The 2025 AFL Preseason Ladder is back and the Dees are doing nicely thank you.

We had to refine the system a little to cater for the Indigenous All Stars game and the three way miniseries in Queensland. We improvised for the latter game played over two periods equivalent to half a game so we awarded half points resulting in this ladder.

West Coast Eagles	1	0	0	62	26	238.5	4
Sydney Swans	1	0	0	125	68	183.8	4
Melbourne	1	0	0	117	70	167.1	4
Indigenous All Stars	1	0	0	108	65	166.2	4
Gold Coast Suns	1	0	0	97	58	140.6	4
Essendon	1	0	0	77	58	132.8	4
Adelaide	1	0	0	103	79	130.4	4
Geelong	1	0	0	106	86	123.3	4
St Kilda	1	0	0	69	58	119.0	4
Brisbane	½	½	0	76	73	104.1	2
Carlton	0	1	0	58	69	84.1	0
Hawthorn	0	1	0	86	106	81.1	0
Port Adelaide	0	1	0	79	103	76.7	0
Western Bulldogs	0	1	0	58	77	75.3	0
Collingwood	0	1	0	58	89	65.2	0
Fremantle	0	1	0	65	108	60.2	0
North Melbourne	0	1	0	70	117	59.8	0
GWS Giants	0	1	0	68	125	54.4	0
Richmond	0	1	0	26	62	41.9	0

Note: Despite the fact that Kozzie Pickett is serving a three match suspension, he's figured in two wins to date.

How good is it to see Collingwood winless and languishing near the bottom of the ladder?

 

Pfft, we’re only third??? Geez, I can’t wait for the season proper to start. 😉

2nd highest points for…

That’s a great sign.

We scored 90 points vs Freo which is going to win you a game of footy far more often than not in modern day footy, whereby scores are lower than yesteryear.

For example last year, in 7 of our 12 losses the opposition didn’t kick 90 points.

Sounds obvious but  it’s so important that we apply scoreboard pressure. None of this scoring 50 points nonsense against Port and going down by 2 points because we let the opposition off the hook.
