Fixture 2026 Fixture

[EskimoPAFC]

Kane said a month or two ago that we'd finish 17th next year - having seen our draw, I'd say he's got egg on his face.

I mean if you think we're gonna finish 17th, then you should be tipping norf and essendon to beat us anyway haha

St Kilda might be a smoky for wildcard round. Don’t think their off season acquisitions will move the needle much.

Because they still have Ross Lyon as coach.

That and they’re just St Kilda.

 

[Festerz]

I might even head over to boo their dumb**** supporters!

The North board mods are as trigger happy as the crows.

But would be worth it.

Because they still have Ross Lyon as coach.

That’s the major drawback for the Saints, having Ross is a big negative but they still might overcome that.

If you’re going to get a ban it’s a good time to get it, nothing much going on now.
Draft will be as boring as watching paint dry.

Essendon has lost its last 14 games - if they beat us in round 2, it'll be the greatest "what happened Port?" in history.

Nice fixture.

Couldn't have asked for better double ups, but you just never know who improves but they look to be good double ups against sides we've got good track records against.

Geelong on Anzac Day night is good.

The 3 Fridays nights in a row is cool but it's ends a really tricky stretch between rounds 6-10.

The first 5 rounds are very kind to us, my only concern is that it might take a few weeks for things to gel under Carr's new game plan. Those first 5 rounds we have to capitalise on, we must bank those wins early and get on a roll, which is pretty much what the crows did this year.

Not as many regional trips.

I don't mind the arvo games at home, suits me better these days and at the start of the year when it's still warm it's quite nice.

Never playing Collingwood or Brisbane at home is getting a little baffling though, but as others have mentioned we suck against them whether at home or away so maybe we are better off not wasting a home game on them.

I'm happy.

AFL hoping to catch us napping at the beginning of the year and we drop a few games to the bottom 4 teams. There is no excuse that we shouldn't be 5-0 after Gather Round. Its the best possible draw we could hope for.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

North finally get their 'mummy's boy' game at Marvel

Nek Minnit we beat them by 11 goals.

Because they still have Ross Lyon as coach.

Isn't he also their GM now too?

 

[PAFC66]

Couldn't hope for a easier draw.
Sneaky chance at finals if we get on a run.
We need to pull a small forward out of thin air though.

 

[240volt]

Every Norf fan? Wouldn’t be enough to field a cricket team.

 

[longdonkey]

Start him at full forward and watch Norf's season over at quarter time.

 

[Greasyrhys]

My understanding is that PAFC requests that of the away games we play in Victoria, that one we play, is against Collingwood at the MCG. For the last few years it has been the largest crowd we have played against each year.

That’s pathetic given most of our home members miss out.

 

[Tibbs]

I see 9 wins like in 2025. Missing out on the top 10.

What the hell!!

Change your name to 120volt right now!

My take on the draw ...
Good: 14 wins
Bad: 12 wins
Ugly: 9 wins

If we end up playing top footy under the new coach and system, then 15 or 16 is a possibility.

Hey Tibbsy I’ve got us on 12 wins after seeing the draw.

Most miserable? What could be worse than spending 12 months on North Melbourne's list?

You can only hope, right???

 

[Dutchy5150]

They better get the AFLW team to play us then... They would be a better chance to beat us than the men.

 

[Lefti93]

This will be his 4th season away from the club. Lmao

I mean going to the game

 

[ctpower]

Kane setting up the Shoulda Kept Kenny posts early.

He is a vindictive toxic man

 

[EskimoPAFC]

We're gonna finish top 4. Lids off. Believe.
