Ranking the teams on the basis of what the Win Production Function suggests their winning rate should be given their scoring shot performance across the season, only one change would be made to the composition of the current top 8 on the ladder:  the Dons would drop to ninth and the Roos would grab 8th.

Further, within the top 8 there'd be only one change of order with the Blues taking 4th at the expense of West Coast; the five remaining teams would be ordered exactly as per their position on the competition ladder.

Further down the ladder the shuffling would be only a little more vigorous. Apart from Melbourne, who'd drop from 12th to 15th on the strength of their scoring shot performance, and the Dogs, who'd climb from 13th to 10th, no team would change position by more than one spot.

So, on the basis of just two pieces of data about each team, scoring shot differential and conversion differential, we could replicate the current competition ladder ordering to within one spot for every team bar two of them, neither of them in finals contention. Seems the Win Production Function does a good job of distilling the key aspects of team performance for season 2011, as it has done for many seasons in the past.

Anyway, here's the latest Team Dashboard.
