Which teams can’t be written off? And which ones can’t hold a lead late?
This weekend, the AFL’s best and worst final-quarter teams go head-to-head when Geelong face Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.
The Cats have been the strongest finishers in 2025, going 8-1 in final quarters with a percentage of 232. That means they are outscoring opponents by nearly three goals on average in the last term.
