A better week for the model from a betting point of view with the model predicting significant bets on Essendon (mainly on the line), Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn. However, the model also predicted large bets on Richmond and Fremantle, which both lost, resulting in a small loss of 2% for the round.
From a prediction point of view the model was less precise than round 1, with an average margin of error of 34.2 points and it only predicted 4 winners. However, this was better than the bookmakers with only 3/9 favourites winning this week in what was an extremely hard week of tipping. The model also predicted the line correctly 6/9 times.
