After watching the Crows kick themselves to two dreadful losses in two weeks, I'm interested to see which clubs have the best goals to points ratio over the season so far.
Can someone work it out???

No wonder the Crows are sulking, they're only converting at 97%....

Wonder what the percentages would be from set shots only, without rushed/snaps muddying the stats.

Next one for you OS...
Who's the most accurate kick (you'd have to set a minimum, or some smartass would come out with a player who's kicked 1.0)
