And just like that, the 2026 Australian Football Revolution season comes to an end, and Grand Final week certainly delivered some massive scores!

In the Original League, the Digital Dingoes finished off an incredible finals campaign with a huge 201 to 167 victory over Hodgey's Heroes, adding the premiership to their Champions League title and completing a brilliant end to the season.

Over in the Super League, The Thylacines showed exactly why they finished on top of the ladder, producing a monster 217.5 to defeat the Major Warriors' 189.5. After already claiming the AFR Cup, the Thylacines finish 2026 with another trophy in the cabinet.

And perhaps the biggest story of all — both 2026 league premierships are heading to the Watson household!

Steve and I wrap up the two Grand Finals, celebrate our 2026 champions and put a bow on another season of AFR.

Preliminary Final week is done, and the 2026 Grand Finals are locked in!

In the Original League, the Digital Dingoes knocked out Minor Premiers The Mighty Bucks to book a Grand Final showdown with Hodgey's Heroes. Over in the Super League, the Major Warriors have come back from the dead, defeating the Ashy Convicts to earn their shot at The Thylacines.

We also had the Champions League Final, where the Digital Dingoes defeated Hodgey's Heroes 178 to 161.5 to be crowned the 2026 Champions League Champions. And with those same two teams meeting again in the Original League Grand Final, can the Dingoes do the double or will the Heroes get their revenge?

Steve and I wrap up all the action and look ahead to the biggest weekend of the AFR season.

We're another week deeper into the finals, and we now know the first two teams that will be playing for the 2026 premierships!

In the Original League, Hodgey's Heroes continued their brilliant finals run, knocking off Minor Premiers The Mighty Bucks 144 to 137.5 and booking themselves a place in the Grand Final. The Bucks aren't done yet though — they'll get another chance next week when they face the Digital Dingoes, who kept their season alive with a 160.5 to 145 victory over the Natas Adulterers.

Over in the Super League, it couldn't have been much closer. The Thylacines survived an absolute thriller against the Ashy Convicts, winning by just half a point, 159 to 158.5, to secure their place in the Grand Final. The Convicts now get a second chance against the Major Warriors, who eliminated the Mighty Atoms in another nail-biter, 144.5 to 143. Two Super League finals decided by a combined two points!

We also crowned the 2026 AFR Cup Champions, with the Thylacines defeating the Mighty Atoms 159 to 143 to add some silverware to an already impressive season.

Steve and I break down all the finals action, the heartbreak and ridiculously close finishes, before looking ahead to two massive Preliminary Finals: Mighty Bucks vs Digital Dingoes and Ashy Convicts vs Major Warriors. Win and you're into the Grand Final. Lose and 2026 is over.

The 2026 Finals Series is underway, and Week 1 delivered plenty of drama as four teams kept their premiership dreams alive while four others saw their seasons come to an end.

In the Original League, Hodgey's Heroes sent an early warning to the competition with an impressive win over the Digital Dingoes, earning themselves a blockbuster Semi Final against the Minor Premiers, The Mighty Bucks. Meanwhile, the Natas Adulterers kept their season alive by eliminating the Surrey Scorpions, booking a sudden-death clash with the Dingoes for a place in the Preliminary Final.

The Super League was just as entertaining. The Ashy Convicts upset the Mighty Atoms to earn the right to challenge the Minor Premiers, The Thylacines, while the Major Warriors survived a thriller against the Sons of God, holding on by just three points to keep their premiership hopes alive.

We also crowned our 2026 STANDA Cup Champions, with the Flashing Phoenixes producing a superb performance to defeat the Natas Adulterers 191.0 to 171.0 in the Grand Final. After an impressive knockout campaign, the Phoenixes finished the job in style to claim this year's STANDA Cup.

Steve and I break down all the finals action, celebrate the STANDA Cup champions, and look ahead to another huge week where Grand Final spots will be on the line.

The home and away season has officially come to an end, and now the focus shifts to the finals! While the top five in both the Original League and Super League had already been decided heading into Round 18, there was still plenty on the line with finals positions and matchups yet to be locked away.

This week, Steve and I take a look back at the final round of the regular season, discussing the results that shaped the final ladders and how each league will enter September. We preview the opening week of the finals, where every game becomes do-or-die for the teams still chasing premiership glory.

Congratulations to the Mighty Bucks and the Thylacines, who finished on top of their respective leagues to claim the Minor Premierships and a well-earned week off. Meanwhile, the remaining finalists now turn their attention to some mouth-watering Qualifying and Elimination Finals.

The regular season may be over, but the best part of the year is only just beginning. Bring on the finals! 

It's hard to believe we've reached the final round of the home and away season! While the top five is locked in and we know which teams will be playing finals, there's still plenty to play for.

The biggest question now is who plays who? With several crucial matchups across both the Original League and Super League, this weekend's results will determine the finals bracket and could have a huge impact on each team's path to premiership glory.

Steve and I preview all the key games, discuss the possible finals permutations, and look at which teams have the most to gain—or lose—as the regular season comes to an end.

If last week was all about the movers and shakers across the leagues, then this week was about consolidation.

With the finals getting closer, teams had the chance to strengthen their positions, keep the pressure on those around them, or make the road to September just that little bit harder for themselves.

Steve and I take our usual look across the Original League and Super League, breaking down the results and what they mean for the finals race as the season reaches the pointy end.

The Original League ladder just got a whole lot tighter! Thanks to upset wins from the Sons and the Chargers, the race for 5th spot has been blown wide open. With finals just around the corner, every result now carries enormous weight, and several teams still have a genuine shot at extending their season.

Over in the Super League, the Cygnets turned up in a big way, refusing to let the Warriors have it easy. And in one of the closest finishes of the year, the Thylacines edged out the Watsons by just 0.5 points—a result that could prove pivotal in the run to the finals.

Steve and I break down all the action from both leagues, discuss the biggest performances and disappointments, and look at how this week's results have reshaped the finals picture. We also check in on the latest from the Cup competitions as they continue to gather momentum.

With the home-and-away season winding down, the pressure has never been higher. One win, one loss—or even half a point—could be the difference between playing finals and packing up for the year.

It’s yet another week of heartbreak for Caple, with another result that won’t be forgotten anytime soon. At this point, it’s becoming a regular segment of the podcast!

But this week, the spotlight is firmly on the run into the finals. With only a handful of rounds remaining, we take a look at where each team sits, who controls their own destiny, and which clubs are going to need a few results to fall their way if they’re to feature in September.

As always, Steve and I break down the latest action from the Original League, Super League, and the Cup competitions, while discussing the key matchups that could shape the finals picture over the coming weeks.

Steve and I have been talking about how the ladders are taking shape over the last few weeks, and this week is no different. As we head into the business end of the season, every win, loss, and percentage point is becoming increasingly important.

The Scorpions continue to set the pace with a two-game lead, putting themselves in a commanding position. Meanwhile, in the Super League, the pressure is really starting to build on the Sons of God, with every result carrying major implications for their season.

With the trade deadline arriving this week, we also discuss whether any coaches are prepared to roll the dice and make a last-minute move. Will we see a blockbuster trade designed to propel a contender towards glory, or will teams back in the squads they've already built?

As always, we break down all the action from the Original League, Super League, and the latest results from the Cup competitions.

The race to finals is heating up, and the window to improve your list is about to slam shut.
