MatterOfStats 2019 : Team Dashboard for Round 16

/

The latest table of Rankings on Dashboard Metrics appears below.

Currently, the rank correlation between the teams’ ordering based on the MoS Win Production Function and that based on the competition ladder stands at a remarkable +0.96, suggesting that teams are (almost) ordered the same way based on both metrics.

That said, according to the MoS Win Production Function:

  • St Kilda have won 1.7 games more than their scoring metrics would imply

  • West Coast have won 1.3 games more than their scoring metrics would imply

  • Richmond have won 1.2 games more than their scoring metrics would imply

  • Brisbane Lions have won 1.0 games more than their scoring metrics would imply

  • Melbourne have won 0.8 games more than their scoring metrics would imply

  • Carlton have won 1.8 games fewer than their scoring metrics would imply

  • GWS have won 1.4 games fewer than their scoring metrics would imply

  • Hawthorn have won 1.2 games fewer than their scoring metrics would imply

  • Sydney have won 1.0 games fewer than their scoring metrics would imply

The full Team Dashboard appears below, a few of the interesting features of which are:

  • Richmond’s 9 and 6 record paired with a 103 percentage (and that after thumping the Suns 150-58)

  • The fact that the Top 14 teams all have percentages of about 94 or higher.

  • The fact that the teams currently in the Top 8 are only 8 and 8 across the last two rounds, and 17 and 15 since Round 12.

  • The fact that Geelong has won two-thirds of the quarters its played in this year, though less than 60% of final quarters

  • The fact that Collingwood, who lie 3rd, has been outscored in 2nd and 3rd quarters and has won only 31 of 60 quarters

  • The fact that West Coast, who lie 2nd, has won only 31.5 of 60 quarters, only two more than Fremantle, who lie 11th.
