    Well, Iā€™m not complaining (yet) even though we're not getting paid enough frees šŸ˜‰

    Geelong, wow tells you everything you need to know.

    St.Kilda, still can win a game with a plus 23 differential. šŸ˜‚

    I'm surprised that the top 8 sides are all Melbourne based sides, normally the crowd affirmation for interstate sides is worth a bit.

    Geelong averaging 10 free kicks more a game than their opposition is bs.

    The 2026 Free Kick Ladder - Round 4

    Geelong (+44) has had four games with free kick differentials of +9 or more to comfortably sit on top of the standings.

    The Cats have received 102 frees and given away only 58.

    St Kilda (+23) sit second but are +21 behind the Cats, while the Western Bulldogs (+18) are third just clear of Richmond (+10) who have often been at the other end of the FK Ladder.

    As mentioned earlier, Vic teams make up the top eight with Essendon (+8), Hawthorn (+3), North Melbourne (+2)and Melbourne (+1) all with positive differentials.

    Down the bottom is poor old GWS (-23)who finished second bottom last year. It's back to regular programming for a Dimma-coached team with Gold Coast (-18) second last, then West Coast (-14) third bottom after finishing last year in 15th on the FK Ladder

    SA pair Port Adelaide (-12) and Adelaide (-11) make up the bottom five.

    The eight interstate clubs all have negative differentials.

    Make of that what you will.

    Brisbane (-3), Sydney (-6), Carlton (-6), Fremantle (-8) and Collingwood (-8) make up the middle table but all have differentials in the red.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFLā€™s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.Ā

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      Iā€™ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we wonā€™t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything youā€™d like to ask or say below and weā€™ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics youā€™d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
