  • 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!

Round 1 preview | Strategy 2026 with Brenton Sanderson (12.03.26)
Q: What do you see as the key battlegrounds in this crossover?
Stopping the opposition's stoppage and clearance, while forcing transition speed and forward pressure on the other side; each team has to execute its defensive structure as momentum shifts.
Round 1 preview | Strategy 2026 with Brenton Sanderson (12.03.26)
Q: All right. So what are you expecting tonight?
Carlton to have the edge if they can get the game into contest and clearance, but Richmond might benefit from three- or four-quarter pace if Carlton can't sustain momentum.
Carlton vs. Richmond preview | Strategy 2026 with Brenton Sanderson (12.03.26)
Q: All right, so what are you expecting tonight?
Carlton should still have the edge if they can get the game into contest and clearance, but Richmond's pace and efficiency could tilt the match if Carlton can't slow the game and neutralize momentum.
ABC Sport Commentator & 10 Football host Daniel Garb joins Adam White (09.03.26)
Q: What do you see as the main defensive issue holding the Matildas back according to the game analysis?
The defense lacks a true defensive midfielder who can provide a shield and control the space in front of the backline, which makes it hard to transition and protect the defense in high-pressure moments.
