AFL Grand Final
After 20 rounds, the race for the top four—and the coveted double‑chance—appears to be a three‑horse contest between Collingwood, Brisbane and Adelaide. Collingwood currently leads the ladder by 4 premiership points, with outstanding scoring efficiency that puts them in prime position to retain the minor premiership. Adelaide’s superior percentage suggests they’re generating plenty of scoreboard dominance and remain dangerous despite a slightly lower win total than Collingwood.In the battle for those critical qualifying-final spots, Brisbane on 54 points, Geelong, Hawthorn, GWS, and Fremantle are tightly bunched on 52 points. Their percentage disparities could prove decisive: Geelong and Hawthorn possess the clear edge, while Fremantle and GWS, may require strong percentage boosts or key wins in the final rounds to move into the top four. Gold Coast rounds out the top eight but will need to fend off a charging Bulldogs side—who, despite sitting ninth, hold a higher percentage than some finals teams, keeping them well and truly in contention.
If form and ladder position were frozen today, a Collingwood vs Adelaide or Brisbane Grand Final is on the cards—with Adelaide’s incredible scoring power or Brisbane’s consistent performance posing the biggest threats to Collingwood’s bid. Geelong or Hawthorn loom as potential spoilers, depending on form and percentage swings in the final rounds.
