The final Ranking on Dashboard metrics data appears below, and shows that the strongest rank correlations with final ladder positions are associated with:

Percentage of Quarters Won (+0.91)
The MoS Win Production Function (+0.85)
Opponent Scoring: Goals (+0.80)
Opponent Scoring: Points (+0.79)
Scoring Shots Conceded (+0.78)
Scoring Shots Generated (+0.73)
Own Scoring: Goals (+0.73)
Own Scoring: Points (+0.73)

It’s very much been a season where defences have, at the margin, prevailed.

The weakest rank correlations with ladder position are associated with:

Own Scoring Shot Conversion (+0.21)
Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion (+0.51)

Based on this data, Adelaide and Geelong were clearly unlucky to miss finals, and St Kilda and GWS to a lesser extent perhaps a little lucky to make finals.
