If you want any specific stats for a player, anything at all, or further general stats, simply ask and I can provide those for you if they're available.

nice blog, kinda reminded me of my stats lectures. So many numbers. but very easy to read
Yeah, I figured the best way was to clearly split it all up into categories to make it easier to read, rather than have it as a convoluted post full of gibberish.
Cheers, Wile.
Gee, whiz. How I managed to get that amount on the calculator, I'll never know, haha.
Great blog Ricky, looking forward to these every week.
Cheers, Snake.
Good to hear. Obviously the day we play dictates when it comes out, but they'll always make an appearance, hopefully the day after our game or a couple of days after, time permitting on my part.
Thanks, HKF.
The stats do show that and I think in parts and at times, it was a close game.
If Norman doesn't go down and off the field when he does, the dynamics of the game change dramatically.
So anything could have happened after that, but that's just speculation now.
It's encouraging in some respect, though - at least I think so anyway - that despite being beaten, we were ahead in some stats in the clash.
