What happened in the 2026 AFL Grand Final and why did Fremantle lose?
One of the ways for a team to get momentum is in the draft. You let some of the underperformers go, trim the dead wood, and then use your picks wisely by picking up a future superstar. And you can do the same for your business. The number one pick has got to be Momentum Energy. They'll get you running with a great plan for electricity and gas and innovative energy solutions that can generate new sources of revenue. Plus, Momentum are big supporters of Aussie Jobs with teams based in Melbourne and Tassie. So draft them for your business and get some momentum with Momentum Energy.
The next day I said, hello. And then he didn't reply. You've got your eyes open or closed on your first kiss, Brett. And don't put your hand up at me, mate, because I'll fucking break your arm.
This is not getting cut out. This is too
good. Yes! That's not the voice of Dylan Buckley. We'll get there in a second. Welcome back to Footy and Friends. Brett, me and you. Welcome, mate.
Are
you
well? Intimate. Mate, we had a text this morning, didn't we? And it came through. I thought I was having a dream. Yeah. Tongue in cheek. Who's this? But our fearful leader, Dylan Buckley, has just decided that he's going to tap out today. Yep. What's happened? So he tells us, texts us on Friday, oh, this is going to be MJ flu game on Saturday. I'm going to turn up. I'm going to give us everything. Now he said on Monday morning, I'm sick. Yeah. So he's either still sick and given it to us, and he's tapped out because he's had a big weekend.
That's what I reckon is happening. The caveat, and we'll get to the rest of the panel in a second, but the caveat of all of this is, yeah, I don't want to get you guys sick. Yeah. I may as well have been kissing him on Saturday
morning. He hugged me as well. I was like, mate, so you're either still sick and you've given it to us then and you don't want to come in because I don't want to get you
sick on. We shared microphones. We held hands. We shared mimosas. And we'll get on the breakfast in a second, which was terrific on Saturday morning. But we'll welcome in the rest of the team, Lincoln. Hey, Mike. Pretty flat Monday morning. Yeah, we'll get to you.
Yeah.
Mac, home by 7 a.m. Sunday morning. I'm proud of
you, mate. Pretty flat Monday morning for me as well for
a different
reason, but also pretty flat.
Just a bit hungover.
Show up, though.
What's
the
definition of insanity?
Doing the same thing over and over again.
I think a different outcome is
going to happen.
Yeah, get home at 6, feel shit Sunday. So I gave in our WhatsApp group yesterday. I don't know how this went down because I wasn't getting much byplay from anyone. No. But I was on my high horse because I had a few beers on Saturday night myself. Did you? Commiseration beers. Yes. And I was
a
little bit dusty. But you're only as good as your next moment. So five things on my checklist yesterday.
Wash the
sheets. Make yourself a clean bed. Got that done. Yep. Go for a walk. Drink two litres of water. So I've given all this to Mac in the WhatsApp group. What else was there? Make a home-cooked meal. Yep. One more. Wash sheets, clean room, two litres of water, make a
home-cooked meal, two kilometre
walk. Mac messages back in the group. I found this hilarious. Yeah, yeah, cool, cool. I'll just walk to the cafe and back. Let me check. Yep, 1,400 metres. Yeah, tick that off. Tick, tick. I never got the update whether he got the other 600 in.
And all this while, Buckley gave us nothing throughout
the whole day.
He was busy having a feed, I think. But that's okay, mate. But how good was – and I know you were talking about the – we'll talk about the grand final in depth, but the brekkie that we had beforehand. And we've got to give a big shout-out to all those and the helping hands behind
– of scenes and
everyone that made the day run and made it run seamless. I believe they had fun.
Yeah.
I mean, Dill was serious. He gets really serious
with those.
Dill.
Yeah, yeah.
He doesn't have fun
when he's up there. He asked Ross Lyon, and we'll get to it. I guess Shane Biggs, terrific. Just authentic, isn't he, Shane?
