  • 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 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (30.06.26)
Q: Is there a feeling around the corridors as to how she'll go, and how much work she's put in to be ready for the Wimbledon stage?
The guest suggests that there is mystique and uncertainty, but notes she has clearly put in the work, trained on grass, played some doubles, and that her presence will be a major storyline regardless of single-match outcomes.
Peter Johnston | ATP Executive Tournament Director (30.06.26)
Q: So as a tournament director, with her sort of coming back, is it good for the game in the sense that it gets people talking about tennis again that perhaps haven't for a while, or is the game healthy enough that we don't necessarily need it?
Johnston argues that there are more upsides than downsides: Serena's return adds narrative, boosts viewer engagement, and serves as powerful advertising for longevity in tennis, without necessarily disrupting the sport's overall health.
Melbourne Demon's Energetic Defender Koltyn Tholstrup - Whateley with Adam White - 01/07/26
Q: What has surprised you most about this year with the team?
Koltyn noted that not dropping a game at the club's home ground (the G) was a standout surprise, and he mentioned how well the team has adapted to their roles and the freedom King provides in the back line.
Professional Australian Golfer Cameron John | Whateley with Adam White - 02/07/26
Q: Do you just play one ball and try to get the best score possible, or do you mix in a few chips around greens to simulate pressure?
The approach is similar to preparing for any tournament: you do skills work, practice, and then on the course you try to execute what you've been working on, aiming to stay in a good space with shot selection and pressure as you approach the Open.
Melbourne Vixens Goal-Machine Sophie Garbin - Whateley with Adam White - 01/07/26
Q: What has to happen for you to win on the weekend?
Garbin explains that Melbourne must capitalize on every opportunity against a talented Thunderbirds lineup, play with controlled composure in the shooting circle, and maintain pressure defensively to disrupt the Thunderbirds' starting seven.
