AFL round five 2026, scores, results, odds, stats and start time from Barossa Park, Lyndoch in South Australia

Hello everyone, welcome to Saturday’s four-game Roundup.

After a few wet and soggy nights to kick off the Adelaide football festival, we checked the weather forecast and found light showers still in store for the South Australian capital.

But who cares? This is an outdoor sport. We can also bring you all the stunning little updates in today’s blog so you can follow along from the warmth of a lounge room or even while sitting by the fireplace at a bar.

My name is Danny Russell and I’ll be telling you about previous matches – North Melbourne v Brisbane Lions in the Barossa starting at 12.35pm followed by Essendon v Melbourne at Adelaide Oval from 1.15pm.

After that, my esteemed colleague and football expert Andrew Wu will attend the next matches: Sydney v Goldcoast (Norwood Oval, 16.15) and Hawthorn v Western Bulldogs (Adelaide Oval, 19.35).

We wish success to all your teams.
