Note: FR = Front row, SR = Second row, BR = Back row, HB = Half backs, MF = Midfield, B3 = Back three.
The order of reporting within and across subsets relates to the means score for that dependent variable and is in the order of smallest first (i.e., the first position group reported in subset 1 is the smallest mean, and subset 1 has smaller means score than subset 2).
