@ShannonGill13 @thefrontbar7 Would love to run the full gamut. Initial thought for the week is whether Derm has clocked more on-screen hours than any footballer in history?

@thefrontbar7 Hope you’ve got the “one handed kick” from this video @LukeMason38

Another great footy tip from Derm. Catch the five-time flag winner at the bar this week. #TheFrontBar | Wednesday | 8.30pm AEDT 📺

VFL footy will return to @abcsport TV this weekend, a good time to chat to @PhilCleary_Ind and Peter Gee about the last time the ABC stepped in to cover the comp. A reverence for the VFA and four diverse characters made suburban footy magic. @VFL abc.net.au/news/2026-03-2…

On Dennis, the witty wordplay came a distant second to his superpower of calling the game right. #AFL 📝 Read: open.substack.com/pub/shannongil…

Tonight, we pay tribute to the great Dennis Cometti, whose voice is the soundtrack to so many of our favourite footy memories. Vale Dennis ❤️

We think of 'Tapps' often. A good football man. A good man.

Dale Tapping. We miss you mate! Thanks for being a great husband to my sister, a wonderful Dad & Uncle! Authentic leader caring incredible knowledge & mentor to many! Great coach! Would of made a senior @AFL coach follow in Fages footsteps @brisbanelions ❤️ 🙌

You need to set aside half your week to digest all the top 50s and phantom drafts. Back in the day there was Matt Burgan. And he was damn good.

Welcome to Carlton, Ash Close! With AFL, VFL and Coates Talent League experience, we're delighted to announce the appointment of our new development coach at IKON Park.

The way things were. These are the first ever tweets from @traderadio + its coverage of the trade deadline back on 11 October 2010.

People, places and stories from Grand Final day 2025 at the @MCG 🏆

Always loved this from Tim Boyle in @theagesport back in 2012. Lifetimes of effort, sacrifice and care all balance so delicately on a knife’s edge for two hours before history’s permanence sets in. theage.com.au/sport/afl/like…

Grand Final day seems to carry more meaning as we get older. There’s something about it that connects you to people of your present and your past in the most beautiful way ❤️ This from James Burton and Anson Cameron illustrates this so beautifully. smh.com.au/entertainment/…

It's crazy to think Nick Daicos, at 22, has polled 3 Brownlow votes 25 times from 88 H&A games. Nathan Buckley, in 250 H&A games, polled 3 Brownlow votes 31 times. Dane Swan polled 33 3s from 238 H&A games. Nick's polled 98 votes from his last 66 H&A games. He is a freak.

34-year-old Steele Sidebottom has 11 Brownlow votes after 12 rounds. Already his best return since 2018 (24) and 2017 (14)

@JonathanHorn23 Great read, mate.

Pendlebury and the 30-plus Pies - raging against the dying of the light. theguardian.com/sport/2025/sep…

Few players would have kicked 42.16 in a season, then registered 10 rebounds in a final 5 years later. Only 10 players took more marks inside 50 in 2018. Extremely adaptable, low maintenance, full of integrity, + had the last kick of the 2023 Grand Final. What a career 🏅

Will Hoskin-Elliott retires ranked 45th for games played + 45th for goals kicked by Collingwood players. Played in all 14 finals during his time at the club + was one of the club’s best across the bulk of them.

Random stat: Michael Voss retired at the same age Pendles was when Pendles played his 278th game - R1 2019 v Geelong. When Michael Voss was Pendles’ age now (37y 172d), he’d coached 90 of his 109 games for Brisbane, with 1 year remaining. Pendles is playing game 417 tonight.

Brody Mihocek was overlooked 962 times in drafts between 2011 + 2017. He’s now 102nd for games played + 21st for goals kicked by a Collingwood player, all in the space of 8 years + debuting at age 25. Deserves to be celebrated loud + long tonight.

With 3 goals, Mihocek’s gone past Des Tuddenham + Craig Davis (251) to 252 goals. Now outright 21st for goals scored by a Collingwood player. Murray Weideman’s 20th with 261.
