MatterOfStats 2022 : Team Dashboard for Round 14

The Ranking on Dashboard Metrics data appears below and continues to show that the MoS Win Production Function is the most reliable predictor of a team’s ladder position, and their ranking on Own Scoring Shot Conversion the least reliable.

Currently, the teams filling 2nd through 4th on the ladder are ranked 12th, 14th, and 16th on their Conversion.

Fremantle is an interesting case, and appears to have secured its spot almost solely on defence. They are 1st on Opponent Scoring Shots, 8th on Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion, and thereby 2nd on Goals and Points Conceded. But, they are also 11th on Own Scoring Shots, 12th on Own Scoring Shot Conversion, and 13th on Goals and Points Scored.

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

  • GWS have scored 62% and Carlton 59% of their points in the 1st half of games

  • West Coast have scored 59% of their points in the 2nd half of games. West Coast have a percentage of only 44 in Q1s and Q2s

  • Melbourne have more than doubled their opponents’ score in Q1s

  • Brisbane Lions, Fremantle and Geelong are the only teams to have outscored their opponents in each of the four quarters taken separately

  • Adelaide, Hawthorn, North Melbourne and West Coast are the only teams to have been outscored by their opponents in each of the four quarters taken separately

  • Melbourne have won more quarters than any other team in the competition

  • West Coast have won only 10 quarters, and drawn two

  • Carlton, despite sitting 5th on the ladder have lost as many quarters as they’ve won
