I'm not sure whether to attribute it to the unusual nature of the season or to a faltering ability of the MoS Win Production Function to map win entitlements to scoring statistics - who am I kidding, of course I reckon 'tis the season - but half of the teams in the competition have now won or lost 1 or more games more or fewer than that Win Production Function would suggest.

The unlucky ones, the teams that've won fewer games than might be expected, are:

West Coast (-2.1 games)
Richmond (-1.6 games)
Carlton (-1.4 games)
Port Adelaide (-1.4 games)
Adelaide (-1.2 games)

The lucky ones are:

Geelong (+2.7 games)
Brisbane Lions (+2.2 games)
St Kilda (+1.7 games)
Gold Coast (+1.1 games)

Hawthorn, meantime, are the only team to have registered over 2,000 points so far this season. They're also the only team to have kicked over 300 goals. Geelong, for what it's worth, have scored most behinds (234), though they're only one behind ahead of Port Adelaide and the Kangaroos, and one more ahead of Sydney.

The award for fewest goals conceded belongs to Fremantle (172), whose record is one goal superior to Sydney's. Fewest behinds have been conceded by Essendon (183), ahead of Port Adelaide (187), Hawthorn (190) and the lowly-ranked Western Bulldogs (192).
