 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
