Chapter 1: What are the highlights from today's AFL matches?

1.145 - 34.778 Unknown

Up inside 50. Target was Kernow. Here we go. Here we go. This will be for eight. This for number eight around the body. We're screaming for a highlight. Curto from the boundary. Puts it through. Number eight for Charlie. By the contingent. Here's Bice. Here's my man, the big rooster. Here he goes. Harry Kyle.

Chapter 2: How did Isaac Heaney perform in the latest game?

34.818 - 51.317 Unknown

Lower the eyes. Inside 50. Oh, the great mark taken there by Isaac Heaney. Isaac can kick his fifth. For 32 and five. Bang. Well, pre-game, there may be some lovers of that. Heaney gets his fifth.

0

52.462 - 70.251 Liam Pickering

The big boys ran right. As the Swans in Richmond have any sniff over the entirety of four quarters. And Isaac Heaney, again, another 30-5 as he propels himself back deep into that conversation as the best player in the game.

0

70.923 - 77.532 Unknown

Dockers. Boss has it, running into an open goal from the pocket. Boss! Whack!

0

Chapter 3: What strategies did Fremantle use to secure their victory?

77.612 - 103.279 Unknown

Look at him go! The Prancing Pony! He's doing a lap. Down there, ball slapped out of there, it sits up. Amos! Did he get a boot to it? He hasn't, has he? Amos! He has! The Karate Kid! It's all rolling Freo's way. If he's the forward that they want him to be, you just go back and put the game... Tracy to make sure of it. Kicks. Eight.

Chapter 4: What impact do injuries have on team performance this season?

103.299 - 105.021 Unknown

Goal! The King of Kahuna.

0

105.822 - 121.497 Liam Pickering

11 straight for the Purple Haze, who are now the Premiership favourites. They put their foot down against the two-timers. And even as a team performance, as you'll see, as Amos and Voss led the way, as for Brisbane, the bye has never been more needed.

0

122.398 - 142.331 Unknown

Drives the ball back inside. 50. Top of the square. Norton got up. Spilt to Lewis. Curls it around. His third! Dogs push the margin back out to ten points on the main internet and mobile scoreboard. Cuts around his man, North. Now goes to the top of the square.

0

Chapter 5: How is the coaching landscape changing in the AFL?

142.351 - 171.947 Unknown

Who can take the mark off his out-the-back memory? He's got his third, and they will not lie down. Josh Dacos couldn't get boots of all. McCreary to Cameron over the head, handball just into space to go. He spins through. McCreary finds Cameron, wobbles it inside. 50. Oh, so good. Brilliant mark from the Dolts defender. There's 40 seconds remaining in the final turn.

0

171.987 - 184.039 Unknown

Frampton to Nick Dacos trying to springboard off half-back. Kick into the middle. Doesn't matter. Dogs hang on for the second week in a row. They've been challenged.

0

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the mid-season draft for teams?

184.019 - 186.964 Unknown

and they've responded to the question.

0

186.984 - 209.942 Liam Pickering

The Kings of the close finish. The Bullies, another win by less than a goal. Ed Richards whirled the Bulldogs over the line in the fourth as a mid-season draftee sealed it late with a brilliant mark. As for the Pies, again, they're left to Roo giving a head start. Wherever you might be right around Australia on a Sunday afternoon, welcome to Sunday Crunch Time.

0

215.71 - 240.004 Liam Pickering

And a very warm welcome to you, wherever you might be, right around Australia for the all-new Ford Ranger Wolf Track V6 and for Ozito Brushless Power Tools. Built to work, Ozito do you. A Sunday afternoon in some parts of the world still morning. If you listen to us in the SCN app or via your SCN radio station, we've got a big Sunday afternoon. And the footy fires up from now.

240.064 - 257.185 Liam Pickering

The Dees and the Giants in the Alice and then a Sunday night footy game that as the Eagles have got their chests up a little bit and Dean Solomon has about 58 changes he's got to deal with, including some of the coaching staff as they head to the West for Sunday night. Liam Pickering, hello to you.

0

257.385 - 257.766 Unknown

G'day, Cam.

Chapter 7: How do players respond to pressure during crucial games?

257.786 - 264.614 Unknown

Hello, everyone. Coldish day here in Melbourne, isn't it? The sun's out, but the guns aren't out today because it's a little bit fresh.

0

264.954 - 280.193 Liam Pickering

Last day of autumn, isn't it? I think, is it the 1st of June? 1st of June tomorrow. There you go. June starts tomorrow. Winter starts tomorrow. Winter's hit in Melbourne town where we are. And our man, Josh Jenkins, is in Geelong. Hello to you, Joshua.

0

280.628 - 288.538 Josh Jenkins

Good afternoon, boys. No warmer here, I can assure you. In fact, it's probably a couple of degrees colder, but don't mind winter.

0

Chapter 8: What can we expect from the upcoming matches this week?

288.558 - 306.922 Josh Jenkins

Probably give me winter over summer, which is, I guess, a little rare. But yeah, I'd rather be trying to warm up than just laying there in 45 degree heat. But hopefully, hopefully we get some warm games this afternoon. On paper, the three o'clock game looks... Interesting.

0

307.723 - 315.913 Josh Jenkins

Maybe not as much at 7 o'clock, but certainly expecting the Eagles to be able to do the job despite the new coach factor, Cameron.

0

315.994 - 324.244 Liam Pickering

Yes, Ben Hart's going to join us in the show as well. He'd be a little happier. He's the backline coach of the Giants, and Sam Taylor is in for his first game of 2026.

0

324.264 - 342.909 Unknown

Yeah, and played since, obviously, since the state of origin. Yeah, but, I mean, they lost Buckley last week. Oh, God. But we did speak to Jase McCartney on the show last week, and... He said Sammy would be back, so it's great to see him back. He's one of the best defenders in the competition, if not the best defender. So I'm expecting that to be a really good game.

0

343.11 - 358.774 Liam Pickering

And about an hour's time, our very own Brenton Sanderson is going to join us here, of course. He's the Coaches Association chairman, and he's going to talk about the week. He wrote a really good article in The Age, and he's going to talk about Brent Scott and everything associated with the sacking of coaches and the role of the coach.

358.874 - 376.36 Unknown

And the role of the chairman. I didn't even know they had a board. Look, I've managed some coaches. I've only ever dealt with Alistair Nicholson, who's the CEO, and Ronnie Watt and those guys, Henry Playfair, but I didn't even know they had a board. But anyway, Sandow will be good in whatever the role.

376.5 - 390.42 Liam Pickering

Good, honest and transparent start from our man Liam Pickering, and a big shout to all the managers, the coaches that he manages. Anyway, let's get into it. I don't think they knew either. Sunday's snap judgment, observation, whatever you want to call it. JJ, you've got the new ball.

390.687 - 421.594 Josh Jenkins

Well, I take no pleasure in doing so. Let's go back to Friday night. Let's go back to April, in fact, when it took too long for the ARC to intervene on a decision which was wrong anyway. So we decided, well, we can't have that. Let's not have the intervention after the fact. Let's just go to either immediate query and question and sending up to the ARC, or we just don't do it at all.

421.694 - 439.645 Josh Jenkins

And Friday night, it comes back to bite us. It doesn't... feel at the moment like, whichever way, I've got some level of empathy for the AFL because any decision they make, the opposite jumps up and bites them in the backside straight away. But to get to a point where only in April we changed the rule because of one...
