How the Projected Ladder is calculated

The Projected Ladder keeps real results before your start round and applies your winner picks to the rest of the home-and-away season. Clubs are ranked the same way as the live AFL ladder: premiership points first, then percentage. That ranking is your choices, not a forecast.

A win is worth 4 premiership points and a draw is worth 2. Percentage is points for ÷ points against × 100.

From 2026 the AFL uses a Final Ten system. The top six go straight into finals. Seventh plays tenth and eighth plays ninth in Wildcard Finals. The higher-ranked Wildcard winner meets sixth and the lower-ranked meets fifth in the elimination finals, then the final-eight bracket (1 v 4, 2 v 3) continues as it has since 2000. The AFL set this out when it introduced Wildcard Finals and in its wildcard finals explainer.

AFL fixtures, scores and ladder figures come from Squiggle. See how we source data. Remaining results are your picks. This page is not betting advice.

Frequently asked

How does the AFL Final Ten system work?

From 2026, the top six at the end of the home-and-away season go straight into finals. Teams finishing 7th to 10th play off for the last two September spots: 7th plays 10th and 8th plays 9th. The two winners join the top six, and those eight then play off in the finals system used since 2000 (1 v 4, 2 v 3, 5 v 8, 6 v 7).

What is the wildcard round?

Wildcard Finals replace the old pre-finals bye with an extra week of finals. Seventh plays 10th and eighth plays 9th. The winners progress; the losers' season is over. The top six have that week off.

How is AFL percentage calculated?

Percentage is points for divided by points against, multiplied by 100. Clubs are ranked by premiership points, then by percentage when points are equal.

Who plays who after the wildcard games?

Fifth plays the lowest-ranked wildcard winner and sixth plays the highest-ranked wildcard winner. Those opponents are set by the outcome of both wildcard games, not just one.

Are wildcard finals official finals?

Yes. The AFL has confirmed wildcard games count towards official tallies of finals games.

Can I share my prediction?

Sharing is coming soon. Your picks stay on this page for now.

Does this page forecast the real AFL finals?

No. The Projected Ladder is your choices applied to the remaining games, not a forecast or a tip.
