Free kick Hawthorn!
The Hawks are flying high on the AFL Free Kick Ladder, leading the comp after eight rounds plus Opening Round in 2025.
Home ground advantage hasn’t done much for the non-Victorian clubs. Port, West Coast, Freo, Adelaide, GWS and Sydney all sit in the bottom eight for free kicks.
Free kicks don’t need to be even, but getting the rub of the green can make all the difference in a close one.
Here’s how the ladder looks:
- Hawthorn (+58)
- Carlton (+33)
- Gold Coast (+32)
- Brisbane Lions (+23)
- Essendon (+20)
- Western Bulldogs (+16)
- Melbourne (+15)
- Collingwood (-2)
- Geelong (-3)
- St Kilda (-3)
- Sydney (-4)
- GWS Giants (-7)
- Adelaide (-14)
- Richmond (-21)
- Fremantle (-22)
- North Melbourne (-38)
- West Coast (-40)
- Port Adelaide (-43)
