“I’m all in”: Hutchison makes 2025 AFL premiership and Coleman prediction

SEN’s Craig Hutchison is picking Fremantle to win the 2025 AFL premiership.

The Dockers finished 10th in the 2024 season but were third as late as Round 20 before losing the last four games of the campaign.

Hutchison expects the Dockers to again be featuring near the pointy end of the home and away season before finishing strong and carrying that all the way through the finals come September.

He’s also picking Josh Treacy to win the Coleman after the 22-year-old kicked an impressed 45 goals across 20 games last season.

“I have a firm view on this, Fremantle is my tip for the flag. I'm all in, they'll finally get the flag they need,” Hutchison said on SEN WA The Run Home.

“They’ve got to get ruthless and relentless on winning this thing - get a little bit less pleasant and a little more hard-nosed with a bit of swagger I reckon.

“This is what I would point to, the last four games that they lost we're only by about 40-odd points in collective and they didn't have Josh Treacy, who is my tip for the Coleman medal next year.

“They also didn't have Alex Pearce (late in the season) - I spent some time with him recently in Melbourne and you can see the hunger they have in the camp … they also didn’t have Sean Darcy come back (in the last three games), so there were three talls missing.

“They add a couple of pieces including Shai Bolton, so I like them a lot.”

Fremantle begin their 2025 season with a Round 1 clash against Geelong at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday, March 15.
