Will be fun to check how this goes during the year. It’s based on what’s on the ‘net. It seems to have thrown up some strange positions  

Predicted 2025 AFL Ladder - end of Home and Away

  1. Brisbane Lions - Strong squad, expected to be a top contender.
  2. Western Bulldogs - Talented list, pushing for the premiership.
  3. Sydney Swans - Young talent stepping up, finals certainty.
  4. Port Adelaide Power - Strong midfield, likely top-four finish.
  5. GWS Giants - Competitive squad, consistent finals team.
  6. Fremantle Dockers - On the rise with a solid young core.
  7. Carlton Blues - Talented but inconsistent, should make finals.
  8. Geelong Cats - Aging but still dangerous in September.

Just missing finals:

  1. St Kilda Saints - Strong squad but may fall short.
  2. Gold Coast Suns - Improving but not quite top-eight ready.
  3. Essendon Bombers - Mid-table, still developing.
  4. Collingwood Magpies - Slight decline after recent success.

Lower teams:

  1. Melbourne Demons - Struggling with consistency.
  2. Adelaide Crows - Rebuilding, not finals-ready.
  3. North Melbourne Kangaroos - Young squad, still developing.
  4. Richmond Tigers - Significant drop-off from previous years.
  5. Hawthorn Hawks - Rebuilding phase continues.
  6. West Coast Eagles - Expected to finish last, still struggling.

Straight out wrong by Ai. It has only 1 change to the final 8 from last year for a start.

Laughable process but will get the clicks . Like me foolishly

ChatGPT and other online AI often don't have up to date information or just collate and "extrapolate" from online articles.

Sometimes it even straight up makes up information.

I've tested it at times asking it to write a preview of the season or even a review of recent games. If it doesn't have the information sometimes it will provide false information rather than just say it can't due to lack of data.

Collingwood in 12th, Melbourne 13th and Hawthorn, and this is the craziest prediction, 17th!!🥸😳😵‍💫🤷🏼‍♂️  It appears to be using last year’s data and not taking into account training form, injuries, draftees, etc.

ask chatgtp to write about something youre highly knowledgeable about and see how it goes.

squiggle.com.au is a better measure but its currently based on the end of last season...

This is DeepSeek’s prediction. Which I do like a lot more than ChatGPT…

Predicting the final ladder for the Australian Football League (AFL) at the end of the 2025 home and away season is highly speculative, as it depends on numerous factors such as player form, injuries, team strategies, and other unpredictable elements. However, based on recent trends and historical performance, we can make an educated guess.

### Potential Top 8 Teams (in no particular order):
1. **Melbourne Demons** - Consistently strong in recent years with a solid core of players.
2. **Brisbane Lions** - Have been building a strong team and performing well in recent seasons.
3. **Geelong Cats** - Known for their resilience and ability to remain competitive.
4. **Sydney Swans** - A young and talented squad that has been improving steadily.
5. **Western Bulldogs** - Known for their dynamic play and strong midfield.
6. **Port Adelaide Power** - Have been consistent performers in the home and away seasons.
7. **Richmond Tigers** - Despite some aging stars, they have a history of strong performances.
8. **Carlton Blues** - Emerging as a strong contender with a mix of youth and experience.

### Middle of the Pack:
9. **Fremantle Dockers** - Show promise but need more consistency.
10. **GWS Giants** - Have the talent but need to convert it into consistent wins.
11. **St Kilda Saints** - Improving but may not have the depth to break into the top 8.
12. **Adelaide Crows** - Rebuilding phase, showing potential but not yet ready for top 8.

### Bottom Teams:
13. **Collingwood Magpies** - Struggling with consistency and player turnover.
14. **West Coast Eagles** - Aging list and struggling with form.
15. **Hawthorn Hawks** - Rebuilding phase, focusing on developing young talent.
16. **North Melbourne Kangaroos** - Also in a rebuilding phase, focusing on youth development.
17. **Gold Coast Suns** - Showing improvement but still lacking the depth to compete with top teams.
18. **Essendon Bombers** - Struggling with consistency and team cohesion.

### Final Thoughts:
The AFL is known for its unpredictability, and any team can rise or fall based on a variety of factors. The above prediction is based on current trends and historical performance, but the actual ladder could look quite different by the end of the 2025 season.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's always best to follow the season closely and keep an eye on team performances and player developments.

Hmm. I expect Hawthorn to drop, but rebuilding? They almost made the prelims. I'm assuming the prediction is that at least 12 teams finish above them. That's bold.

Sydney is in the very unusual circumstance of having a new coach despite coming 2nd last year. It's almost a cliche now that sides thrashed in GFs have a horrible follow-up year. Maybe a new coach will help buck the trend. But maybe it won't. Thus there is some chance they're not finals certainties. (Off their '22 GF thrashing they arguably shouldn't have made the next year's final (remember THAT Adelaide behind and the umpire not bothering with the replay?) so maybe this time they do miss.)

I can also see GWS off two harrowing 'snatching-defeat-from-the-jaws-of-victory' straight-set finals losses and their Mad Monday controversies being vulnerable.

And I'm sure many of us are asking if Melbourne were that inconsistent. Before the first worrying signs we were 6-3 with a 1-point loss in there. Even after the Freo debacle and Petracca's last full game we were 7-5. Often from there sides will go deep into September, such as ... I dunno ... Brisbane who were 4.5-6.5 en route to their flag.

Football is so hard to predict even computers can be made to look stupid. Hopefully at Melbourne achieve that this year.

It can get things horribly wrong. I've asked versions of it about champion 80s sprinter Placid Ark and each time not only was its answer miles off it kept giving weird new answers (some even with bizarre declaration such as PA coming 1st and 3rd in the same race(!)) Then a few days ago I asked Deepseek about actors in Brit TV shows and even after correcting it over and over it did the same 'new-wrong-answer' routine as the previous AI did.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
