    Well done, SEN - you have assembled a very fine team of contributors. Congratulations also on your commitment to Acknowledgement of Country. As my Dad always told me, “good manners cost you nothing.”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Richmond Assistant Coach Sam Lonergan joins AFL Nation's Pre-Game - (17.05.2026)
Q: Does it give you any desire to take over a senior coaching mantle at any point Sam?
Sam says that many coaches wonder about senior roles, but emphasizes that all good coaches want to be the best they can be, accepting that the job has ups and downs and that leadership opportunities come with time.
Round 9 - Crows Nation: Richmond v Adelaide Full Match (10.05.26)
Q: What changes did Adelaide make after halftime to swing momentum?
Adelaide intensified their ball movement and spread, put Rankin and Dawson into midfield roles, and adjusted their forward structure to create better angles and capitalize on turnovers.
Round 9 - Sydney Swans defender Jake Lloyd Post-Game (09.05.26)
Q: How much confidence do you take from the win and the defensive effort tonight?
Lloyd emphasizes the team's belief in their process, acknowledging the challenge of heavy pressure but noting that sticking to their structure and contest work has helped them stay solid, while also highlighting the growth of younger players stepping up in key moments.
Round 9 - Gold Coast Suns defender Bodhi Uwland - (09.05.26)
Q: With Naz Wanganin-Malera unavailable, did that influence how you matched up or prepared for the game?
Not really; we approached it as a standard challenge and focused on executing our best footy regardless of who was out for them, keeping the team's plan intact.
Round 9 - Gold Coast Suns defender Bodhi Uwland - (09.05.26)
Q: What do you put the rise in your game down to, and how have you been able to perform each week?
I feel it's a delayed gratification from consistent work over the past couple of years, and I've focused on getting my hands on the footy as part of my game plan; the improvement comes from steady training and trusting the process.
