  • Biased AF

    Not worth listening to unless you’re victorian. He bases his whole analysis of every sport on which state the team/player being discussed comes from.

    Then calls non victorians parochial! Just a biased clown

  • Here for Adam Simpson

    I come every week for one reason and one reason only- Adam Simpson. He’s the smartest, best, most measured and insightful football analyst.

  • Simmo!

    Adam Simpson is the best analyst in the AFL. He’s balanced, considered, incredibly intelligent and has zero time for hot takes or sensationalism. Never appreciated him as a coach but I listen to his every word as a media person. Outstanding.

  • Phil Davis

    Phil Davis is among the most astute and articulate of the opinionistas. He deserves to have more time allocated to his segments.

  • Means Test (aka The Pies Show)

    I havent listened to SEN all season. Put this show on because it used to be about stats and tactics. Now Bucks talks about the Pies with a tear in his eye. He occasionally provides reserved opinions on other topics, but it always gets brought back to the Pies. Im never listening again.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Melbourne vs. Western Bulldogs Preview | Strategy 2026 with Brenton Sanderson (20.08.26)
Q: What are you reading into the Bulldogs' form and how should Melbourne approach them this week?
Sando explains the Bulldogs have shifted to a faster, open game without key players, suggesting Melbourne should attack their midfield and use a fast-break style to leverage their own forward power.
Victoria & Melbourne Renegades captain Will Sutherland (20.08.26)
Q: Is it a little bit odd being the Victorian captain given the Renegades' separate structure and jurisdiction?
Will explains that the two teams are still one club in spirit, and while there are administrative complexities, the focus remains on performing for both Victoria and the Renegades and maintaining a strong sense of unity.
The inevitable concussion conversation | The Eminently Sensible Phil Davis (12.08.26)
Q: Take me to where you are specifically drawn on the circumstances in front of us?
The guest emphasizes governance basics: strong internal rules, transparent documentation, and a framework that protects players while balancing liability, suggesting the need for independent medical oversight and clear contractual language.
Western Bulldogs vs. Carlton preview | Strategy 2026 with Brenton Sanderon (13.08.26)
Q: What are the elements in the game that stood out that need to be fixed?
The Bulldogs need to fix their contested possession and clearance numbers, stop relying on a single midfield leader, and inject more variance and tempo changes into their forward half to challenge Carlton's defense.
Peter Blucher | Chris Fagan's coaching record - Footy Nerd Central (05.08.26)
Q: Who else should I talk to for more insights?
Blucher suggests Dion Scott as a potential interview subject, citing his deep connections with Fagan and local Tasmanian football history.
