SEN • February 10th, 2025 11:42 am

Kane Cornes and David King have forecast the 2025 win totals for nine of the 18 AFL clubs.
On SEN Breakfast’s Fireball, Cornes and King went through Hawthorn to the Bulldogs and continued giving their over/under win totals for the upcoming season, including one lock of confidence.
Their predictions are based on the over/under lines set by Sportsbet.
See them below:
HAWTHORN (14.5)
Cornes: OVER 14.5
“I just don’t see a weakness, I think they finish top four.”
King: OVER 14.5
“It’s hard not to be impressed and excited about what they’ve done so quickly… all things say they’re in for a big year.”
MELBOURNE (11.5)
Cornes: UNDER 11.5
“Feels more of a reset, kind of rebuild, talk a lot about our younger players type of year.”
King: UNDER 14.5
“Their top six players are as good as anyone’s, I just think you can back them in.”
PORT ADELAIDE (13.5)
Cornes: UNDER 13.5
“They’re far too reliant on (Aliir) Aliir, and the key position backs just aren’t at the quality of the best sides in it”
King: UNDER 13.5
“The loss of Dan Houston is going to be tremendous, it’s going to have a significant impact on all of your ball movement, all of your aggression.”
NORTH MELBOURNE (5.5)
Cornes: OVER 5.5 (LOCK)
“If they’re not winning 6 games this year I will be absolutely staggered, this is an absolute lock it in.”
King: OVER 5.5
“If they win 5 games or less, Alastair Clarkson should walk in and say, ‘I haven’t been able to get it to happen, I haven’t done what I thought I’d be able to do with this group’ and vacate.”
RICHMOND (2.5)
Cornes: OVER 2.5
“GWS in their second year with a group of 18-year-olds won 2 games, surely this group with (Tom) Lynch, (Nick) Vlastuin, (Dion) Prestia, (Jacob) Hopper, (Tim) Taranto and (Toby) Nankervis win enough games.”
King: UNDER 2.5
“They’re not going to pinch 4 wins, they might pinch 1 or 2.”
ST KILDA (9.5)
Cornes: UNDER 9.5
“I’m going under, I think they finish bottom four.”
King: UNDER 9.5
“They’re still in the development phase for me. This group is probably an 8 or 9 win team.”
SYDNEY (14.5)
Cornes: OVER 14.5
“Dean Cox is going to give them a nice little boost, just in terms of an injection of enthusiasm and energy.”
King: UNDER 14.5
“They’re coming off extreme disappointment, we’ve seen teams plummet out of the finals series the following year with results like that.”
WEST COAST (5.5)
Cornes: OVER 5.5
“Just on the back of the new coach bounce, that gives them another win and some experience coming in.”
King: OVER 5.5
“You’d think they get to 6 wins, they’ve got that home ground advantage, you’d think the kid (Harley Reid) would go crazy in a couple of games again.”
WESTERN BULLDOGS (12.5)
Cornes: UNDER 12.5
“I’m going under, I think they will miss the eight.”
King: OVER 12.5
“Sam Darcy is the man, he could be the biggest thing in footy in 2025.”
