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:

Own Points per Game (+0.89)
Own Scoring Shots per Game (+0.88)
MoS Win Production Function Expected Wins (+0.87)
Percent of Quarters Won (+0.86)

It’s nice to see some sort of normalcy being returned to as the MoS Win Production Function once again becomes highly predictive of ladder position.

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

Eight of the Top 9 teams on the MoS Win Production Function sit in the Top 9 spots on the competition ladder. Adelaide is the outlier.
Sydney are 1st on all but three metrics

Three are more teams with winning streaks of two games or more outside the Top 8 on the competion ladder than inside it
Only three teams have a losing streak extending beyond two games: Collingwood, West Coast and Richmond
