MAFL 2011 : Team Dashboard for Round 20

From this week's MAFL Team Dashboard I note that there are two teams sitting below Fremantle that have a superior percentage - the Roos and the Dogs. Further evidence for the fortuity of the Dockers' position resides in the fact that, based on their relative scoring shot production and relative conversion rate for those scoring shots, Fremantle have won almost 1.5 games more than they "should" have.

Other teams whose scoring performance is most misaligned, according to the Win Production Function, with their winning rate are: 

  • Melbourne, who've won just under 2 games more than their scoring statistics would predict
  • The Suns (also about 2 games more)
  • Adelaide and West Coast (about a game more)
  • Brisbane (almost 2 games less)
  • Carlton and the Roos (each over a game less)
  • Sydney and the Dogs (each about a game less)
