Just days after claiming its third consecutive premiership, Brisbane (unsurprisingly) is the unanimous favourite to win the 2027 flag.
The Lions defeated Fremantle in Saturday's thrilling contest in front of a packed MCG by seven points after facing a deficit of 17 points with four minutes remaining.
Brisbane's premiership window is well and truly open, and its flag hopes won't be dwindling any time soon, especially given its list profile.
Dual Brownlow Medallist Lachie Neale is set to exercise his free agency rights and depart, but the Lions group is expected to remain together.
As for the Dockers, they are tipped to be around the mark, but Hawthorn has leapfrogged them on a few markets.
The Hawks are set to welcome Ben King and Zach Merrett to the club.
The Western Bulldogs have stormed into premiership calculations after Zak Butters nominated the club as his preferred destination.
Butters will be joined by Jordon Butts at the Whitten Oval.
As per, Sydney and Geelong are also in the top six following their impressive 2026 campaigns, while Collingwood, Adelaide, Carlton and Melbourne make up the top 10.
Early tipsters aren't tipping Gold Coast to bounce back after a disappointing year.
St Kilda is also expected to miss September football once again.
