  • 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.

Mornings with JJ, Kane and Sammy - Friday Full Show (02.10.26)
Q: What are your thoughts on LeBron James and where he should play next?
The guests discuss the evolving destination dynamics for LeBron, highlighting how personal and strategic considerations shape where he ends up, with the Knicks and 76ers noted as possibilities depending on proximity and team needs.
Mornings with JJ, Kane and Sammy - Friday Full Show (02.10.26)
Q: Will Jordan Degoy be on your list next year?
The hosts suggest that given his contract dynamics, health, and fit, Degoy could be considered, though there are ongoing debates about long-term value and team needs.
ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Tim MacMahon in the studio (02.10.26)
Q: What do you focus on on The Hoop Collective?
We focus on the business of the league, roster construction, the drama around trades, and talking to agents, coaches, and executives to bring listeners deeper context and stories behind the headlines.
Michael Petrillo | Melbourne City Director of Football (24.09.26)
Q: Give us a little picture as when you did the assessment of, well, how close you were last year, how has it fuelled you for what's to come this season?
Michael Petrillo explains last season's mid‑season injuries led to a very young lineup and, despite not reaching the grand final, the team finished strong and then made targeted improvements by strengthening the front third with high‑quality signings to improve goal scoring and overall performance.
Whateley - Tuesday | Full Show (15.09.26)
Q: What is your view on the compensation framework for Butters and Marshall?
The host and guests emphasize that compensation is a complicated, multi-parter affair; if the AFL allows separate deals to stand up on merit, it could set a precedent for more flexible moves, but many callers argue for removing compensation entirely to enable a true open market.
