Today the AFL Toyota Premiership consists of eighteen teams from 5 Australian States.

This was the second victory for the Bulldogs in sixty-two years, breaking the longest victory drought in AFL history.
The best player in the League was awarded to Patrick Dangerfield and Josh Kennedy was awarded the highest goal scorer. Both players are monsters to keep a watchful eye over.
Top Team Picks Of 2017
Greater Western Sydney with no real weak spots, young stars improving at a rapid rate and the addition of veteran Brett Deledio to the team make Greater Western a force to contend in the upcoming 2017 AFL Toyota Premiership.
The Western Bulldogs on a high from the championship last year and with seasoned veterans including Matthew Boyd, Robert Murphy, Dale Morris and newly signed Travis Cloke propel the Bulldogs into a prominent position for the AFL Toyota Premiership.
The Sydney Swans were the runners up in 2016, with a record that seems to hold true for now the Swans have reached the finals of the AFL Toyota Premiership every second year since 2012.
Based on this dooming prophecy the Swans have been discounted from the final in 2017, but with a determined team they may just break the cycle.
