IF bad kicking is bad football, then West Coast has been terrible this season.
Champion Data's complex goalkicking index, known as Kick Ratings, has revealed the Eagles were the second-worst team at shooting on goal during the opening five rounds.
Remarkably, battler Melbourne has been easily the best team in front of the sticks.
The formula rates goalkicking accuracy by looking at which goals players should kick and also factors in attempts that go out on the full or fall short.
The measure takes into account the type of shot, distance, angle and pressure from opponents.
The Eagles were ranked 17th, ahead of only Gold Coast, in the ratings. Fremantle was also in the bottom three.
West Coast has kicked 17.42 in losses to Carlton and Port Adelaide in the past two weeks.
Midfielder Scott Selwood is the Eagles' biggest culprit, with the worst rating of any player to have had at least five shots on goal, while the omitted Jamie Cripps had the best rating.
Cripps has an expected accuracy rating of 46.6 per cent for his eight shots this season, but nailed them 62.5 per cent of the time giving him a rating of +15.9 per cent.
Josh Kennedy is easily the best kick for goal among West Coast's main forwards, with a rating of +15.4.
Callum Sinclair (-25.1), Dean Cox (-18.6), Jack Darling (-11.9) and Mark LeCras (-1.1) all have negative ratings.
Essendon's Ben Howlett has the top rating for any player in the competition with at least 10 shots for the season.
Dockers skipper Matthew Pavlich, who played the first three games before being sidelined with injury, has the worst rating in the AFL at -28.9 per cent.
