    This years was poor. The new one is lazy, but at least my own side is in a marquee match-up, and as a neutral I have some interest in Coll/Freo and Port/St.Kilda

    2026 AFL Fixture

    I'd be interested in Port and St.Kilda. I expect the Saints to be decent and Port to be horrible, but by the time Gather Round comes that won't fully be realised yet, so it could end up being a big result in the context of both sides seasons.

    They are his rankings. His official phantom will be next week I believe? Usually goes pretty close. Still a twat though.

    2026 AFL Fixture

    Excellent result. Shouldn't be too hard to get a ticket. The major disappointment being that Geelong and West Coast are playing at Norwood (where we stay at a mates place) on the Sunday. Wouldn't even go to that game if I got free tickets.

    I actually feel like they need to discourage people from attempting to get tickets to EVERY game anyway. We frustratingly missed out on seeing the Dogs vs Brisbane at Norwood, but there were people posting on here about how they were leaving games super early just to get to the start of another...

    Could always be two Adelaide Oval games on the Sunday? Have they ever said they won't do this? Would be silly to fixture Hawthorn away from AO in my opinion. We're in a pretty sweet spot for bigger attendances now we're challenging again, and have a strong following in South Australia.

    That's why the pre-finals bye was introduced though. If 7th can't move up and higher heading into final round, and they won't get another rest for the season, I guarantee they'll be trotting out a VFL standard side.

    Needs to be Adelaide Oval or we've been massively screwed over.

    What do you mean no tanking? If you're 7th and can't move any higher heading into the final round, what do you think coaches are going to do at team selection?

    News New Jumpers for 2026

    Listed as a training top, but retails at $134.99, and we ended up wearing last years 'training guernsey' a bunch of times in games, including in a semi-final. I'm more confident the above COULD get an on-field run over this though...

    Did a bit of a deep dive on Riley Onley. I liked the clean, one-touch ability at ground level and his athleticism for his size. As well as looking like a bit of a clearance beast. My goodness his composure and skills by foot needs work though. Actually reminded me a bit of a Connor Nash...

    Don't mind the big Hawk due to the nostalgia, but we just won a semi-final in the gold with brown monogram. I sincerely hope it isn't being scrapped as an alternate playing strip.

    Not to be throwing shade here, but please do your own research on Farrow IF you're only taking Davo's critique on board. We all see things differently. I'm not saying he's a guaranteed star, but his AFL attributes are plain as day to see. Sometimes all players need are the fundamental tools...

    Since they've also come good again, surely Adelaide isn't an option for Tassie. Would attract a crowd in Melbourne. Freo have openly said they hate playing in Tassie, and last year requested not to. Probably leaves West Coast, GWS, North and maybe St.Kilda again as Launnie match ups?

    AFL Introduces Wild Card Round

    The second last game of the season (which would have been the last game barring a freak weather incident), was a nailbiter where the difference between winning and losing was 3rd position and 8th position. One side eventually won the flag. The other came from 8th to make a preliminary final...

    AFL Introduces Wild Card Round

    The side that finished 8th this season won 15 games, spent the entirety of the year in the top 8 and only had a 10 point loss in the final game decide if they ended up 3rd or 8th. The punishment for that 10 point loss is beyond unreasonable with this new rule introduction.

    AFL Introduces Wild Card Round

    Being in bed as the winning sides were presented premiership cups, and not being able to actually immerse yourself in the game because it might wake sleeping children is a fantastic way to celebrate the biggest game of the season is it?

    AFL Introduces Wild Card Round

    The 4th best team finished 8th this season. They would have been required tl win 3 games consecutively just to make a preliminary final though. Never would have stood a chance under this new model. What is rewarding? What is it addressing? It's absolutely pointless.

    T20I 5th T20 Australia v India 8/11 1845hrs @ the Gabba

    I gave up on T20I's when Australia 'hosted' that farcical world cup a few years ago. It was an Indian run event using Australian venues and half the games were washed out. I couldn't even tell you who made the eventual final, let alone who won the thing.

    I still feel like we used this approach in 2021. We basically had our choice of Ward, Gibcus and Amiss. We'd just drafted DGB, so Gibcus didnt feel right. Amiss was a good shout, however, our midfield was DIRE at that point. We didnt know what Newcombe was about to develop in to at that time...

    Didn't somebody point out that the SA teams are working through playing all the Vic teams for Gather Round? If so, we've already been ticked off. The performance nearly turned me off following the club, but we ticked it off.

    News AFL rank hypocrisy on gambling

    That has always been my argument too. Is it simply because one has ruined people's lives for way longer? The ability to gamble 24/7 from your phone is far more problematic than visiting a venue and using a physical machine.

    Yeah, if Essendon vs Melbourne can get Saturday night billing at Adelaide Oval, it's a no-brainer that Hawthorn vs the Dogs is given a very strong spot. Historically it's never really mattered who is the form team when we play them too. Any result feels possible. Is usually of interest to...

    They've added journeymen and nothing else. No draft hand to help them. Will lose Butters in 12 months. No more special Ken performances when they play out of their skin for the coach. I don't know why people aren't discussing their very real demise. Carr has nothing to work with. People are...
