MatterOfStats 2021 : Team Dashboard for Round 22

/

Below is the latest Ranking on Dashboard Metrics data, which suggests that, according to the MoS Win Production Function, all of the Top 8 teams deserve to be Top 8, but in a different order. (And, yikes, that thing is 10 years old now. I should be looking for primary schools for it).

Amongst that Top 8:

  • Melbourne stand out for their relatively poor Own and Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion

  • Geelong and Port Adelaide stand out for their relatively poor Q1 Performances

  • Western Bulldogs stand out for their relatively poor Own Scoring Shot Conversion and Q3 Performances

  • GWS stand out for their relatively poor Own and Opponent Scoring Shot Generation, and for their Q2 and Q4 Performances

  • Essendon stand out for their relatively poor Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion, and for Goals and Points Conceded

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

  • Sydney have recorded 55.5% of their Scoring Shots as goals, Fremantle only 45.9%

  • Hawthorn’s opponents have registered 56.4% of their Scoring Shots as goals, Port Adelaide’s only 46.7%

  • Adelaide, Carlton, Gold Coast, and North Melbourne are the only teams to have been outscored by their opponents in each of the four quarters considered separately (Hawthorn have scored exactly as many points as they’ve conceded in Q3s)

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

  • Geelong have scored only 19% of their points in Q1s

  • GWS still sits inside the Top 8 with a percentage below 100

  • Essendon have scored 44 more points than Melbourne, and 83 more points than Geelong

  • Hawthorn has the equal second-longest winning streak in the competition
