Just found some stat errors with finalsiren.com or the AFL Website.

2011 - Round 12: St Kilda v Western Bulldogs

Kicks:
(AFL Website says: 203 - 171)
(FinalSiren + StatsRLeague Website says: 203 - 178)

Handballs:
(AFL Website says: 167 - 185)
(FinalSiren + StatsRLeague Website says: 167 - 196)

Disposals:
(AFL Website says: 370 - 356)
(FinalSiren + StatsRLeague Website says: 370 - 374)

Starting to think the AFL is the worst site for stats now.

I had a look and the AFL site and Footywire both have the same as AFL Tables and Final Siren

203 Kicks 178
167 Handballs 196
370 Disposals 374
91 Marks 68

All I believe, come from the same source, Champion Data.

(Final Siren also has 68 Marks for WB.)

There is something amiss in your methodology.

Are you looking at the same match in all?

Final Siren sometimes revises its figures after they are first posted - an extra tackle or two is commonly added, or taken from one player and given to another. Can only assume this is a result of CD revising its numbers post-game.

QFT. I've had a lots of appreciative messages over the years, it really is instrumental in keeping things going.

And if I may return the favour, the amount of nonsense/crap feedback I've got has been virtually non-existent - it's pretty much all been constructive. Which, given amount of dropkicks that roam the internet, is testament to the quality mindset of statoholics

I use finalsiren every week and love it. Always use it to help with my captain selections. Would be devastated if it were discontinued.

Keep up the good work!

 

[beez]

+1 for using it every week. I have it open with fanfooty constantly and love the fact it's generally updated within 2 minutes of the final siren (pun intended).

 

[*Paul*]

Keep up the good work!

I will! But I'm not finalsiren.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Just went to the site then and received an "Unspecified error", is it just me or has anybody else received this message? I sure hope that he's working on the site to get it updated and hasn't finished it off.

Yeah, 100% sure I was looking at the same match. I'll see later if the site has changed it or not.
I think it may be different with the whole tackle count for the season as well.
Anyhow, I posted the links on where I found the match statistics.
Note: Some statistics for that game may have changed since I last looked.

This appears to be a obsolete interface - 2009 Game Day? If you look at the STK v WB game, you'll see the Dogs marking total is given as 64, but if you add up the individual tallies, it comes out as 68. Borne out by the proper page

Geelong lose in the Geelong and everything goes bonkers.

Is this finally the end for www.finalsiren.com?

Interesting that this year the domain was renewed for only 12 months.

I guess by March next year we'll know for sure if the site is finished.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Sad day if it is indeed finished.

 

[CamTinley]

Sad day if it is indeed finished.

You bet it would be a sad day.

If I have to use the AFL Website I'll need to set aside an extra 2 or 3 hours a week to find the same info. That's if it's there at all.

 

[red+black]

Keep up the good work!

I will! But I'm not finalsiren.

You'll have to pick up the slack mate

Footywire is a good replacement, if you don't use that mate, rather than using the AFL website.

Thanks

Yes, it looks like Footywire will do the trick. The AFL site is pathetic in every respect.

Weird as. The afl site has to pick up the pace.
Hopefully finalsiren.com doesn't actually end.

It's a bit slow because of all the advertising. Mr Finalsiren, please post here and let us know what's going on.

 

[red+black]

finalsiren is back up

 

[Ron The Bear]

finalsiren is back up

No match stats since R21.

No match stats since R21.

From time to time I've had some limited correspondence with "Final Siren". No response to my most recent e-mail giving encouragement to continue.

I suspect part of the site is automated in some way (the 'news feeds') and at the moment is operating unattended.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Sad if it's going to die. Love Final Siren. Any chance, someone else can take over the running of the site to keep it alive?

 

[damuzzdu]

Seems the guy running final siren is back up again.

All games have been updated from last two weeks with all stats

 

[Effes]

Great news.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Great news, this news has made my day.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Woohoo, I think. Had just converted my db to accommodate the Footywire format.

Email from Final Siren this morning:
