Our tips for the 2026 AFL Premiership

Fremantle Dockers🏆 Banker

2026 Premiership Contender

$4.00

Fremantle are the AFL minor premiers and the runaway September favourite at $3.40. Their midfield engine room is elite, their forward line is the most potent in the competition, and Optus Stadium in September is one of the most intimidating finals venues in the country. They've carried their form all the way through the home-and-away and enter the finals as the team to beat.

Brisbane Lions

2026 Premiership Contender

$5.50

Brisbane have surged in the second half of the year and now sit second favourite at $4.20. Reigning premiers know how to win in September and their forward line is finals-ready. The Fremantle-Brisbane clash for the flag is the market's expectation.

Gold Coast SUNS💰 Value

2026 Premiership Contender

$15.00

Our value pick. The SUNS sit 7th on the ladder on 28pts at 7-5 with a game in hand on the three sides tied for 4th to 6th. Their 112.2% percentage is the fourth-best in the competition, ahead of Melbourne and Western Bulldogs above them. A maiden Gold Coast finals appearance is well and truly on the cards and $15.00 is the standout long-odds price for a side this well-positioned.
