Ladder Progression table

edit

Thejoebloggsblog, I don't agree that it is straightforward, as when I first saw it, I found it overwhelming and confusing as there is way too much information to process. I understand that you have put in a lot of work and it is great that you are trying to be innovative, but in this case, your efforts are unnecessary because the older templates are sufficient in their information. Remember, because you have spent a lot of time on it, means you understand it more in depth, but for people who view the article at a glance, it is confusing. Furthermore, how is it beneficial to know who is in third in round eight, for example? There are parts in it that just aren't necessary to illustrate in this article, i.e. bottom 4, 5th-6th, 3rd-4th, 2nd etc. as this information can be found elsewhere (i.e. AFL tables), this article already borders on having too much information, and it shouldn't be a base for every piece of information in the season. You have also been adding the points in for teams in the next round when their points or position can't change, i.e. Freo earlier in the season, and the teams with byes next week, this provides zero context, as there is no comparison with the rest of the teams. If you can provide strong evidence as to why this change is necessary, then I think we can accommodate it, but at the moment there is no evidence as to why it's beneficial, and I'm going to put it back as the original template during this discussion so as to avoid confusion when people look at it.

Match reports

edit

My name is TheLabRats and I have just joined wikipedia and have been interested in editing for a while. I just wondered how you got the match reports onto the edit as I was trying to do the same for the 2015 VFL season. I was also wondering where to get a report from for that too. Thankyou — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheLabRats (talkcontribs) 09:40, 27 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Scheduling conflicts

edit

If these are facts they is worth mentioning in notable events if someone can support them:

  • Cricket World Cup matches held at venues normally used for AFL matches required changes to what would have been the normal AFL schedule.
  • These changes led to the intended date of the grand final, 10 Oct, conflicting with Bathurst so the grand final was pushed forward a week.

Games played while retrospectively banned

edit

There are two milestones listed that were awarded to players who have been been given backdated bans by the Court of Arbitration of sport. 7 Games for Dustin Fletcher and 12 games for Jobe Watson. I have attempted to update the page to reflect this only to have the factual cited edits reversed. I have no idea why this has occured. The edits were accurate and factual.

Essentially you are insinuating that those games are/might be considered invalid, this is original research and against policy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.209.129 (talk) 05:21, 19 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. At the moment, it is only a fringe opinion that games played during 2015 might be discounted from the record books, mentioned occasionally (particularly by David Culbert) but not generating any significant discussion. I wouldn't make any mention of the matter unless the AFL Commission does ultimately make that adjustment. Aspirex (talk) 06:35, 19 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
