MatterOfStats 2014 : Team Dashboard for Round 17

Things of note from this week's Team Dashboard:

• Port Adelaide and Collingwood, though both currently in the Top 8, have both lost four of their last five games. In Port's case that includes the last three in a row.
• Amongst the teams outside the Top 8 only three - West Coast, Richmond and the Western Bulldogs - recorded victories this weekend, and only Richmond has a sequence of victories extending beyond this weekend.
• Adelaide rank 4th in terms of Scoring Shots registered per game, despite sitting 10th on the competition ladder, whilst Fremantle rank 7th on this metric despite sitting 2nd on the ladder.
• The Roos have the second-worst Conversion rate in the competition though they sit 6th on the ladder, and the Cats are 14th on this same measure but 4th on the ladder.
• Hawthorn, 3rd on the ladder, are 14th in terms of Opponent Scoring Shot conversion, while Melbourne, 3rd-last on the ladder, are 2nd in terms of this metric.
• Geelong, Gold Coast and St Kilda are the only teams to have won 1 or more games more than they should have, based on their Scoring records and the Win Production Function. Adelaide, Carlton, Port Adelaide, Richmond and West Coast have all won 1 or more games fewer than they should have on the same basis.
