Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera picked up where he left off and shows a new role which will give the opposition headaches. The Bombers were defiantly not disappointing, just run out of legs at the back end of the game. Some Positive signs for Brad Scott and his Bombers. Murphy Reid stared in his new Midfield role with a teaser of what he could do this season, after his Rising Star Winning Season in 2025. Luke Jackson showed his versatility and why he will benefit from the New Ruck Rule and how many goals can Josh Treacy kick this season? And if this was West Coast's best available....

Footy is back and boy are we excited!We finally got our first look at Jagga Smith, and we weren't disappointed. Smith showed class, calmness with the ball, with inside game and scoreboard impact as well. He is everything that the Blues have been lacking and 'he has set the standard high. Sydney & GWS played in heavy rain conditions, while Melbourne & Richmond's game was abandoned due to lightning. The Western Bulldogs came out the box firing and never looked losing against the Hawks and kicked a big score even without Sam Darcy. Will Jai Newcombe be the first to fall victim to the Dump tackle suspensions? The Ball is the AFL's Court to set the standard that they want to abide in 2026.

Champion Data statistics have shown, that the only way to be a successful side in 2026, you need to move the ball fast. The Top 2 sides for this in 2025, funnily enough were Grand Finalists Brisbane Lions and the Geelong Cats. While not always, but most of this ball movement will start from the back half of the ground, which is why you're best ball users are best suited to half-back.With this Statistic being brought to attention by Champion Data's Daniel Hoyne, I set myself the task of picking a player from each club who I would give the Keys to. The "Keys of Attack" refers to the player who I believe is the player who has the best abillites to kick start the fast ball movement for each club. Listen along as we pick all 18 (or maybe more) players, some notable and some niche. Let me know in the comments who you would give the "Keys of Attack" to from your club.
