Top 8 — Finals qualifying positions
Ladder Insights
Top of the Table
The Suns and Dogs are both unbeaten at 3-0, leading the pack with 12 points apiece. Gold Coast's percentage of 191.0 signals they're not just winning — they're demolishing opponents. The Bulldogs have been equally clinical with dominant victories.
The Danger Zone
Brisbane sit 16th at 0-2 with the defending back-to-back premiers in serious trouble early. Their threepeat bid is under threat. Heading into Round 3 against St Kilda, a loss could spell a genuine crisis for Chris Fagan's side.
Percentage Kings
Gold Coast's 191.0% is a remarkable figure through three rounds. They've nearly scored double what they've conceded — a stat that screams genuine contender, not just early-season fluke. Their midfield dominance under Hardwick is clear.
