Adam Simpson and Gerard Whateley have named their top four seeds following Round 15 of 2026.

Simpson and Whateley will each rank the four teams they have the most confidence in going forward on a weekly basis throughout the year.

The seedings will be updated as the season goes on via SEN’s Whateley.

See the seedings below:

SIMPSON

1 - Fremantle

2 - Sydney

3 - Hawthorn

“Fremantle, Sydney and Hawthorn. I can't see that changing.”

4 - Adelaide

“What they are doing is going to hold them in good stead.”

WHATELEY

1 - Fremantle

2 - Sydney

“There's a world in which Sydney has a misstep or two with the draw that they've got, and Hawthorn challenges them.”

3 - Hawthorn

4 - Adelaide

“I've got a really elaborate triple threat structure for four, that involves Brisbane and Geelong. Brisbane play Sydney, and then Brisbane plays Geelong.

“Because I have to put somebody there at the moment, as much as I would really like to put Carlton there, Adelaide will sit fourth for the time being.”
