Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sports Drive - Mick Ablett (25/06/2026)
Q: Who wins the Brisbane vs Sydney clash tonight?
The host and Mick suggest Brisbane Lions may win a close game at the Gabba, given the home-ground advantage and form, but emphasize that Sydney is always dangerous and could turn it into a tight contest.
Sports Drive - Jon Dorotich (24/06/2026)
Q: Should you be allowed to start off the mark and then come to it and kick for goal with a set shot, or should that be deemed play on immediately?
Dorotich and the host explore the boundary between readiness at the mark and game flow, highlighting the inconsistency in umpiring calls and the need for clearer guidelines on when play should be deemed.
Sports Drive - Jon Dorotich (24/06/2026)
Q: Where are you at with the umpiring in the AFL system right now? And would you be on board going from four down to three?
Dorotich explains that umpiring has always been challenging, noting adjustments over the years, and expresses mixed feelings about reducing umpires or rotating them, while acknowledging the practicalities and player behavior around some calls.
Sports Drive - Brad Rosen (26/06/2026)
Q: Brad, what did you think when you saw the Giannis trade go down and the Bam Adebayo pairing emerge in Miami?
I like it for both teams; it creates a new dynamic with two bigs up front and opens up the floor, but there are still pieces to be moved and it will be interesting to see how the Celtics respond with Jalen Brown potentially on the move.
Sports Drive - Jaxon Crabb (25/06/2026)
Q: What was it like in the AFL draft camps and early draft days?
He recalls the intense, image-rich draft environment, interactions with clubs, and a famous dressing-down incident that pushed him to choose Perth initially before moving on to the AFL.
