Very interested in this table but with stricter criteria. Do you have access to the data to restrict it to, say, minimum 10 or 15 contests? Considering that would eliminate almost every one of this top 20 that would seem to be quite a big effect.

Pardon my ignorance - what is a clearance - it is only from centre bounce or any ruck contest around the ground?
So Grundy is 6th best in the AFL for one on one contests (with a mininum of 9 wins in a one on one contests)?

Stats from Rounds 6-9 inclusive
The Lions's forward line has been one of the AFL's best in the last 4 weeks, ranking highly in most of the offensive categories. Conversely the Swans have held firm with their long-time strength in defence so Saturday's game will be an intriguing clash between 2 different styles.

This is such a great peice by a swans supporting afl stats blogger. It seems that Sydney and Franklin, and now Adelaide with francou as forwards coach) are taking a lot more shots from outside 50 than most other clubs. And that in a lot of ways it mirrors the sort of scoring efficiency changes that have occurred in high level basketball. Super super good read on the state of the game.

I get that it's speculative, but perhaps we are not behind the times after all in our game style... perhaps Horse is actually an innovator! Lol!
I think it also speaks to what makes buddy such an amazing player. Not only is he just stupidly good from way outside 50, but I think a big point of this was taking a shot, even not a particularly good one, is still often better than attempting a pass.I get that it's speculative, but perhaps we are not behind the times after all in our game style... perhaps Horse is actually an innovator! Lol!
Even though buddy isn't the most accurate forward, he does seem to produce and make more attempts than anyone else. And though sometimes he kicks 1 goal 7, he often kicks 4 goals 3 etc. Other players might be more accurate, but they take on less shots too, and as this article shows the average score of taking on even insane shots is still often higher than the pass to a better positioned player you would intuitevely think would be the higher percentage option.

Agree. Now that I know what I might be looking at, I'll keep an eye on it. Although I won't get to many games this year, so I'll be relying on the telecast which is iffy at best imo...

Carlton, hard workers for not much reward.
The forward press, time in forward half, goals from turnovers, these are the buzzphrases in the football of 2018. It is all about locking the ball in your forward half and creating enough pressure on the opposition to cause a turnover and eventually kick a goal from. The last 2 premiers were very good in this department and most of the other teams are trying to follow suit.
Carlton, whether by design or ineptitude, don't follow this game plan very well. They are a very contested team, high in contested possession numbers (3rd) and tackles (3rd), but have generated the least amount of turnovers in the league (18th) and not surprisingly also struggle in scoring goals from opposition turnovers. (18th)
At the other end of the scale, they've committed the 5th lowest amount of turnovers in the league but have let in the most goals from turnovers (18th). When the ball is turned over in Carlton games, whether by Carlton or by their opposition, they are clearly the worst team in reacting to this event.
Kade Simpson, who most experts acknowledge as one of the best half back flankers in the league, has conceded the most goals from a turnover in the league.

There are two Table 4s, is the first one a percentage of goals scored in each game and the second one the average number of goals per game? Richmond scoring 80.5% of their goals from opposition turnovers seems high, but plausible given how quickly they spread.
My second question: how are goals from opposition turnovers defined? Does it refer to goals scored directly from a turnover, such as an ill-directed handball in defensive 50, or a goal that resulted from a turnover anywhere in the preceding passage of play, such as a poor forward 50 entry that results in a 'slingshot' style rebound from the half-back line?

I'm glad someone reads these! The first table 4 should be titled Opposition turnovers. So when teams play Richmond they average 80.5 turnovers per game.
The second question is that for statistical purposes, the game is broken down into chains of play. A chain is the unbroken set of plays from start to finish. Examples include:
- centre bounce to ball up;
- boundary throw-in to goal;
- kick-in to boundary throw-in
Therefore as long as there was no interrupted break (i.e. stoppage) between the turnover and the goal, the goal is counted as coming from the turnover. The other possible sources of scoring are from a stoppage (further broken down into centre bounces, throw-ins and ball ups) and kick-ins.

What about a turnover, that results in another turnover without any stoppage in between?
Does that count as a goal from a turnover? or is it the double knock-on in league, where you ignore the second turnover (as if you'd never turned it over in the first place).

I wouldn't have thought so, as then it wouldn't be an unbroken set of play. It's a bit different from a double knock-on in league, as here you're interested in whether the most recent turnover resulted in a goal.
For example, if a passage of play went turnover 1 --> turnover 2 --> turnover 3 --> turnover 4 --> kick inside 50 --> mark --> goal, the goal would be counted as coming from turnover 4, as turnovers 2 & 3 represent breaks in the chain between the first turnover and the goal, so you couldn't really say that the goal came from the first turnover. At least that's the way that makes the most sense to me as an AFL watcher.

Sorry should have added chains only apply to one team. So a turnover is the start of a new chain.

Pros
- They love to kick the ball, leading the AFL in kicks and kick-to-handball ratio.
- They are efficient with ball in hand, leading the AFL in kicking efficiency, marks (both contested and uncontested) and are last in turnovers conceded.
- Their efficiency extends all the way to their pack forward line, where again they lead the competition in goal per inside 50 and are 2nd in goalkicking accuracy. Not surprisingly they are also 2nd in goals kicked.
- Led by Jeremy McGovern (1st), they are the 2nd leading team in intercept marks, just behind premiers Richmond.
- Hard to find any clear weaknesses in this team. The closest I could find was related to their dominance in the ruck. Despite having a strong ruck duo in Naitanui and Lycett, they statistically don't make use of this advantage as much as they should be. Despite ranking 2nd in hitout % won (Swans 14th), they rank just ahead of the Swans in clearance % (clearanaces / opposition clearances)

Well only because I've cherrypicked their strengths. We are slightly better than them in defence but both teams rank in the Top 6.
Kicking efficiency is the key one for me imo (or kick to handball ratio for that matter) it is the same style hawthorn beat us with but we do cover that a lot better now.

Richmond = Pressure
Despite ranking in the bottom half (14th) for disposals, the Tigers have no issue with getting the ball inside 50 (2nd) and subsequently converting these changes into goals (2nd). This is because they are the leading side (1st) in the AFL for goals from opposition turnovers, with their vaunted pressure, particularly in the forward half, clearly the best in the AFL. They are 5% better in forward half pressure points than the 2nd best team (Melbourne), and have laid the most tackles inside 50 (1st).
Looking at the statistics, a traditionalist might conclude that Richmond have a weak ruck division with the Tigers ranking low on key ruck figures such as hitouts (18th), hitouts to advantage (17th) and clearances (17th). However, this is not a concern of great import to the Tigers's players and staff as they back their players to win the ball back and hit the opposition hard on the counter - the Tigers are by far the number 1 in the AFL in intercept possessions.
