The 2026 Champs carnival kicks off THIS WEEKEND!
Huge preview of every team involved + A cheeky ladder prediction, with a surprise team at the top!

Ethan Herbert is really starting to flourish up forward, great timing before the Champs carnival.
Heβs kicked 3 goals and taken 3 contested marks at half time against West Adelaide.
Expect a pretty even ruck split with Herbert and 207cm Jobe Janeway for SA.
Nicholas Staropoli is starting to generate buzz as we approach the Mid-Season Draft.
Here is a snippet from a conversation with @Dylfollowsdraft from early April when I first caught wind of his interest from AFL clubs.
@danbomber@ScooterMcNeice@Dylfollowsdraft Would be a very interesting decision to take him with pick 2! There are plenty of other options we would also have a level of interest in.
Some MASSIVE performances in SA and WA that could impact the National AND Mid-Season Draft.
Jack Leys ππ€
Mitch Harris π₯
Jake Eime π
Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves π
Heath Mellody βοΈ

Some HUGE performances in SA18s win over SA20s today.
Mitch Harris was named best on ground, a genuine brick wall down back.
Jack Leys was roaming up and down the wing all day.
Kodah Edwards was awesome in the guts.
Lincoln Pitt, Jake Eime and Cain Florence all impressed.
VFL: over-age Calder Cannon Nick Staropoli to play with Essendon against GWS on Sunday. The half-back has made great progress this season in the Talent League.
