    Alternate AFL ladder: If only they'd kicked straight

    Emma Quayle has looked at clubs kicking inaccuracy and compiled a ladder showing, what if they kicked straighter.

    Full story: AFL season 2016: What the ladder would look like, if teams had kicked straighter for goal

    Interesting we wouldn't be much better off:

    Adelaide 50
    Geelong 48
    Sydney 48
    Western Bulldogs 46
    GWS 44
    Port Adelaide 44
    Hawthorn 40
    West Coast 40
    North Melbourne 36
    Richmond 30
    St Kilda 26
    Collingwood 24
    Melbourne 24
    Carlton 22
    Gold Coast 20
    Essendon 14
    Fremantle 12
    Brisbane Lions 8

    Hawks have taken their chances and are currently on top, but would drop down if other clubs were more accurate.

    Interesting. Seems that we're not the only ones blowing our chances.

    Of that list Port Adelaide is probably the most damning. The ladder remains essentially unchanged otherwise.

    We'd go backwards??

    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    We are equal fourth from the bottom for goal accuracy .
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
