Back to the topic!
Sport ol chap, after smashing you with three forms of quantitative data, I now would like to move to more qualitative data.
Could you and any members following along please do the following.
Google AFL lopsided competition.
Here’s a bunch of results I found on page 1!
https://thenewdaily.com.au/sport/afl/20 ... -connolly/
It
was certainly a lopsided weekend, with six of nine games decided by 47 points or more and seven teams unable to manage any more than nine goals.
As of currently
this round is going one way and one way only. The lowest winning margin was 34 points and Essendon dominated Cats the exact same as last year.

After seeing his players trounce Port Adelaide by 138 points,
Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse used the post-match press conference to raise his own fears for the lopsided AFL competition.

There have been nine 100-point-plus blowouts so far this season and,
statistically, the chasm between top and bottom teams has never been more yawning.

Splitting AFL into two divisions would make for a more exciting competition, writes Mick Malthouse ... With so much at stake, in a more balanced pool,
there'll be far fewer lopsided results.

AFL football operations boss Adrian Anderson said such one-sided results were likely to continue next year
Critics point to the new clubs further diluting football's talent poo
Jesus! Even I didn’t expect it’d be that bad
Fukk eh, got any words for us now sport ol chap? Any - No no no, I say it ain’t so?
Oh yeah and since you’re into trying to say the nrl comp is more lopsided, please, e my guest and enter “NRL lopsided competition” into google and please provide your relevant first page of entries
there’s a lad
Nice stories.
Most seem to be discussing score disparity within a few games here and there to label it lopsided, interesting.
Few old ones there too I noticed.
History does give a good insight.
It seems the AFL has been lopsided for a while.
Let's have a look back.
Using for and against percentage.
Looking at teams ability to score (the measure your stories discussed) against the rest of the teams within their respective comps over the course of a season.
Imo, the most accurate representation of how lopsided a comp is.
Last year 2017
AFL'S poorest scoring team: 74.3%

SHITTER THAN DOG SHIT!
With no defence coming for SOO or ARL (for good reason) and this data proving the NRL is consistently more lopsided year after year after year than the AFL there is no other conclusion.
Rugby league as a code in this country is SHITTER THAN DOG SHIT!
So KE, lookout, the AFL just pinched one off from the top of the deep deep hole you're taking a piss in.
You will probably enjoy the impending "Cleveland steamer" considering your fetish with golden showers.
