The latest Team Dashboard reveals that, among other things:

  • Adelaide's opponents have converted their Scoring Shots at an amazing 64.4% so far this season
  • The Bulldogs' opponents have performed almost equally as well, converting at 64%
  • The Brisbane Lions are yet to win a quarter this season
  • Adelaide are yet to win a 1st or a 4th Quarter
  • Carlton, Melbourne and Sydney are yet to win a 2nd Quarter
  • The Bulldogs are yet to win a quarter in the 2nd Half
  • GWS have outscored their opponents by 2.6:1 in 4th Quarters

It's too early in the season to be attempting to discern meaningful trends or statistics from the MatterOfStats Team Dashboard, but a handful of results are at least interesting:

  • Collingwood has started the season with an appalling conversion rate having kicked 17.33, superior only to Melbourne's 10.21
  • In contrast, the Dogs have made the most of the very few opportunities they've had, kicking 19.9 in their two games so far. St Kilda's 25.13 is almost as good in terms of conversion rate and, more importantly, has been enough to land them two wins to the Dogs' none.
  • Fremantle's opponents have struggled to convert their chances registering a combined 10.25 across the two games.
  • What's hurt the Bulldogs is that their opponents have not struggled at all in converting their chances having kicked 33.19 so far this season
  • The Brisbane Lions have yet to win a quarter all season, while the Eagles have yet to lose one.
  • Sydney have won the 1st quarter in both of their games but lost the three remaining quarters both times.

The Team Dashboard after Round 1 is below. Most of the content is, I hope, self-evident, but here's a brief overview of the Dashboard's contents.

Competition Ladder

This section provides most of the information that you'll find in a standard, extended competition ladder, including the goals and behinds scored and conceded by each team. It also shows the teams W/D/L performance for every game of the season.

Scoring Shot Data

This section, as its name suggests, focusses on the scoring statistics for each team and includes the average number of scoring shots recorded and conceded, the conversion rate - goals / (goals + behinds) - achieved and allowed, and the ranking of each team on each of these metrics.

The far right of this section compares each team's winning percentage with that which we'd expect based on that team's scoring behaviour. It uses the Win Production Function described in this blog post from 2011.

Quarter By Quarter Performance

This final section provides details about each team's winning percentage and scoring percentage (points scored divided by points conceded multiplied by 100) in each quarter of the game taken separately.

Team rankings for each quarter are also provided, these based firstly on winning percentages, with scoring percentage used to break ties.
