      <content:encoded><![CDATA[So, for my undergraduate thesis I&#039;ve chosen to spend a year studying the effectiveness of data analytics and machine learning within the sport of Aussie Rules.  From what I&#039;ve found, there really hasn&#039;t been much research done at all in attempting to predict outcomes in AFL - or at least nothing using modern methods and techniques.  There&#039;s been a bit of work done in baseball, basketball and NFL but I think Aussie Rules is a relatively untouched sport.<br />

<br />
Worth noting that this year they&#039;re offering a ten player private competition. Given that this forum is kinda dead is it worth going with that?<br />
<br />
I&#039;ll set up a league once we decide whether we want a ten player competition or an eighteen man competition.<br />

Basically, you take the drafts of the last 22 years (1992-2014)* and  pick 1 player from each draft. This could be done in order or just  people keep track. <br />

Just an idea, could be fun just as a draft thing.<br />
