MatterOfStats 2022 : Team Dashboard for Round 17

The Ranking on Dashboard Metrics data appears below and continues to show how unimportant own and opponent scoring shot conversion has been this season. So much so, in fact that the teams that are last and third-last on own scoring shot conversion sit in the top two spots on the ladder, and the teams in third-last and fourth-last on opponent scoring shot conversion occupy first and sixth on the ladder.

Meantime, the MoS Win Production Function continues to rank teams very similarly to their ladder positions, with the notable exception being Collingwood, who sit 6th on the ladder but 12th on expected wins.

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

  • GWS have scored 59% and Carlton 57% of their points in the 1st half of games

  • West Coast have a percentage of only 43 in Q1s, and 54 in Q4s (they were scoreless in both this round)

  • Fremantle, who sit 3rd on the ladder, have registered fewer goals than the teams in 4th through 8th, 10th and 11th (as well as 1st and 2nd). They have also conceded fewer goals than every other team except Melbourne.

  • Port Adelaide, despite sitting in 12th place on the ladder, have conceded fewer goals than every other team except Melbourne and Fremantle.

  • Brisbane Lions, Fremantle, Geelong, Melbourne, and Western Bulldogs are the only teams to have outscored their opponents in each of the four quarters taken separately (Port Adelaide would be in this group but for a 99.6 percentage in Q2s)

  • Adelaide, 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 and Geelong have won more quarters than any other teams in the competition. Geelong has also tied three quarters, and Melbourne none.

  • West Coast have won only 14 quarters, and drawn two all season. North Melbourne have also won only 14 quarters, but drawn only one.

  • Carlton, despite sitting 5th on the ladder have only won only two more quarters than they’ve lost. Gold Coast, despite sitting 11th on the ladder have only lost three more quarters than they’ve won. Hawthorn, in 14th, have only lost four more quarters than they’ve won.
