Nathan Buckley and Gerard Whateley have named their top four favourites to win the flag leading into the 2025 AFL finals series.

The rankings went live via SEN’s Whateley ahead of September's first week of action.

See the favourites below:

BUCKLEY

"I'm going to put my first two tips in."

1 - Geelong

2 - Collingwood

3 - Brisbane

4 - Adelaide

"I actually really like Adelaide, I really like Brisbane, but I'm actually tipping Collingwood and Geelong in those two games.

"I could be wrong on both of those, and I probably will be, but my gut tells me that Collingwood are going to find a way - that might be a little bit of a bias - and I really like Geelong."

WHATELEY

1 - Brisbane

2 - Geelong

"I think they'll meet (Brisbane) at the start, and the end."

3 - Adelaide

4 - Collingwood
