The most reliable metrics for determining a team’s ladder position are the MoS Win Production Function, Quarters Won, Points Scored, and Goals and Points Conceded.

The full Team Dashboard appears below, a few of the interesting things from which are that:

  • Adelaide is still yet to win a Q3

  • West Coast have scored 59% of their points in Q2s and Q3s

  • Essendon have scored more goals than every other team except Western Bulldogs, and are equal with the Brisbane Lions

  • West Coast have recorded 58.7% of their Scoring Shots as goals, Fremantle only 44.5%

  • Collingwood’s opponents have registered 55.8% of their Scoring Shots as goals, Geelong only 45.7%

  • The teams in the first four spots on the competition ladder Melbourne, Western Bulldogs, Brisbane Lions, and Geelong, are the only teams to have outscored their opponents in each of the four quarters considered separately. (Port Adelaide is very close, but narrowly misses on Q1s)

  • Hawthorn, North Melbourne, and St Kilda are the only teams to have been outscored by their opponents in each of the four quarters considered separately

  • St Kilda, despite sitting 12th on the competition ladder, have won fewer quarters than any team except Hawthorn and Adelaide (and only as many as North Melbourne)
