MatterOfStats 2021 : Team Dashboard for Round 13

Below is the latest Ranking on Dashboard Metrics data, which is ordered based firstly on each team’s competition points per game played, and then based on percentage:

The most reliable metrics for determining a team’s ladder position ordered in this way are now Percent of Quarters Won, the MoS Win Production Function, and then Q2 Performances (with a slew of other metrics not far behind).

Looking at that MoS Win Production Function suggests that:

  • Melbourne have won 1.7 games more than expected

  • St Kilda have won 1.4 games more than expected

  • Fremantle have won 0.8 games more than expected

  • Essendon have won 1.2 games fewer than expected

  • Collingwood have won 1.1 games fewer than expected

  • Carlton have won 1.0 games fewer than expected

  • Gold Coast have won 0.9 games fewer than expected

The full Team Dashboard appears below, a few of the interesting things from which are that:

  • Adelaide have finally won a Q3

  • West Coast have scored 32% of their points in Q2s

  • Fremantle have scored 32% of their points in Q3s

  • Carlton have scored 18% of their points in Q4s

  • West Coast have recorded 58.9% of their Scoring Shots as goals, Fremantle only 45.1%

  • Essendon’s opponents have registered 56.6% of their Scoring Shots as goals, Geelong only 47.5%

  • Carlton, Hawthorn, North Melbourne, and St Kilda are the only teams to have been outscored by their opponents in each of the four quarters considered separately

  • Brisbane Lions, Geelong, Melbourne, and Port Adelaide are the only teams to have outscored their opponents in each of the four quarters considered separately

  • Geelong have outscored their opponents by almost 2:1 in Q3s, but only barely outscored them in Q4s
