There will be a lot of opportunity in 2026 for some very talented young AFL footy players. We go through the top pick from each team, with a few caveats because some young guns are so good they speak for themselves.

There is nothing happening in the world of AFL right now, unless you count Lachie Neale being a naughty boy as something... which we don't. So while we wait for the business to begin, we instead scour Reddit to get some fun tales to read and react to.

The 2026 season is still months away, so what better time to chuck out some way to early and likely completely wrong early predictions for how we think the year will shape up.

Jesse and Liam are back to discuss the 2026 AFL fixture with one of them putting together a very haphazard (though he thought it was smart at the time) ranking system on each teams fixture difficulty. @cmperfect_afl - Insta/YouTube#footy #australianfootball #aussierulesfootball #podcast #australianfootballleague #afl #aflfixture #sports

Sometimes, your best laid plans for a podcast just need to be parked so you can take a moment to get some things off your chest. Wildcard nonsense, Opening Round contradictions and other things Jesse feels compelled to vent about.
