He and Buckley are outstanding. By far my favourite football media personalities.

Yeah completely agree with those. They should both be in. LRT's crunching tackle on Hodge too.
Re: the elite Mattner effort, I don't know if I'll ever change my profile pic, even though it has brought disgusting accusations of my being a Hawks fan from the uneducated.

Love how we not only now have a NSW based AFL reporter but that he is basically barracking for us.
Also puts to rest the story that Freo paid for Chad and Alice's stay in WA, when it was actually his manager who 'arranged the stay'.
Matt Roberts extends
Emerging defender Matt Roberts has extended his time in the red and white until at least the end of 2027.

I still get tingles when I recall that tackle by Matner. Calm, smart and understood the moment - like all great Swans defenders
it was a lot more than just a tackle
Grand moves: AFL ponders concessions for non-Victorian clubs on footy’s biggest day
Chris Fagan has explained to the league the vast differences experiencing a grand final as Brisbane Lions coach and as a senior football executive with Hawthorn.
One club president from outside Victoria observed: “You’re treated like it’s the America’s Cup and you’re the challenger.”
But the fact that Sydney played their last home-and-away game for the season at the MCG in round seven and Collingwood play seven of their last eight at the grand final venue underlines the home-ground advantage. While second-placed Carlton play fewer games at the MCG (nine in season ’24) the Blues travel from Melbourne just twice in their last 11 home-and-away games.
The following instances might seem petty, but they are also symbolic. In 2015 West Coast entered the finals as ladder leaders but were placed below Hawthorn on the MCG scoreboard on grand final day with the Hawks also handed first choice of venue for their post-match function.
In 2016 at the grand final parade both handles of the premiership cup were tied with the Bulldogs’ coloured ribbons of red, white and blue. Cup ambassador Michael O’Loughlin asked for one handle to be changed to adorn Sydney’s red and white but was refused.
Absolutely excellent by Fagan and the other coaches including Longmire.

On a par with Malceski's last goal in terms of match winning. Copybook and elite defensive play.I still get tingles when I recall that tackle by Matner. Calm, smart and understood the moment - like all great Swans defenders

Omg I feel somewhat vindicated by this! I said this last year:Grand moves: AFL ponders concessions for non-Victorian clubs on footy’s biggest day

And no one else chimed in to say they remembered it and I thought I was losing it!
Nice pickup c88.
It’s as if the AFL weren’t even bothered covering their tracks with the robbery’s pre-written script!
