The final 8 home and away games for season 2026 are as follows, the current top 8 are in bold Drouin Dropbears (11-3, 2nd) vs Black Swamp 29ers (12-2, 1st) - the minor premiership decider with the 29ers ahead by 1 win and 6 points scored on the season who ever wins this will be almost certainly crowned as the #1 seed heading into the 3 week knockout finals series Mt Thirsty Boozers (10-4, 5th) vs Sherwood Magpies (11-3, 3rd) - if the Boozers win they will finish top 4 for the 3rd consecutive year, while the Magpies are looking to improve on last seasons 5th place, and may finish as high as second with a win combined with a Dropbears loss Maralinga Atoms (6-8, 10th) vs Walpole Woylies (10-4, 4th) - the Woylies will look to lock in a 4th successive top 4 finish with a win against an Atoms side highly capable of spring an upset to finish their 2026 season Rutherglen Fugitives (5-9, 12th) vs Port Lincoln Power (10-4, 6th) - regardless of this result the Power will enter their second successive finals series, however they would avoid the top 2 with a win and a 1250ish score would make that highly likely even in the event of a loss, 4th or 5th are a live possibility depending on other results, the Fugs recruiting team are hoping for an honourable loss combined with a Pony win to secure a top 4 draft pick. Useless Loop Virgins (7-7, 9th) vs The Stony Ponys (4-10, 13th) - a dead rubber on paper, the stewards will be looking at TSP's squad selection and in game tactics closely as a team this good would have to be the most talented 13th ranked team in ORFFF history and they risk finishing as high as 11th with an ill timed victory. Heard Island Shags (1-13, 15th) vs Neptune Island Noahs (9-5, 7th) - the 3 time reigning premiers have lost their last 2 but will end the losing streak against an undermanned Shags side, the Noahs have waited until we have a straight knockout finals format to end a 4 year top 4 streak so they will be the team no one wants to face in the first week of finals Jan Juc Ducks (0-14, 16th) vs Macquarie Island Whales (8-6, 8th) - the Ducks are certainly closer to their next win than at almost any time in their recent history, but have only one more game this year to break their ..... errr ..... duck, while the Whales are locked into the 8 and may finish as high as 7th depending on the Noahs vs Shags result. Wedge Island White Pointers (5-9, 11th) vs Nangkita Bucks (3-11, 14th) - the second of this week's dead rubbers, the Wedgies have lost 4 of the past 5 while the Bucks are zero for 6 in as many recent attempts, meaning both teams will be geed up to win the final game of their season regardless of the match being unlikely to reach the greatest of heights Good luck all
