About these AFL ladder predictions

The 2026 AFL ladder predictions are generated by simulating every remaining home-and-away match through the prediction model. Each team gets a projected wins, losses, draws, premiership-points total, and percentage. From the simulated standings, every team is assigned probabilities for finishing top 4 (double-chance), top 8 (any finals), winning the minor premiership, making the grand final, and winning the AFL premiership. Wooden-spoon odds are tracked at the foot of the ladder. After every completed round the predictions update, actuals replace projected results, and the team-strength model adjusts via 6-domain EWMA learning.
