MatterOfStats 2022 : Team Dashboard for Round 21

The Ranking on Dashboard Metrics data appears below and still shows that there is still no team that can claim to be in the Top 10 on every metric.

That’s true even for the teams currently in the Top 8 on the competition ladder where we have:

  • Geelong: 15th on Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion and on Own Scoring Shot Conversion

  • Collingwood: 16th on Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion, 11th on Goals Conceded, and 12th on Q2 Performances

  • Melbourne: 16th on Own Scoring Shot Conversion

  • Sydney: 12th on Own Scoring Shot Conversion 10th on Q1 Performances, and 11th on Q2 Performances

  • Brisbane Lions: 10th on Q2 Performances

  • Fremantle: 13th on Own Scoring Shots per Game, 13th on Own Scoring Shot Conversion, 11th on Goals Scored per Game, 12th on and on Points Scored per Game, 14th on Q2 Performances, and 10th on Q3 and Q4 Performances.

  • Carlton: 11th on Own Scoring Shot Conversion, 13th on Q3 Performances, and 12th on Q4 Performances

  • Richmond: 12th on Scoring Shots Conceded per Game, and 10th on Points Conceded per Game

Scoring Shot Conversion - Own and Opponents’ - continues to be largely irrelevant this season.

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

  • From Round 10 to Round 21, inclusive, the teams currently in position 3 to 8 on the Leaderboard have a collective record on only 36 Wins, 2 Draws, and 28 Losses. That’s only a 56% win percentage.
