Notes:

- Teams ranked by Proportional Points. Minimum of 18 games required to qualify for the Premiership.

- Behinds were recorded but did not count towards the final score or in determining the result of matches.

- The percentage column is an indication only. Teams finishing with equal proportional points were deemed to have achieved an equal finishing position on the final ladder.
