When the media write up these people who try and reproduce stats from baseball for the AFL, they never seem to look at the results and see if they've provided any actual insight into anything. This may well be an interesting project in statistical analysis (although I struggle with the idea that the score in games in the 1960's can be matched with the way teams score in the 2010's, which is why they had to shuffle it about) but as far as actually predicting an outcome of one team in one season, it's useless, and not meant to be used that way.
