The Ranking on Dashboard Metrics data appears below and doesn’t much show anything newly startling, aside perhaps from the surprisingly low correlation between teams’ ladder positions and their ranking on Own and Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion.

It really has become a game now that’s mostly about generating Scoring Shots for yourself, and depriving your opponents of same rather than worrying about the quality of those shots for yourself or for your opponents. The fact that the teams 11th, 12th, 15th and 16th on Own Scoring Shot Conversion, and 10th, 13th, 14th and 18th on Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion all sit in the Top 8 is about all you need to know.

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

• GWS have scored 59% and Carlton 58% of their points in the 1st half of games

• West Coast have a percentage of only 45 in Q1s, and 51 in Q2s

• Melbourne have more than doubled their opponents’ score in Q1s

• Brisbane Lions, Melbourne, and Western Bulldogs are the only teams to have outscored their opponents in each of the four quarters taken separately

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

• Melbourne have won more quarters than any other team in the competition. Sydney and Richmond have won second-most

• West Coast have won only 12 quarters, and drawn two. North Melbourne have won only 12 quarters and drawn none.

• Carlton, despite sitting 5th on the ladder have only won two more quarters than they’ve lost. Gold Coast, despite sitting 11th on the ladder have only lost two more quarters than they’ve won. Hawthorn, despite sitting 15th on the ladder have only lost four more quarters than they’ve won.
