How to read this ladder

Pts & percentage: Premiership points and ladder percentage are taken from the existing season ladder.
PF, PA & margin: Points for and against are scoring totals. Margin is PF minus PA. Per-game figures divide these totals by games played.
Win % & home / away: Win rate is wins divided by games played; draws are not counted as wins. Venue records are shown as wins–draws–losses.
Goal % & missing values: Goal percentage is goals divided by goals plus behinds, including rushed behinds. It is not shot-at-goal accuracy. A dash means a value is unavailable or there are no games to calculate a rate.
