That rating is built only from finished games (2026 season games): how much a
team wins or loses by, adjusted for how strong the other side was. It means
Melbourne are about
4.7 points
better than an average AFL side
on a neutral ground, which puts them ranked 7 of 18.

Across AFL who-wins prices we measured on
21 days in the last month,
bookmakers built in about
$4.95
of every $100 staked. It is not a fee you see; it is the reason both sides
of a close game pay less than double your money. We publish the daily measure at
the Margin Index.

How these numbers are made
- The record counts finished games from our results table for the current season.
- The rating is the same one behind our
power rankings: average winning
margin, adjusted for how strong each opponent was, with big blowouts capped so one
flogging cannot own a rating. Zero is an average side. A club needs three finished
games before it gets a rank.
- The next-game score is our model's projection, published before the game.
Every past projection stays on the record at
predicted scores.
