MatterOfStats 2017 : Team Dashboard for Round 17
The latest Team Dashboard appears below and this week I'll confine the analysis to a handful of observations:
- The correlation between the teams' competition ladder rankings and their rankings on scoring shot conversion is just +0.14.
- Richmond (5th) have registered only 5 more goals than the Brisbane Lions (18th), and fewer goals than every other team in 1st through 10th, as well as Collingwood (13th), Gold Coast (14th), and the Kangaroos (17th).
- Melbourne (7th) are the only team in the Top 8 that's conceded over 200 goals.
- The records since Round 7 of the teams currently in the Top 8 are
- Adelaide: 6-0-4
- Geelong: 6-1-3
- GWS: 5-2-3
- Port Adelaide: 6-0-4
- Richmond: 5-0-5
- Sydney: 9-0-1
- Melbourne: 6-0-4
- West Coast: 5-0-5
Collectively, excluding Sydney, the teams currently in the Top 8 have only a 58% winning rate since Round 7.
