  • 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.

  • Bruce McAvaney wannabe

    Whateley is just an annoying little man whose opinion matters nothing. Malcolm Blight was the best thing but thats gone… snoozefest overall.

  • Sanctimonious

    Used to be good, but last several years he has become quite insufferable and now comes across as a very arrogant person who thinks he’s bigger than the game. His thinly veiled jabs at anything western Australian are quite childish too

  • Great commentary but…

    Remember Geelong is still in the finals race!

    No need to disregard them Cats…because you used to follow them!! 😉

    Mid sentence advertorials very painful.

    Must lift Gerry!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Whateley - Monday | Full Show (30.03.26)
Q: What went wrong for Carlton in the second half this week?
The panel attributed it to a combination of leadership gaps, role misexecution, and opponents making tactical adjustments at half-time that Carlton failed to counter effectively.
Tom Morris | Shield Final and AFL News Update (30.03.26)
Q: What else are you working on this morning besides the Shield final?
Discussion turned to AFL news, ticketing for the MCC events, and upcoming international cricket fixtures, illustrating a broad sports morning beyond the day's main game.
Tom Morris | Shield Final and AFL News Update (30.03.26)
Q: So just step us through the sequence of events today.
The replayed sequence showed Victoria starting strongly with two night watchmen, then key dismissals shifted momentum to SA; McAndrew's subsequent runs and Kerry's century anchored SA, while a controlled bowling performance in the final hours sealed the win.
Tom Morris | Scott Pendlebury Tribunal Update (16.03.26)
Q: So will they start by pleading not guilty, then go for the downgrade and then go for the exception and compelling?
The discussion suggests a staged approach: plead not guilty, then seek a downgrade, and finally argue exceptional and compelling circumstances, depending on the case specifics and previous precedents like Ablett.
Libby Trickett | 'Sport-ish' encouraging kids and adults to ‘play on’ (17.03.26)
Q: Tell me about Sport-ish and the idea behind it.
Libby explains that Sport-ish grew from a desire to discuss sport in ways that feel authentic and accessible, focusing on broad participation and enjoyment rather than just elite competition, and that the new season highlights kids' participation and the PlayWell strategy with the Australian Sports Commission.
