The latest Rankings on Dashboard Metrics graphic appears below, and reveals that team rankings on the following metrics are most highly correlated with ladder position (which, once again is determined firstly by percentage of possible competition points accumulated, and then by percentage):

Q3 Performances (+0.81)
Own Scoring Shots per Game (+0.79)
Percent of Quarters Won (+0.79)
Own Points per Game (+0.77)
Own Goals per Game (+0.74)

Least highly correlated are:

Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion (+0.06)
Own Scoring Shot Conversion (+0.19)
Opponent Goals per Game (+0.29)
Opponent Points per Game (+0.32)
Opponent Scoring Shots per Game (+0.39)
Q2 Performances (+0.39)
Q1 Performances (+0.47)
Q4 Performances (+0.48)

The fact that only five metrics have correlations above +0.7 and eight have correlations below +0.5 is very revealing about just how different this season is, with teams ranked as low as 17th on some metrics sitting comfortably in the Top 8 on the ladder, and teams in the top 5 on some metrics sitting uncomfortably in the bottom half.

A review of this table and the detailed Team Dashboard below reveals:

Carlton are 14th on Opponent Goals and Points production
Essendon still has only the 12th-highest percentage and are 11th on Own and 10th on Opponent Scoring Shots per Game
Port Adelaide are 17th on Own Scoring Shot Conversion and 16th on Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion
Western Bulldogs are 3rd on Own Scoring Shot generation and 7th on Opponent Scoring Shot generation
Brisbane Lions are 5th on Own Scoring Shot generation and 2nd on Opponent Scoring Shot generation

Adelaide’s opponents have converted at only 47%, and Sydney’s at 45%
