After a fascinating off-season and with another year of development into their young core, the expectations surrounding the West Coast Eagles are starting to shift from pure rebuild to real progression in 2026. With emerging talent pushing for spots and a handful of experienced heads guiding the group, the intrigue around how the best mix will look has never been higher.

So how do the Eagles structure their ideal 23, and which playe...

After a massive off-season in which the Saints went all in - bringing the likes of Tom De Koning, Jack SIlvagni and Sam Flanders into the club - the expectations for the Saints hasn't been higher since the late 2000s! With those raised expectations comes more media attention, with the Saints being arguably one of the biggest stories of Season 2026, so how will they choose to blend these new faces with the talented youngsters th...

Richmond have made massive changes to their list over the last couple of years, with Adam Yze implementing his own brand and style into what was an historic era. As players slowly get phased out, David King's 'Ferraris' might be able to get Richmond back to their glory days, so how will they line up to best develop this young playing list? Behm and Rhys discuss exactly who makes and who misses Richmond's best 23 for...

A new era begins under Josh Carr for Port Adelaide, as a questionable off-season brings in a slightly altered list for him to work with. The big question surrounding the Power may not be their on-field success, but circled around Zak Butters, who may leave by the end of the year. What can Carr do to persuade Butters to stay? Behm and Rhys see what team can take Port Adelaide back to the heights they saw under Hinkley, and potential...

North Melbourne continued their struggle in 2025, unable to finish above the bottom 4 for a 6th straight year, but could 2026 finally be the time the Roos rise again?

What a season it was for the Suns, as they won their first ever AFL final, managing to beat Freo in WA. Their off-season also looks a success, bringing in the likes of Petracca and Jamarra Ugle-Hagan as well as top picks, whether you like it or not. What does this mean for the more experienced players who might slightly decline? Does Damien Hardwick have some trouble on his hands deciding who should be given games? Behm and Rhys tr...

A disappointing half in the Grand Final put an end to a fantastic season once again for Geelong, but the off-season arguably felt even more disappointing. No Curnow, no Marshall meant Chris Scott has a very similar side to play with, so Rhys and Behm dissect who exactly might break through and make themselves a name for Geelong in 2026.00:00 We Picked GEELONG CATS' 2026 Best 23!

An extremely disappointing end to 2025 has left a sour taste in many Fremantle fans’ mouths, with calls for Justin Longmuir’s head being repeated since their finals departure. With only Judd McVee added to an already stacked and highly talented playing group, Behm and Rhys don’t have much difficulty picking their best 20 players, but those last 3 might be the make-it or break-it in what could be Longmuir’s final season.00:00 What D...

With a season riddled by injuries and littered with debutants officially over, that strangely wasn’t the major talking point around the Bombers. Zach Merrett’s failed departure has left an extremely young squad with some much-needed maturity, but how does Brad Scott attempt to organise the best possible lineup? Rhys and Behm try to pick the players who they believe will best suit this young squad heading into the right direction.
