MatterOfStats 2019 : Team Dashboard for Round 14

/

The latest table of Rankings on Dashboard Metrics appears below.

One interesting feature it reveals is that the teams in the Top 8 on the competition ladder are now also the Top 8 teams as measured by Expected Wins according to the MoS Win Production Function, albeit in a different order.

More broadly, if we look at the Top 8 on the ladder, we get:

  • 6 of the top 8 teams on Scoring Shots Registered per game

  • 6 of the top 8 teams on Scoring Shots Conceded per game

  • 5 of the top 8 teams on Own Scoring Shot Conversion

  • 5 of the top 8 teams on Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion

  • 7 of the top 8 teams on Own Goal Scoring

  • 7 of the top 8 teams on Own Points Scoring

  • 6 of the top 8 teams on Opponent Goal Scoring

  • 7 of the top 8 teams on Opponent Points Scoring

  • 4 of the top 8 teams on Q1 Performances

  • 5 of the top 8 teams on Q2 Performances

  • 5 of the top 8 teams on Q3 Performances

  • 7 of the top 8 teams on Q4 Performances

  • 7 of the top 8 teams on % Quarters Won

These counts are consistent with the rank correlations shown at the foot of the table.

The full Team Dashboard appears below and reveals, amongst other things:

  • Collingwood’s dominance of 1st and 4th Quarters

  • Geelong’s consistency across all four quarters (they’ve lost only 15 quarters all season) and the massive difference between their own and their opponents’ conversion rates (59.7% v 44.5%)

  • Port Adelaide’s dominance only in 2nd Quarters

  • West Coast’s middling performance across all four quarters

  • The relatively fast starts of Gold Coast (they’ve scored almost one-third of their total points in 1st Quarters alone)

  • The large difference between Melbourne’s and their opponents’ conversion rates (48.9% v 61.5%)
