MatterOfStats 2024 : Team Dashboard for Round 10
/The latest Rankings on Dashboard Metrics graphic appears below, and reveals that team rankings on the following metrics are most highly correlated with ladder position:
Percent of Quarters Won (+0.85)
Own Goals per Game (+0.79)
Q3 Performances (+0.78)
Own Points per Game (+0.76)
Own Scoring Shots per Game (+0.75)
Q1 Performances (+0.72)
Least highly correlated are:
Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion (+0.23)
Own Scoring Shot Conversion (+0.30)
Opponent Scoring Shots per Game (+0.42)
Opponent Goals per Game (+0.45)
Opponent Points per Game (+0.46)
Q2 Performances (+0.49)
