The Pendlebury name is familiar in most footy households. But it's Kris who takes the limelight this week as Coach of Gippsland Power who will play Dandenong Stingrays in the Talent League U18 Grand Final.

"Kritta" joined us and spoke about his journey to get to where he is now, also revealing when he really found out about his brother, Scott joining the Gold Coast Suns.

We cover off the big semi finals from last weekend and look into the huge Preliminary Finals which are just a few days away.

Zane also gives an update on what's happening with the North coaching search and we also discuss the big news around Zak Butters and Logan Morris.

Enjoy!

ALASTAIR Clarkson's departure at North Melbourne may be the biggest story we've seen this year. In this episode, Zane (Clarko's right hand man) give's us his version of events as they unfolded.

Zane also talks about whether he's ready to put his hat in the ring to replace Clarko as head Coach at North Melbourne.

It was a huge weekend of finals - not only in the AFL but also at local level and our man, Oscar spoke to us about the thrill of winning the U16 Grand Final with Bentleigh Demons.

Enjoy!

Wildcard Weekend in the AFL has been and gone - and boy, did it deliver! Now it's time for the finals to begin - or some may say, the finals begun last weekend.

Is it fair for Matthew Nicks' job to be questioned ahead of this week's elimination final between the Crows and the Bulldogs?

Is Zak Butters price tag worth $2m and is being reported?

And we brought in "Moorey" Jnr for a chat ahead of his big Grand Final this weekend.

That and much much more on this week's episode of "The Footy Whiteboard"

Wildcard Weekend has come and gone - and boy did it deliver. But now the finals begin - well, some may already say the finals started last week.

Zane weighs in on whether its fair for reports to emerge that Matthew Nicks and the Adelaide Crows must win Saturday night's elimination final or his job is in serious doubt.

We discussed whether or not Zak Butters is worth the $2m price tag that's being thrown around.

Plenty of local footy finals happening and we brought in little "Moorey" for a chat about his big GF this Sunday.

All of that and so much more in this week's episode of The Footy Whiteboard.

ARKI Butler is the name at the top of most AFL clubs wishlist for this year's AFL Draft.

In a Footy Whiteboard exclusive (haha), he spoke to us about how he's preparing for the Draft and what his week was like leading into the APS Grand Final, where he returned from a broken collarbone to captain Brighton Grammar to premiership glory against Caulfield Grammar.

Take the time and have a listen - he's a beauty!

Hawks forward, Sam Butler is someone who Zane spent quite a bit of time with at Hawthorn.

We're thankful Sam was able to swing by and join us for this episode. I'm thrilled he did - it's a great chat with a young star on the up, whose career was halted with a horrific leg injury in 2024.

He spoke to us about the ups and downs you experience in the AFL system - in particular when you get the tap on the shoulder and asked to go to talk to the coach, who reveals you're dropped from the side.

Enjoy

ZANE outlines why he thinks Murray Davis is the "prime candidate" for the Essendon coaching job.

We discuss why there should be concern at the Saints... And what was it Zane saw from Sunday night's clash against the Blues which got him thinking.

The best young Victorian talent set for a big stage with this weekend with the APS Grand Final.

Oh, and there's plenty of love for George Wardlaw after his game last Thursday night against the Western Bulldogs.

Enjoy!

Tyson Bradley is a name many would already heard of.

The gun defender is a likely first round pick come November in the AFL Draft. He sat down with us for a chat about his journey so far.

He'll be a key for Brighton Grammar when they take on Caulfield in Saturday's APS Grand Final.

The Blues are 9 & 2 under Josh Fraser - will the Blues make the call on their man?

Zane's hearing a bit about a certain Bulldogs forward ahead of Thursday night's fixture.

And what does he mean he says "treat the football like a king"? Some crisp advice for parents with kids playing footy.

Will the Dockers treat Saturday's match at the G like a September audition?

And the Wizard who cast his spell on the Kangaroos - what was the plan heading into last Saturday's game?

That and much more right here on the Footy Whiteboard.

So much on the Whiteboard for discussion...

Did the Saints lose the gamble by playing Max King?

Zane takes us inside the conversations around the Roos and what they thought of Nasiah Wanganeen Milera's dominance.

Why are the crowds in Victoria low? Can the Dockers afford to keep some of their star players frequent flyer points to a minimum?

There's a Hawk that's flying and Zane thinks he's in career best form.

It's all right here on The Footy Whiteboard!
