It's knowing where to find it ...
To
the uninitiated Footystats is often *TMI* – too much information
– just a mass of figures and tables.
The guts of Footystats has changed little in more than 20 years after
it set out to provide a reliable source of detail helpful in commentating or
writing on a senior match involving AFL clubs.
Many have worked hard
to realise what Footystats delivers.
When the phalanx of
Footystats files become available with each new set of matches,
advance research can be realised on every game. The
diamonds to be found and purity of the flow
will be realised when you learn
where to look for what you want.
Rewards come with experience and the willingness of completing the apprenticeship.
A complete set of files (one for each of the eight games) will give you
