FWC: SUI vs BIH, 6am on SN Extra“Fires everywhere”: The team under the most pressure in Round 15
SEN • June 18th, 2026 6:30 pm
SEN’s Sam Edmund has named the five teams under the most pressure heading into Round 15.
Edmund’s pressure meter ranks teams from 1-5, with number one having the most pressure on them and the most to lose heading into the round.
Check out Edmund’s pressure meter below.
1 – Gold Coastvs Hawthorn – People First Stadium – Friday
“Number one, Gold Coast,” Edmund told SEN's Dwayne's World.
“Hard to look past them at the moment, as an under-pressure organisation.
“Lots of expectation, first finals win last year, big player exchange window win with Christian Petracca coming in in the offseason.
“Had been well-set, and now have lost their last three and fires seemingly needing to be put out absolutely everywhere.”
2 - Hawthornvs Gold Coast – People First Stadium – Friday
“They've been a bit out of sight, out of mind given the bye.
“But, they had their issues before the weekend off, lost three of their past five.
“Horrific in front of goal in that loss against the Dogs, and if they want a top four spot, which is - the expectation, I would have thought - then they've really got to get going now.”
3 - Collingwoodvs Port Adelaide – MCG – Saturday
“Only won one of the past five, and sit 13th. They've won half a game more than Carlton, so it's been a slog for the Pies.
“Lose this one against Port, and the season is pretty close to being cactus.”
4 – Western Bulldogsvs St Kilda – Marvel Stadium – Sunday
“Very similar to the Saints. 8-6, looked flat against Adelaide after a big, emotionally driven win over the Hawks the week prior.
“Injuries have been cruel, but they've been finding a way... well, they had been finding a way.
“They're in the logjam now, so they've just got to keep their head above water. They have to keep winning.”
5 – St Kildavs Western Bulldogs – Marvel Stadium – Sunday
“Got to keep winning. 6-8, hard travel fixture early but now the back half, they don't leave the state.
“They won last week, they've got the Dogs this week and then Essendon and Port to come.
“A chance to get a real foothold in the top 10 potentially, and to be honest, expectation wise, I think that's where most of us had them at a minimum.”
