SEN • April 28th, 2025 11:45 am

The Fireball team have pulled together their top five rankings in the wake of Round 7.
David King, Kane Cornes and Josh Gabelich have rated in order from 1 to 5 the teams who are in best shape for a premiership tilt.
“It’s sort of like a previous model we used to call The Seedings except there’s five instead of four,” King said on SEN’s Fireball.
See their five below:
Kane Cornes
1 - Brisbane
“The Lions at 1, the reigning premiers.”
2 - Hawthorn
“My Hawks at two. I’m holding firm on the Hawks, I think they’re a very good side.”
3 - Gold Coast
“Gold Coast are a weapon. They can win it this year.”
4 - Geelong
“No panic stations, they’re going to play a lot of games at home and will turn things around.”
5 - Collingwood
“I’m just nervous about the injuries that may pile up. I’m just holding on that.
“But they’re in good form, they’re in the five.”
David King
1 - Brisbane
“The Lions are in autopilot. They’re so experienced, they’re so well-drilled, they are numero uno.”
2 - Collingwood
“The experience of Collingwood. They don’t even need to talk to the coach, don’t need any communications, don’t need any rotations, we can handle this ourselves.”
3 - Fremantle
“I loved the way they played on the weekend.”
4 - Geelong
“A hiccup on the weekend, all is not lost.”
5 - Hawthorn
“At five, Hawthorn who are building.”
Josh Gabelich
1 - Brisbane
2 - Collingwood
3 - Geelong
4 - Hawthorn
5 - Gold Coast
