MoSHBODS changed the ranking of nine teams this week, which included swapping Fremantle into 3rd ahead of Hawthorn, dropping Western Bulldogs down two places to 11th, dropping Port Adelaide down two places to 14th, and elevating GWS two places into 12th.

Its Top 3 are now Cats, Swans, and Dockers.

MARS moved 11 teams, with the only multi-spot movers being GWS up two into 10th, Brisbane Lions down three into 6th, and Collingwood down three into 11th. The Lions’ fall allowed the three teams below them to each rise by a spot, which moved Hawthorn into 3rd.

2026 - Round 11 Results - The Streak Continues

/

Again only five early-week favourites won this week, which meant that two-thirds of the Head-to-Head Tipsters scored exactly that, the exceptions being MoSHPlay_Marg’s four, Consult The Ladders’ three, and Home Sweet Home’s eight.

Bookie Knows Best and ENS_Linear remain joint-leaders on 76 from 99 (76%), one tip ahead of MARS_Marg, and a further tip ahead of the RSMP twins.

The all-Tipster average score came in at 5 from 9, taking the season-long figure to 71.6 from 99 (72%).

2026 - Round 11 : Overs/Unders

/

MoSHBODS’ average total this week is about as close to the bookmakers’ as it has been all season, despite individual forecasts being over 10 points different in two of the nine games.

The Thursday Hawthorn v Adelaide game is particularly interesting as MoSHBODS is predicting a final Total more than two goals higher than the bookmakers', despite the weather forecast portending no precipitation.

2026 - Round 10 Results - Mixed Fortunes

/

In sharp contrast to last week where all nine favourites took the four points, this week only five of them did.

However, with Home Sweet Home the lone contrarian Head-to-Head Tipster, that meant little for the Leaderboard, which still sees Bookie Knows Best co-leading with ENS_Linear and now on 71 from 90 (78%), one tip ahead of MARS_Marg, and a further tip ahead of the RSMP twins.

The all-Tipster average score came in at 5.2 from 9, taking the season-long figure to 66.6 from 90 (74%).

If MoSHBODS won’t go the bookmakers …

MoSHBODS’ average total this week is only two points below the bookmakers’, but that’s come about from the latter lowering their expectations to 181 points per game, down a full goal per game on last week. MoSHBODS is actually forecasting a higher score than the bookmakers in three games, albeit that two of those might be slightly rain-affected.

2026 - Round 9 Results - All The Favourites

/

Although, by definition, it is always the most likely single outcome, it is nevertheless very unlikely that all nine early-week pre-game favourites are successful, but that is what we saw this week. Roughly, based on the TAB bookmaker’s own estimates, the pre-round probability of this was about 4.4% or 1 in 23.

That result was, of course, good for Bookie Knows Best, which remains co-leader of the Head-to-Head Tipsters with ENS_Linear and now on 66 from 81 (81%). They are one tip ahead of MARS_Marg, and a further tip ahead of the RSMP twins.

The all-Tipster average score came in at 7.9 from 9, taking the season-long figure to 61.4 from 81 (76%).

2026 - Round 9 : Overs/Unders

/

The rate at which MoSHBODS changes its base team scoring assumption over time has been optimised using roughly the last decade of scoring data. That methodology has seen MoSHBODS increase its base assumption by about 0.5 point per team or 1 point a game across the course of 2026. That rate of adjustment is feeling a little pedestrian at the moment.

Possible evidence for this is that, this week, MoSHBODS is, on average 8-points per game lower in its average totals forecast compared to the bookmakers, and that MoSHBODS’ forecasts are below those of the bookmakers in all nine games considered individually.
