I'm not going to do a massive send-off here, but I've elected to move on from this blog. My new site is https://stattraction.au/ and that is where I'll continue to post. This site will live on as an archive and a memory and possibly a back-up plan if things go belly-up in my new place. … Continue reading Fare thee well!
AFL: Round 1, 2025
Y'know, for all my effort making graphics this off-season, I completely forgot to make a results graphic. And I happen to not have time to fix that this week so uhhhh I remind you again this week that graphic design is my passion. With the opening round being reduced to two games thanks to some … Continue reading AFL: Round 1, 2025
AFL: Before Season 2025
Stattraction returns for a 10th season. That is a long time to be doing this! In that time I've grown up from a clueless uni student to a clueless and jaded uni student. What a quality use of 10 years. With all of my attempts to innovate falling flat on their face, STaRS 2025 is … Continue reading AFL: Before Season 2025
AFLW: After Season 2024
North do what they couldn't last year, and beat Brisbane in a home grand final as the favourites. It was a dominant performance too, with Brisbane only scoring 2 points after quarter time. They become the only team to go undefeated in AFLW history aside from Fremantle in the shortened, incomplete 2020 season. So, what's … Continue reading AFLW: After Season 2024
AFLW: Grand Final, 2024
We're finally here! Springfield was hosting the danger game and, yep, it was a dangerous. STaRS got the tip wrong and the Lions were comprehensive in their victory to set up a rematch from last year's grand final. Pretty straightforward again this week, with no movement. Ratings have gone back to the previous scale before … Continue reading AFLW: Grand Final, 2024
AFLW: Preliminary Finals, 2024
As anyone who follows me on bsky will know, I lost all of my visualisations this week. I've replaced some of them with the Reactable package in R but I'm not finished with that yet. To be honest, I've been meaning to port things over to Reactable for a while now so this is honestly … Continue reading AFLW: Preliminary Finals, 2024
AFLW: Semi Finals, 2024
A good week for all involved. Good footy, Mim Strom breaking the hitouts record, and Port and Richmond combining for 120 points, a finals record. Also I've gotten a Bluesky and I'm already more active there than I ever was on Twitter. Follow if you want random slightly interesting tidbits. Fairly expected results outside of … Continue reading AFLW: Semi Finals, 2024
AFLW: Before Finals, 2024
Eight teams remain. An awesome week, mostly due to all the favourites winning. We had only the one AE blowout, too. West Coast end the season in last place. Again. They got a few more wins this year but ultimately their rating ends in an even worse place. You can see above that Port are … Continue reading AFLW: Before Finals, 2024
AFLW: Round 10, 2024
One last H&A round for 2024.
AFLW: Round 9, 2024
Commentary will probably be back in time for finals. For now, however, I'll just be doing image posts. Edit: Yes, I do normally change the team names for Indigenous Round, but I don't have the time to fiddle with the backend and change things around this week. Just pretend that I changed them.
