AFL Canberra media day

About 70 players and umpires photographed on white on 1 March 2026, three poses each, shot to the league's brief for its own cut-outs. Photos by Lyle Holt. AFL Canberra then used them on Instagram in every week of the season, from 14 March to 10 September: at least 64 posts, including 25 podcast covers, 20 weekly wraps and 16 fixture graphics. That is about one in five of the league's own posts for the season.
