2026 AFL Preliminary Finals Recap: “Would’ve Been the Bahama Quadrangle” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This title refers to both Nickelodeon nostalgia and umpiring. Go figure! Prelim weekend delivered easily the best combined action of our seven years watching this sport, and we go over all of it, plus other newsworthy items and postmortems for the losets.
2026 AFL Semi-Finals Recap: “Identity Theft Is Not a Joke” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Millions of families suffer every year… just like [insert quantity] of Rams fans suffered after their team neglected Australia for as long as possible, despite it being their designated market.

2026 AFL “So You Didn’t Crack the 10,” Part 2: “Bleed Someone Else’s Blood” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our postmortems for the teams that missed out on finals continue here, including Benjamin's long-awaited lashing out against a whole lot of folks in blue and gold. We also provide reasons why each of the 10 finalists can and can't win the flag; stick around until the end for that!
