The arrows mean very little, it's only the movement this week, so it basically means your last game was better or worse than the game you played 41 games ago that just dropped off the list of your last 40 games and was replaced by last week's game. But even less than that because it only changes if the players position in the order changes. Andy Otten has an up arrow this week, that's how meaningless it is.
did you look at his graph trajectory? who said anything about an arrow
 
That appears to only have three games in 2016 included. He was awarded around 20 points in total over the last two weeks, which is higher than what appears to be his current average.

the AFL and Accuracy have never been partners in crime...
 
DMac 34 pressure acts against the hawks... tells me the hawks played through him whenever they could...
pressure acts stat continues to look very dubious in my opinion...

interesting to see the trajectory of DMac's graph going south (click on his name)
pretty much everyone else bar VB & DMac going up...

actually have a look at Cheney and B Smith graphs too - on the slide...
don't worry though, everything is alright

The official AFL ladder may show you where your side sits, but we've decided to delve a little deeper with our weekly AFL Power Rankings.

Of course wins and losses are important, but other elements are also at play in trying to work out how clubs are really travelling.

Each week, we'll assess every team's form, upcoming draws, health, X-factor, attack and defence to determine a final ranking.

Legend

Form: The higher the number, the better a team's recent form.

Draw: The higher the number, the easier a team's upcoming draw.

Fitness: Determined by the number and quality of fit players available. A list in "good" shape is ranked around a 7; a list missing three or four best-22 players might be considered a 3 or 4.

X-Factor: The number and quality of genuine match-winning players.

Attack: Potency of the team's offence.

Defence: Ability of the team to prevent the opposition from scoring

It doesn't really explain how they come up with a number for each category though.
 
Some stats showing who has played who this season ... using CURRENT ladder position:

Also who has played teams in the top 4 / top 8:

round5_3.png

Things I notice:
  • None of the current top 4 teams have played each other yet
  • North / Bulldogs have played no-one in the scheme of things (ranked 15/17 hardest so far) - their tests are yet to come
  • Geelong have played easy teams but have a very cushy draw overall - also play the tougher teams at home on the way in
  • Hawks have done well to sneak the wins they have - sets up their season
  • Gold Coast have had the easiest start in the comp
  • West Coast have had it very tough away, very easy at home
  • Adelaide have had the second toughest opponents so far, but get the 5th easiest run home
  • Port are sitting about right
  • Collingwood's position might get worse (played 1 team in the top 8, 16th easiest so far)
  • St Kilda have had a tough opening to the season and should go up the ladder from here
  • Richmond are in a similar amount of trouble as Collingwood (played 1 team in the top 8, 14th easiest so far)
  • Carlton and Brisbane have had a tougher start than I thought. Brisbane have played 3 of the top 4 in the first 5 rounds!
  • Freo have no easy stuff in sight, with the 2nd toughest draw for the year and currently no wins !!
Really need to wait until round 10 for these things to become clearer, I still don't really know where the clubs are ranked against each other. So much can change ladder position wise after even just one round.
 
Our defence is not leaking!

Our midfield is leaking I50's. Not the same thing


You are correct. Our team defence needs to improve.

This chart is good but it is a small sample size, only 5 rounds in, it will be more accurate after the halfway point of the season.
Sydney look fantastic, they started the year off smashing a horrible Collingwood then Carlton.

How many wins do you think we can get ? More than 14? Haven't had a decent look
 
The games coming up against Geelong and Western Bulldogs loom large. We win those two and we can push for a top 4 with our run home.
2 from our next 3 will be ok. 5-3 after that first 8 is a very good result and sets us up for top 4.

We won't play Hawks, SYD or WB again. 5 of our last 7 at home with the only games I would pencil in as losses being WCE away and Cats away.

Of course they are still winnable games but history suggests they are very tough.

maybe we lose the close ones because they are generally when the umps get involved in deciding the outcome...
 
Jeebus leave the umpires alone. Or maybe we aren't good enough.

if it was Port you wouldn't even think of the umpires. You would be calling them ( as I would ;) ) chokers
