    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.”

  • Good footy podcast

    But I’m a Pies fan and are you being sarcastic about enjoying it? He’s never done it again and we lost the big one again.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Round 18 - Collingwood utility Pat Lipinski after the Pies win over North Melbourne (10.7.26)
Q: What was the key message going into this game?
The team wanted to take the game on more and use a big ground with systematic ball movement, relying on their ability to move the ball quickly and change angles to create good looks. Lipinski's answer reflected a focus on applying pressure and maintaining composure under midfield contest.
Round 18: AFL Nation - Chris Newman pregame interview | Melbourne v Richmond(12.07.26)
Q: What changes have you made to the squad to get back to striking form and how have additions like Kai Anand influenced the team?
Newman explains the added players' impact in practice and games, noting how Anand has integrated quickly and helped re-balance the team structure, with young players gaining confidence and contributing to the forward group alongside experienced teammates.
Round 18: AFL Nation - Chris Newman pregame interview | Melbourne v Richmond(12.07.26)
Q: After last week's two-point loss to Carlton, what do you take out of that performance?
Newman emphasizes learning from the close result, focusing on positive moments from the effort, and identifying where the team can tighten consistency, while acknowledging there were still areas to improve to convert patches of good play into a win.
Round 18: AFL Nation - Melbourne v Richmond - Post Game (12.07.26)
Q: Your initial thoughts at the conclusion, Dermott Brereton?
Melbourne did what they expected, and Richmond were competitive but couldn't overcome the Dees, highlighting Melbourne's strong form and the Tigers' ongoing rebuild.
Round 18: AFL Nation - Jacob Van Rooyen Post Game | Melbourne v Richmond (12.07.26)
Q: What have you added to your game this year that's helped your performance?
I've dropped a couple of kilos and focusing on being able to run out of the game; at 193 cm, I'm not going to be the biggest, so getting fitter and more able to get up and back has been beneficial, plus the team's faster ball movement helps.
