reckon people are starting to overrate the hawks at this point, they come off as "one-season wonders", they'll place above tenth and will probably make finals consistently in 2-3 years but they just aren't a quality finals outfit yet, losing to port in the fashion they did is disappointing, and I reckon most teams will be eager to knock them down a peg.

Wow my ladder prediction is actually very similar. Fully agree with Fremantle to be the big risers and Port to fall. The only difference is that I have a bit more faith in Gold Coast. If their home game is to be as good as it was in 24 and their away game to improve enough to at least snag a few wins I think they'll spend a decent chunk of the season in the top 8 and contend for finals for once but might just fall short in the end.
I reckon West Coast will be the biggest improvers for 2025. New coach & new game plan, plus Owies, Graham and Baker added to the list. They won't make the Finals, but will give their fans a lot of hope for the future. It'll be interesting to see how North goes with the additions of Parker & Darling. If the Suns don't make the Finals again this season, the AFL hve to ask some serious questions about this club. Especially with the Tasmanian Devils entering the comp in 2028.
I still reckon that, at least position-wise, Freo will be the biggest improvers, going from 10th to top 4, but actual play, I reckon the eagles could improve quite a bit. North as well
I'd say the biggest improvers will be Adelaide as with the addition of 3 great players, and a forward towered by the power of Thilthorpe, I can see them making finals
Very fair assessment of North mate. Recent history tells us that my Roo's aren't anymore capable of rising higher than 15-16th. Like you said seeing is believing and much like any North fan we feel that's very much the case. But hey, off the bottom 2 would be nice but hopefully not our floor as I'd really like to see North hit 6-8 wins at least and hopefully that can result in a higher ladder finish. Anything between 12-14th would be a pass for NM, 6-8 wins at a minimum with a percentage 80-85% or better. Setting a high standard for my Roo's but we have to start being more accountable for what we serve up and I'm comfortable with the higher level of pressure.
It’s tough to pick one of the top 4 sides to drop, it happens every year however. Port have a great midfield but do have their issues as either end of the ground. Pressure continues to grow on Ken, but seem to play good footy when that occurs. Just my early thoughts.
No dixon so no more bombing it in. Have trained a handball friendly fast paced style so far this year with all of our key forwards being lead up players. Jack lukisious is a underrated addition. Plus we actually have a few gun small fwds in spp, rioli, dBi, Berry, Joe richards (horne francis) when he's there.
The Lions only lost Daniher in the the off season and got Coleman, Ashcroft, Dodee, McCarthy, Marshall and Sam Day. Too many Ins that want a slice of the premiership pie to fall out of the 8
@@drakebullet4509Brisbane have the best problem to have in football, that’s 30 players who should probably be in the squad every week. If Fagan is happy to drop guys on form then Brisbane could very well be a super scary squad

as a hawks fan, we are so overrated. People forget we played north, richmond and crows twice last season. We shouldn't of made the 8 last season but saying that i believe with our key defender pick ups and improving forward line we will sit in the 4th-6th range
We all guess our predictions early. We always get some way off and go alright with other teams Think we will see a changing of the guard. Freo Blues Hawks Giants Dogs Lions Saints Swans Port Cats Crows Suns Demons Pies Roos Bombers Eagles Tigers
A lot of fans do this - it's good fun but the only certainty is that no one will be right. This is as good as any ladder prediction but there will be issues that get under everyone's guard - who would have picked Hawthorn's performance this year for example? I look forward to your commentaries again next season which is now just over 11 weeks away.
Tigers 15. Too much talent to not improve. I agree GWS and Freo are probably fighting for position 4. I do see a scenario where Saints and Carlton are fighting for position 8 come finals time
What impact do you think player availability due to suspension will have on the Giants given the post-season kerfuffle that took place? Obviously, it's a marathon not a sprint, but surely banking early wins is important and not having those players for quite some time surely makes this difficult?
Quite a few ladder positions seem glaringly wrong but a good effort all the same . Main changes demons to top 4. To many star players with big pre season Form guides. The suns will improve on last year’ with their recruitment they will make finals.. and the lions go back ti back Massive inclusions to their list all the injured players and absolute gun.

I think west coast higher made some good additions plus new coach bounce and Harley Reid continuing to develop they can push out of bottom 4, I’d drop saints and crows quite a bit and have suns and Dogs in the 8, And Geelong are a reliable team but I don’t think they have the list for top of the ladder, I don’t think they were even really convincing last year for a top 4 side

1Brisbane 2 Gws 3 Sydney 4 Pt Adel 5 Collingwood 6 Geelong 7 Hawthorn 8 Gold coast 9 Fremantle 10 Carlton 11 St Kilda 12 Adelaide 13 Western bulldog 14 Essendon 15 Melbourne 16 North Melbourne 17 West coast 18 Richmond; Brisbane will defeat GWS to win back to back GF'S 24--25 .Both Brisbane and GWS will go unbeaten on home soil. Sydney Pt Adel and Collingwood will be so close to be considered unlucky. Geelong through to the Bulldogs all promised a clear path only 26 can repair what could have been. Essondon down to Richmond all give glimpses of a bright future and smiling faces. With the inclusion of the Devils in 27,not only does the best sport in the world continue to blossom, serious consideration for team 20 should be taking place. By the way I have as much luck choosing a winner on game day as I do for winning xlotto .🤨. There's just no justice in the world anymore!!!
I successfully tipped Richmond to finish last this year, I've tipped Melbourne to finish last next year, a bit of a large call but I'm 1/1 so far and their culture is just falling apart
Hey mate ... I'm a Cats fan but minor premier is a little overrated. But the rest I reckon the top 8 is the right teams wrong order.
@@BigGaloop15 that’s fair enough man, it’s a wide open race for the minor premiership next year to be fair. Feel like you have to overrate a team a bit when predicting for the top spot, unless it’s Brisbane.
Nooo dogs ain’t finishing 11th 9 is the lowest they’ll be
I think Freo vs Geelong grand final and Freo win the flag and Caleb Serong to win the Brownlow.
With little to none finals experience?
Melbourne in 15th? I'm not so sure about that.
Their top end talent is good to carry them up their ladder again, just have big questions on their depth
@@RilesMacca Fair enough.
Calrton will win the cup
Brisbane v Collingwood GF with the Lions going back to back
Nah coll won’t make the 8
@@MrShadowman32auyou don't know footy or you don't know footy
Cats and Hawks overdone here. Bailey smith is good but not Garry Ablett
Carlton will win the cup
Port won’t finish lower than 10th .
I reckon Melbourne will drop to bottom 2
I dont understand what people see in freo, they are above average and nothing more, they are poor users of the football
we all know that the pies will win
My grand final prediction is hawks v freo hawks win
Not again
Window missed? Dees won a flag. Unlike our swans which have taken a shit on our window for 12 years
I meant probably have missed their window to win another premiership with their current crop of players, and yeah for the swannies its been disappointing.
@@RilesMacca fair

bro explain the logic of freo in 17th ☠
😂
Hawks won't make the 8 in 2025
Geelong 😂😂
Will Ashcroft = Brownlow.
under-rating the Hawks. Will lose 1-2 games in 2025.
My early ladder prediction is:
1) Lions
2) Cats
3) Giants
4) Dockers
5) Pies
6) Hawks
7) Power
8) Swans
9) Blues
10) Dogs
11) Saints
12) Demons
13) Bombers
14) Suns
15) Crows
16) Roos
17) Eagles
18) Tigers
Saints will make the 8
Saints to make finals
LDU to leave and wokey Nth fold or relocate to Bunbury
Yeah the Club turning over profits and building on memberships is going to fold or relocate, you're a goose.
🙄 okay 🐑’ie! Lying about membership #’s,, playing home games in Bunbury ( chasing $$’s over points) Run by a lot of backward wokies! Good luck! So happy that I’m no longer a member ( after 35 years)
Brisbane premier
Too much faith in GWS, more likely bottom 4 then top 8 with evryone they lost
lions go back to back
Nope Bulldogs finish in the 8 Carlton miss out on finals
I'll remind you next year about the last part
Yes thank you, bulldogs are playing 2025 finals
Carltoñ 3
Collingwood go 2 flags in 3 years after bringing in some handy recruits
i feel like youv built this ladder off the back of 2024, if history is to say anything then this ladder is most likely 95% wrong
Yeah always want change, following the guidelines I had I felt there's at least enough for a realistic one. Still feels there needs to be more 'laughable' calls for it to be more realistic though.
Swans..GwS..Freo..waste of space..seriously...
ok boomer.
Geelong have zero chance of finishing top of the ladder
1. Brisbane
2. Geelong
3. Carlton
4. Hawthorn
5. Sydney
6. Collingwood
7. Western Bulldogs
8. Adelaide
9. Gold Coast
10. GWS
11. Port Adelaide
12. St Kilda
13. Fremantle
14. Melbourne
15. Essendon
16. North Melbourne
17. West Coast
18. Richmond
one of the worst ive seen
I know. GWS 5th? The Giants have huge mental scars after the semi final loss. They needed to review the loss one or two days after that day. Instead, they waited till the off-season and have let those scars go deeper into the players. They ain't making the 8.
Port play 13 games at Adelaide Oval and you think they will finish 12th lol.....and they are pretty good on the road unlike sides like Crows and Suns..so they will win more than 12 games .... .they will finish 3-6 range
I have them 12th too, I might be underestimating them
Poort to go down down down hahahaha
@@prolegend10000 top 4 in 2020,2021,2022 and 2024 and Rozee Butters JHF Bergmann Evans Burgoyne Lukious Georgiades etc etc all under 24 years of age..Travis Boak is the only player on the list who is over 30...think people go by finals record,this is the home and away season and Port have proven they are very good in the home and away season,not so good record come finals time
@@blade5883 up up up hahaha,you will be proven wrong again
@@Oracle550They finished 11th in 2022 then finished 3rd in 2023
