I wonder has any of them coached a premiership team?

I don't think that Petracca wants the captaincy.

I the 1950's Noel McMahon was Captain, Followed by John Beckwith when Noel retired, John relinquised the Captaincy in 1960 and left the club in 1961 to coach a country side.

    Surely they are referring to the AA captaincy!

    'tap on the shoulder' to big Matt... "psst! You do realize Big Max just became the most successful MFC Captain since Ronald Dale don't you!"

    If Max does not want the captaincy then maybe Petracca might be appointed, Max has such a media presence at the moment that will sell season tickets and sponsorships that the club should not discard the current captain.

    Is this guy a bigger [censored] than Robbo I wonder???

    Surely he was meaning in a couple of years? If not this would have to be one of the stupidest things that’s ever been said on trade radio.

    Like wow… 😳

    Rendell must be angling for a Norm Smith style curse to come back ‘cos I’m positive that nothing good could come from stripping the captaincy from Max and giving it to ‘Tracc.

    Tracc will likely lead the club in the future. I’d go as far as saying it’ll happen in the next 2-3 years. There’s just no need to stuff the unity and morale of the club in him becoming captain.

    Max and Gus are the spiritual leaders of the group. Just listen to the podcast. Tracc will be captain one day, if he wants it, but now? How dumb would that be?

    Yep won't be tuning in to the week and a half long [censored] hanging onto hope for next year. I'm sure we will shuffle around some picks and might pick up a player or two but who really cares. It's all about the flag!!

    If Talia wasn't cooked Adelaide would use him as back-up!

    Tarrant on the other hand is a good get for one or two seasons.

    rendell screams out as a filth apologist

    all year the talk has been that daicos would be bid on with pick 1 and now a former filth employee is saying, "oh, no, he'll definitely slide to pick 3 which the pies already have the points to match"?

    he's even done the whole "why would you cost horne-francis $10k bonus by not picking him pick 1?" 

    it's the same rubbish that bevo said last year re ugle-hagan to try and dodge around him, inevitably, being nominated at pick 1

    I have a feeling Jayden Hunt will end up somewhere. I hope not as he a handy wing /half back option but he may want more game time elsewhere.

    why?

    he was best 22 all year and a part of the back 6 til injury when he couldn't force his way back into a side that was settled in the midst of a finals run - not too surprising given he had surgery and most other players with similar injury were missing 12+ weeks

    i'd expect he'll be straight back to being part of the back 6 in 2022

    Probably his best ever season and only lost his spot due to injury, probably takes Hibberd's spot back IMO.

    Yeah just heard that. SOS was agreeing with him. They both seem to be of the opinion that Jackson isn’t all that great either. 

    And this is exactly why I don't listen to this trash.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
