Scoring sources from the first round of AFLW Season 10

With the first week of AFLW in the books it’s worth spending some time looking at what we can get out of the early data available.

I’ve started off by trying to identify score sources. This is relatively easy to get for the Men’s competition, but faces some extra challenges in the Women’s. This is still a work in progress, so take with a grain of salt. Because the sources are new, there’s no prior year comparison available.

Overall we can see scores from kick-in even more negligible in AFLW than AFLM, and we also see a bigger prevalence of scores from turnover.

Let’s now look at it on a game-by-game basis:

Port are the only team to have scored a goal from kick in, with Katelyn Pope’s last quarter goal.

Essendon and Melbourne had the most scoring events from turnover, while the Sydney v Richmond match saw both teams scoring as many times from stoppage as from turnover.
