Buckley and Whateley’s top four flag seeds after Finals Week 2
SEN • September 15th, 2025 4:00 pm
And then there were four.
Nathan Buckley and Gerard Whateley have seeded the remaining four sides to win the flag in the wake of the Semi-Finals.
Hawthorn will take on Geelong and reigning premiers Brisbane will meet Collingwood in this weekend's Preliminary Finals.
See the favourites below:
BUCKLEY
1 - Geelong
“I would suggest the Cats are the biggest favourites,” said Buckley on SEN's Whateley.
“So I’m going to put them at 1.”
2 - Collingwood
“I’m going to tip Collingwood (to beat Brisbane) so I’ll put them at 2.”
3 - Brisbane
“The marginal game is the Collingwood v Brissie game, so I’ll put the Lions at 3.”
4 - Hawthorn
“The Hawks are at 4 as I think the Pies v Lions game is a legitimate coin toss.
“I just think the Cats, who are a little bit rested, will be able to get the job done against the Hawks.”
WHATELEY
“I’ve gone 1 v 2 and 3 v 4.
“But whose footy do I most like right now?”
1 - Geelong
2 - Hawthorn
3 - Brisbane
4 - Collingwood
