The Ranking on Dashboard Metrics data appears below and shows that every team in the Top 8 on the ladder is in the bottom 8 on at least one metric, and in the bottom 6 on at least one metric for all but one of the teams.

Ranking on Scoring Shot Conversion and Q2 performances are, relatively speaking, unimportant in terms of teams’ ordering on the ladder.

The full Team Dashboard appears below and shows that, amongst other things:

• Brisbane Lions has converted at 63% but allowed their opponents to convert at only 53%

• West Coast are still yet to win a Q2

• GWS have scored 63% and Carlton 59% of their points in the 1st half of games

• West Coast have scored 61% and St Kilda 58% of their points in the 2nd half of games. West Coast have also scored only 17% of their points in Q2s where they, consequently, have only a 34 percentage

• Melbourne have more than doubled their opponents’ score in Q1s, as have St Kilda in Q3s

• Brisbane Lions, Fremantle, and Melbourne are the only teams to have outscored their opponents in each of the four quarters taken separately (Geelong would join the list but for their 100 percentage in Q3s)

• Adelaide, Hawthorn, North Melbourne and West Coast are the only teams to have been outscored by their opponents in each of the four quarters taken separately

• Fremantle, who are 3rd on the ladder, have scored fewer goals than every other team in the Top 8, and fewer also than four other teams outside the Top 8 (and just equal to a fifth)

• Five of the teams in the Top 8 have a 0 or 1 game winning streak

• Only four teams have a losing streak of more than 1 game, and they are the last four teams on the ladder
