A team's rating is Footy Forecaster's quantification of a team's strength, based on that team's past results, with the value representing by how much the team would win or lose if they played an opponent of "average" strength at a neutral venue. For example, a rating of +10 indicates that a team would defeat an average opponent by 10 points at a neutral venue. Positive ratings indicate a winning propensity whilst negative ratings indicate a losing propensity.
AFL Ratings & Rankings: After 2009 Round 7
1 Geelong +38.62
2 St Kilda +38.31
3 Hawthorn +8.66
4 Wstn Bulldogs +7.42
5 Carlton +4.21
6 Collingwood +1.15
7 Sydney +0.21
8 Port Adelaide +0.04
9 Brisbane -4.39
10 Essendon -6.60
11 Adelaide -7.46
12 Fremantle -10.93
13 Kangaroos -11.75
14 Richmond -12.10
15 West Coast -18.08
16 Melbourne -27.30
This indicates that Geelong would beat us by .31 of a point if they played each other right now. And it is based in history - not just the past 7 games. [from what I can gather it plots wins for and against and the margins rom March 21 2006]
