Highest percentage is a pretty rubbery term in my opinion. If a kid is on the team sheet but doesn't step on the pitch does that mean they have 'played'? I suspect there are plenty of examples of players playing up that also have their name on their correct age team sheet with no intention of playing. I am always surprised by how many upsets there are in the finals series, and I suspect this issue has a bit to do with it.
