Below is the latest Ranking on Dashboard Metrics table (note that I order teams based firstly on the percentage of available competition points they have accrued and then on percentage).

The gulf between the Top and Bottom 9 remains a feature and, after this week’s results, the average all-metrics rankings of the Top 9 teams range from Adelaide’s 2.1 to Fremantle’s 8.4, while those of the Bottom 9 range from Sydney’s 11.3 to West Coast’s 17.2.

The metrics currently most rank correlated with ladder position are:

Opponent Goals per Game: +0.93
Opponent Points per Game: +0.91
Opponent Scoring Shots per Game: +0.89
Q1 Performances: +0.88
MoS Win Production Function: +0.87

No metric is currently rank correlated less than +0.5 with ladder position.
