AFL Finals Scenarios Ahead of Round 24

The 2026 AFL season is nearing its conclusion with one round left, leaving many outcomes still undecided.

Fremantle and Sydney have secured the top two spots, but the competition for the remaining top four positions is fierce, with teams ranked third to seventh vying for a double chance in the finals. The final standings will be significant for determining the venues of the upcoming matches, especially for those aiming to play in Melbourne.

Additionally, the scheduling of an NFL game between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers at the MCG on September 11 adds complexity to the AFL finals arrangements.
