Our tips for the 2026 AFL Premiership

Fremantle Dockers🏆 Banker

2026 Premiership Contender

$4.00

Fremantle are the runaway ladder leaders at 12-1 after Round 13 with the best percentage in the competition at 147.9%. 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. The Dockers have shortened from $5.50 a fortnight ago to $4.00 — and the market still has more to give.

Sydney Swans

2026 Premiership Contender

$5.50

Sit 2nd on the ladder at 11-2 with a 147.3% percentage that splits hairs with Fremantle’s 147.9%. Sydney’s defensive system is elite and Chad Warner and Isaac Heeney give them a midfield capable of winning a final against anyone. The most credentialed challenger to Fremantle’s favouritism at $5.50.

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.
