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.

So how do the Eagles structure their ideal 23, and which players are ready to take the next leap? Behm and Rhys break down their full Best 23 prediction, debating key positional battles, breakout candidates, and what it all means for West Coast’s trajectory this season. 🦅

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 they have drafted over the last few years? Ross Lyon certainly has more to play with, so Rhys and Behm discuss how he can get the Saints back into finals contention this year!
