 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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
