ABC AFL Daily

Corbin Middlemas, Ben Cameron and expert Brett Deledio break down - yet another one-sided - Thursday Night Football contest that saw Hawthorn's top eight hopes rise significantly, with a thumping win over Collingwood, whose top two claims took a knock. The crew also assessed the 'bizarre' situation involving the Saints and star Jack Steele, Brisbane's growing injury list and Jack Silvagni's future. 

Matthew Pavlich is a Dockers legend, with an MBA and a successful career in business. So, why was Paul Roos "shocked" by the South Australian's appointment as Swans CEO? We also discuss the best ways to grow talent after the AFL released its 22 Under 22 squad. Plus high praise for Steele Sidebottom as he prepares for game 350 this weekend. 

Nathan Burke takes us inside what Simon Goodwin's last days at the Melbourne Football Club might have been like, plus the public nature of losing a job you love. How much can a recurring injury impact a players mentality? If Dylan Shiel wants to play on in 2026, which clubs might consider him? Plus Burkey weighs in on why the Saints must keep Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, as he compares him to another club legend. 

If Melbourne hasn't called John Longmire yet, club officials are 'berefet in their duties'. That's the view of the man who preceded Simon Goodwin, Paul Roos. In this bumper episode Roos reflects on Goodwin's tenure, his sacking and how the weight of expectation delivered his downfall. The team explain why the move has come now and who Melbourne might consider for the role. 

Corbin Middlemas and Ben Cameron join Paul Roos to unpack an eventful Round 21, that saw a crackdown in the push in the back rule, plus a couple of contenders display what they're best can look like and, according to Roosy, how that form will hold up in September. The crew dig into Brisbane, Collingwood, Adelaide, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, the Dees' list, Will Day and the All Australian ruck discussion.

Matt Clinch and Cameron Ling discuss a weekend that has shaped the top 8 and do the Eagles deserve a handout?

AFL Saturday with Corbin Middlemas, Luke Ball and Adam Ramanauskas, reviewing and previewing the AFL matches in Round 21. Today's guest, West Coast Coach Andrew McQualter ahead of the Eagles clash with the Demons at Docklands.

Corbin Middlemas, Ben Cameron and Brett Deledio react to the Western Bulldogs' monumental 88-point win over the Giants, in what was a shock Thursday Night Football event. The guys then run through some big storylines ahead of the rest of Round 21 in the AFL.

Collingwood coach Craig McRae has admitted he met with Carlton's Jack Silvagni, and Roosy says this could be huge. The race for top eight spots is incredibly tight which means finals effectively start now, so who makes it? The Eagles have asked for draft concessions and if it was up to Roosy they wouldn't get a thing. 

It looks like Eagles' co-captain Oscar Allen might land at the Brisbane Lions in season 2026, and Roosy believes this highlights the fact that free agency means the good teams keep getting better. Paul believes that idea that the competition could expand to a 10-team finals series is rewarding mediocrity. Plus Poppy and Roosy are in agreement over who would be the best AFL Grand Final entertainment.
