MatterOfStats 2018 : Team Dashboard for Round 14
The latest Team Dashboard appears below.
This week, rather than perform any of the standard analyses, I'll just highlight a few of the statistics on the Dashboard that I think are interesting:
- Hawthorn are outside the 8 despite having an 8 and 5 record for the season.
- Eleven teams have a percentage of 100 or higher
- The Brisbane Lions, in 17th, have kicked only about 1.5 goals per game fewer than Geelong, in 7th
- The Western Bulldogs, in 14th, have registered more behinds than all but two of the teams in the 8
- Teams currently in the 8 have, collectively, only a 10 and 7 record over the last three rounds
- St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs have converted only just over 45% of their scoring shots this season
- The Brisbane Lions have yet to win a 1st term
- Gold Coast have won only a single final term
- Richmond have won less than half their third terms
- Gold Coast have a 14-1-37 and St Kilda a 14-2-36 record in quarters this season.
- Melbourne and West Coast are 35-1-16, and Richmond 35-0-17 on the same metric
- If teams earned one point for every quarter they won, half a point for every quarter they drew, and these were added to their competition points, the only changes in the ladder would be that:
- West Coast would be 1st
- Richmond would be 2nd
- Sydney would be 3rd
- Melbourne would be 5th
- Port Adelaide and Geelong would be equal 6th
- Fremantle would be 12th
- Essendon would be 13th
