Western Bulldogs offensive/defensive/xChainScore over the season. Offence needs work, but solid enough defensively and gave themselves very good starting points.

I read the graphs, from first post down, as:
- from the 'chains' we created (which he differentiates based on location and method i.e. turnover, contested possession, intercept mark) we had a below average ability to convert them into scores
- from the 'chains' that opposition created, we were above average in restricting scores (especially after the first four rounds)
- the combination of those two graphs gives a 'cumulative expected score' which has us ahead of expectation

I'm not sure what any of that actually TELLS us beyond what we know - could infer that we don't convert decent opportunities into goals due to poor ball movement, but our zoned defence and numbers around the ball means we can often restrict teams from hitting us on their disposal chains.

Correct, and shows the differences by round across the season and how it changed.

I see now there another layer of subtle humour in the eagles colours, good one Axeman

Wc did kick us out of finals but we have ourselves to blame for most of the season
