A Top 8 position on the competition ladder this week requires a better than 50% win-loss record and a percentage above 100. All eight teams meeting those criteria have a spot in the Top 8, and all 10 teams not meeting the criteria do not.

This week I'll highlight a few interesting team results in the Scoring Shot data where we find that:

• Carlton, though 18th on the ladder, is 12th on Own Scoring Shot Conversion
• Essendon, though 11th on the ladder, is 1st on Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion
• Fremantle, though 1st on the ladder, is 9th on Own Scoring Shot Creation
• Geelong, though 13th on the ladder, is 3rd on Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion
• Gold Coast, though 17th on the ladder, is 11th on Own Scoring Shot Creation
• GWS, though 5th on the ladder, is 17th on Own Scoring Shot Conversion and 11th on Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion
• Hawthorn, though 6th on the ladder, is 12th on Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion
• Port Adelaide, though 12th on the ladder, is 4th on Own Scoring Shot Conversion
• St Kilda, though 14th on the ladder, is 8th on Own Scoring Shot Conversion
• Sydney, though 3rd on the ladder, is 14th on Own Scoring Shot Conversion
• West Coast, though 2nd on the ladder, is 8th on Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion
