  • Melbourne: 16th on Own Scoring Shot Conversion

  • Collingwood: 16th on Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion, and 11th on Win Production Function Expected Wins

  • Sydney: 11th on Q1 Performances, and 12th on Q2 Performances

  • St Kilda: 12th on Goals and on Points Scored per Game, 12th on Q1 Performances, and 13th on Own Scoring Shots per Game and Own Scoring Shot Conversion
