Ox's way too early 2026 AFL predictions

David 'The Ox' Schwarz has revealed his way too early AFL predictions ahead of the 2026 season.

Just weeks into pre-season, it's almost impossible to call who rises, who falls and who wins it all for the season ahead, however, Ox has had a crack at calling all of the Premiership, the Wooden Spoon, the risers, sliders and the Brownlow Medallist months prior to next year's action.

Save the link, whack it in your notes, this will be one to return to come the final weekend of September.

Premiership

Fremantle

Wooden Spoon

Port Adelaide

Biggest riser

“Essendon. They cannot be as injured as last year; they are going to have to improve.”

Biggest slider

Melbourne

Brownlow Medal

“Jai Culley! If he doesn’t win it, Zak Butters in a wooden spoon side.”
