2011 Season Wrap UP

The Bats

Season 2011 Wrap Up Stats:

Brendan Browne played the most games at the Bats in 2011, finishing with 19 games in his first AFL season (9 in Div 1 + 10 in Div 3).
Jarrod Palpratt kicked the most goals at the Bats in 2011, finishing with 31 goals (24 in Div 3 + 7 in Div 4).
3 players reached 100 games this season, with 9 players reaching 50 games.
Round 1 2012 (if they play) will see Nick Allardice play 100 games; Gerbil, Ferg Purcell & Ryan O’Grady all play their 50th.
Luke Bell, Paddy Byrne, AC, Crema, Bull Healey, Toby Irish, Lazarus, Ferg McManus, Seb McCallum, Ed Scholl & Lach Williams all represented 3 grades in their first season.
First time in a while that no player had played in all grades over a season. Maybe testament to selecting players in the right team?
