	10	4	1	52.20	31
4	Adelaide	15	10	5	0	58.25	30
5	Port Adelaide	15	10	5	0	57.92	30
6	Sydney	15	10	5	0	54.60	30
7	Collingwood	15	9	5	1	51.71	28
8	North Melbourne	15	9	5	1	49.47	28
9	West Coast	15	9	6	0	50.20	27
10	Hawthorn	15	6	8	1	49.08	25
11	St Kilda	15	6	9	0	50.49	18
12	Fremantle	15	4	10	1	41.98	13
13	Melbourne	15	4	11	0	41.93	12

15	Richmond	15	3	11	1	38.19	10
16	Carlton	15	1	13	1	37.11	4

I have a complete breakdown in an Excel spreadsheet, but I fear RWO will not allow me to attach it to this post. I will publish the Sydney Table in Swans Chat, if you want other club's please PM me.

It's the off-season, okay? I'm bored and procrastinating uni work.

I appreciate - great work little laughing man! A pretty good decade for the Swans. One of their best ever. And one of the worst ever for Carlton.
