How does The Stats Lab predict AFL finals games?

Each side's recent scoring form (points for and against) is averaged across the last five completed games. A side's expected score is the midpoint of its attack average and the opponent's defence average, with a fixed home-ground adjustment. When the model's expected margin is under four points it calls the game line-ball rather than forcing a tip. No stats are invented: when a side lacks enough form data no lean is published.

What do AFL finals weeks mean?

The AFL finals are a four-week series that narrows the top eight teams down to the two Grand Finalists. Week 1 features the Qualifying and Elimination Finals, the series then moves through the Semi-Finals and Preliminary Finals, and the Grand Final decides the premiership. The current week's fixtures and kickoff times are listed above.
