Almanac Teams: Arrivals and Departures (Footscray/Western Bulldogs)
This year for football teams I have gone back to a theme. A team of Arrivals and Departures at each club. I hope the teams go down well.
The criteria for each team
- Based each team from players from 1980.
- Have tried to put a player in from each remaining 18 teams including Fitzroy on most occasions.
- Have tried to be as balanced as possible, though the interchange regardless of balance will be next best four players.
- The player is based on from previous club and to immediate next club.
- Stats are based on the club and for arrivals, the immediate club before and for departures, the immediate club after.
- The Arrivals team is based on the performance at the club, while departures is based on the performance at their new club.
If I’ve missed anyone, please advise, and please enjoy.
