Team numerical advantage in Australian rules football: A missing piece of the scoring puzzle?

The primary aim of this study was to determine the relationship between a team numerical advantage during structured phases of play and match event outcomes in professional Australian football. The secondary aim was to quantify how players occupy different sub-areas of the playing field in match pla...
