 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?

    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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
