MAFL 2013 : Team Dashboard for Round 12

Here's the latest Team Dashboard (along with a reminder that I order the teams in the Dashboard based on the competition points earned as a percentage of the maximum possible for a team, given the number of games that it has played. That's why, for example, I have Essendon, who've played 12 games, behind Sydney and Fremantle who have fewer competition points but from fewer games.)

This week I'll just highlight a few things that have caught my eye from the Competition Ladder itself. Mostly they're of no particular import and are probably best described as "interesting" rather than "insightful".

  • Fremantle have scored fewer goals than any other team in the top 13 positions on the ladder. But, they've also conceded the fewest goals of any team in the competition.
  • Two-thirds of the teams in the competition have a percentage above 100, which highlights the feasting that's been going on when the top teams have played the bottom teams.
  • Carlton, in 10th spot on the ladder, have scored more behinds than any other team in the competition. They've also conceded third-most, better only than Melbourne and GWS.
  • Between them, despite making up only one-ninth of the teams in the competition, Melbourne and GWS have conceded over one-sixth of the goals and almost 15% of the behinds.
  • Amongst them, over the past 5 weeks, the bottom 4 teams have recorded just a single win from the 17 games they've played.
