Tom Browne

Interesting chat on what makes the AFL tick with Gillon McLachlan and Jeff Browne. “Collingwood’s mantra is that they are not going back to back - they are going back to work”. The Swans never stopped working. So our mantra is “working”. What Matters Podcast out now

Collingwood has asked the AFL, to increase competing clubs ticket allocation, from 17k to at least 20k tickets.

.@TomBrowne7 gave us the latest in the lead up to the prelims, including Adem Yze's installation as Richmond coach and the new pay deal - will we see Dusty do more on the back of it? LISTEN HERE: tinyurl.com/2c29h3d5

It’s good for Essendon, a common trade view even late this morning suggested Hawthorn was in pole position.

Ben McKay has nominated the Bombers

Concussion sufferers have had a win at the AFL. @TomBrowne7 with the exclusive details. 7NEWS.com.au @7AFL #7NEWS

The AFL has officially cleared Carlton after Jacob Weitering was left on the ground.

On Goodwin’s own analysis Pickett left the ground and in this case elected to bump. It’s a moot point in terms of finals, but on Melbourne’s own standard it would be multiple weeks. Certainly wasn’t a smother

Tom Browne had some mail on the long term deal Essendon has offered Ben McKay today. Catch the full chat on the LiSTNR app or here: tinyurl.com/jzf6u7dr

.@TomBrowne7 gave us all the latest news, including Max Gawn's comments about Brayden Maynard's visit to Angus Brayshaw, the likely off-field changes at Essendon, Dimma's comments on Dustin Martin and more. LISTEN HERE: tinyurl.com/39yy8nz2

A lot of discussion about the AFL overruling the MRO. That’s not completely unusual. Dillon / Meade / Hocking have input in Christian’s decisions. The difference tonight is the press release specifically says it - note reference to EGM football

.@tombrowne7 reports: - Brayden Maynard sent directly to the tribunal - Jacob van Rooyen handed a one-match ban #AFLTables

There is no suggestion Maynard jumped off the ground to knock Brayshaw out. He jumped off the ground to spoil. A football act. Goodwin is sticking up for his player, I get it - but his description in the press conference seems strange

A lot of people are talking about Maynard turning his shoulder. Jump up on the spot, and see how much decision time you have, when suspended in the air with your feet off the ground. Very little. Maynard just braced at the last moment, which is reflex in the circumstances

Bombers coach Brad Scott is continuing his attempted raid on his old club. 7NEWS.com.au @TomBrowne7 @7AFL #7NEWS

Adelaide’s Shane McAdam has nominated @melbournefc as his preferred club for a trade @7NewsMelbourne @7AFL

Bomber Thompson has been named to present the premiership trophy.

Weitering has just copped a fine. Clear to play
