MatterOfStats 2025 : Team Dashboard for Round 19

/

Below is the latest Ranking on Dashboard Metrics table, which still shows a sizeable gap between the top 9 and bottom 9 teams when looking across all metrics (note that I order teams based firstly on the percentage of available competition points they have accrued and then on percentage).

The metrics currently most rank correlated with ladder position are:

  • Opponent Points per Game: +0.95

  • Opponent Goals per Game: +0.95

  • Percent of Quarters Won: +0.93

  • Opponent Scoring Shots per Game: +0.92

  • MoS Win Production Function: +0.9

  • Own Points per Game: +0.82

  • Q1 Performances: +0.8

  • Own Scoring Shots per Game: +0.8

  • Q3 Performances: +0.78

  • Own Goals per Game: +0.77

That least rank correlated with ladder position is:

  • Opponent Scoring Shot Conversion: +0.46
