澳式橄榄球联赛本赛季还剩两轮常规赛，18支球队的季后赛前景已初现轮廓[1]。弗里曼特尔领跑积分榜，最好成绩可排名第一，最坏也能稳居第二[1]；悉尼锁定第二名位置[1]。
霍桑队的成绩波动较大，最好可冲至第三，最差可能跌至第五[1]。布里斯班队也在争夺前四的行列中，最好和最差成绩分别为第三和第四[1]。墨尔本教练Steven King表示，"我觉得在我们的状态好的时候，可以战胜任何对手"[1]。与此同时，卡尔顿在临时教练Josh Fraser的带领下表现强劲，在过去11场比赛中赢下9场[1]。
西部牛仔队和圣基尔达队面临被淘汰出前十的风险[1]。
With two rounds of the regular season remaining, the race for a spot in the Australian Football League's finals series has tightened considerably.[1] Fremantle holds the strongest position, securing either first or second place regardless of remaining results, while Sydney has locked in the second spot.[1]
The competition for the remaining top-four positions remains wide open. Hawthorn could finish anywhere from third to fifth, while Brisbane is similarly constrained between third and fourth place.[1] Melbourne's coach Steven King has expressed confidence about his team's prospects, stating: "I feel like we can beat anyone on our day."[1] Carlton, under interim coach Josh Fraser's guidance, has won nine of its past eleven matches, keeping the club's finals hopes alive.[1]
However, not all teams remain in contention. West Coast Eagles and St Kilda face genuine risks of elimination from the top ten, leaving their final opportunities for playoff qualification in serious jeopardy.[1]
