AFL RECORD THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS DRASTIC MEASURES:
AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan prepares for last Monday’s press conference.
FOOTY’S BIG HIT The AFL has implemented drastic measures to get the 2020 season underway in light of the coronavirus outbreak. Senior writer ASHLEY BROWNE outlines how the game has survived previous challenges and what the immediate future holds.
F
rom the very first game in 1858, played between Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar as an activity to keep cricketers fit between seasons, Australian Football has found a way to survive and grow. World War I dug deep into a generation of young men and more than 100 League footballers lost their lives across the killing fields of Europe.
4 AFL RECORD
At one stage only four of the eight League clubs took part in the 1916 season, one which famously ended with Fitzroy as both the wooden spooner and the premier. By 1919, the competition was back at full strength and, by the middle of the next decade, three new clubs were admitted. World War II disrupted footy significantly once again. This time, 56 active players lost their lives, Geelong left the competition for a couple of years and several venues were lost to the competition for a considerable period. The MCG became a US Army base known as Camp Murphy. Yet within 10 years, Grand Finals were being played in front of more than 100,000 people and the game was already becoming the most valuable piece of content for that new emerging entertainment medium, television. Football has overcome whatever challenges have been thrown its way.
Be they inconveniences such as flooded grounds, airline strikes and closures or more grave concerns such as economic depressions, the sudden and tragic deaths of an active senior coach and players as well as a supplements scandal, footy has always found a way to climb back to its feet, dust itself off and get going again. Having said all that, the coronavirus is the biggest disruptor the game has faced for more than a century and perhaps in the history of the game. And every level of the game will be affected, from from Dustin Martin through to the kids at the local Auskick centre. AFL football has this week faced the same question as all major sporting codes around the world. The three in-season US sports – basketball, baseball and ice hockey – have all shut down. Soccer all over the world has been indefinitely suspended.

THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS AFL RECORD
It is hard to find elite-level sport being played anywhere. In debating the merits of whether the games should go on, sportswriters everywhere have come to the same conclusion – of all the least-important things in the world, sport is the most important. For now in our little corner of the world, the games go on, with perhaps the most fundamentally altered season in the history of the game. We start this weekend with round one being played behind closed doors. That’s unprecedented. The next big change is the 17-game season. What we lose in length we gain in fairness, with every team playing each other once. The first four rounds will be played as fixtured, but a new schedule will be introduced thereafter. The frequency of games will also change. The AFL would like to cram as many games in as possible before
the inevitable shutdown and it remains unclear how rounds two through four will shape up. Suggestions of midweek games as clubs reach deep into their depth of reserves might not be far off the mark. More changes? How about no state league football until at least May 31 and perhaps even longer. The NAB League, the No. 1 breeding ground for the best under-18 players in the country, might not get underway at all. The AFLW’s immediate future is also uncertain. Suburban and country football won’t be starting until May 31 either. Nor will Auskick and junior footy. And, as long as schools remain shut, there will be no school footy either. The game will be shut down entirely before too long. As AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan said last Monday, the game will “down tools” as soon as one player tests positive to COVID-19.
The AFL industry is about to take a major financial hit. The League will have to hand back significant amounts to its broadcasters – Seven, Foxtel and Telstra – for every game that is not played. Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale has estimated a $1 million loss for every home blockbuster played behind closed doors or not all, starting with the traditional season-opener against Carlton. Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett in a letter to members said, “The very best scenario is that our bottom line might be hit by about 10 per cent of budgeted revenue over this football year.” Players are likely have their incomes slashed by 20 per cent. Pay cuts and lay-offs are in the short- to medium-term future for the thousands of people who work across the industry, be they at the AFL, clubs, state leagues or ancillary industries such

as venues, sports science and medicine and even the media. There will be no AFL Record sold at venues while they’re not playing games. The challenges for players and clubs during the down time are enormous and endless. How will players keep fit? Will they be required to undergo some sort of ‘mini pre-season’ when the green light is given for games to resume? Training has already been significantly altered as players prepare in small clusters and are totally isolated from the non-football staff at their club. The AFL has called upon some heavyweights to chart its way through these uncertain weeks and months.
The period when there is no football played will be difficult. As the wind starts to chill and the leaves begin to fall, the anticipation of the weekend’s football gets many of us through the working week. Come the weekend it’s party time. Clubs are promising all sorts of activations through their social and media channels to get us through the forthcoming drought. You can revisit Richmond’s 1920 premiership season through a series of real-time tweets. YouTube and Fox Footy will be the salvation for many. SEN will talk footy for as long as there’s an audience. And there is a bit to look forward to when the footy returns.
LOCKED OUT:
Matches in round one will be played behind closed doors for the first time in history.
McLachlan has convened a ‘coronavirus cabinet’ and it includes AFL commission chairman Richard Goyder and longtime commissioners Paul Bassat and Robin Bishop, together with club presidents Kennett, Andrew Pridham (Sydney), Peter Gordon (Western Bulldogs) and Eddie McGuire (Collingwood). None of them will find a cure for COVID-19, but their financial clout and respective backgrounds in areas such as business, politics, the law, the media and technology will help keep the game as healthy as possible. The AFL has $120 million stored away in a future fund and this might be the time to use it.

Games most days of the week in front of large and loud footy-starved crowds. A frantic run home to the finals – whenever they’re played. The Grand Final might not be played until October or November. There’s no iron-clad guarantee in this most unusual season that it would even be at the MCG given requirements for cricket. Season 2020 is one we’ll remember forever. The challenges will be monumental and the disruption will be hard for all of us. But footy has endured and always found a way forward. And it will do so again.
T
hese are testing times for everyone, including the staff here at the AFL Record.
But the good news is while the Record will not be sold at venues for obvious reasons, footy fans will not miss out on their Record fix. The following plans have been put in place over the coming weeks when fans will be unable to attend games. • In South Australia, there is a special SA edition with all the normal Record features PLUS a dedicated match-day section for the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide games. • There will be a digital version fans can download via SEN.com.au. This will give fans access to the selected teams, as well as great feature stories, including Ashley Browne’s interview for the opening round with Richmond premiership hero Marlion Pickett and his top 50 ‘Movers and Shapers’ list. Of course, when normal service returns and fans are allowed to attend games again, the AFL Record will be back bigger and better than ever. Thanks for your understanding and enjoy the start to what is a very unique season. MICHAEL LOVETT Editor

N
erves are supposed to be jangling in the dressing rooms in the hour or so before the Grand Final. The pressure on Richmond heading into last year’s Grand Final should have been immense. The Tigers would have just one flag to show for three years of dominance if there was to be a stumble against the GWS Giants. Yet the mood was eerily calm. Borderline relaxed. Call it the Marlion Pickett effect. The 27-year-old had been picked for his AFL debut, the first Grand Final debutant since Collingwood’s Keith Batchelor in 1952. His was already a ripping story, being incarcerated as a young man, forging a fine career at South Fremantle while marrying and having four children and then being selected by the Tigers at the 2019 Mid-Season Rookie Draft, the first of its type for a quarter of a century. Richmond was forced into one change for the Grand Final after the courageous Jack Graham was ruled out with a shoulder injury. Kamdyn McIntosh, Jack Ross and Sydney Stack all had realistic claims for selection, but on the basis of a fantastic VFL finals series for the Tigers, Pickett moved past them on the depth chart. And there he was an hour before the game, happily posing for pictures with his family and treating it like any other game of footy. Never mind that it was his first game and a Grand Final to boot. Teammate Shane Edwards still chuckles at it all. “It felt more like a milestone game, his first game, than it did a Grand Final,” he recalled.
“We were focused on helping Marlion because it was his first game and we were nervous for him. But he wasn’t nervous. So we ended up calm and relaxed because that’s how he was.” Indeed, ask Pickett what his major recollection is of the day and it’s not that he was so clearly comfortable at the level from the very start, nor the spin move out of the middle that has been watched more than 100,000 times on YouTube, nor his third-quarter goal that led to the loudest, most guttural roar heard at the MCG for years. No. Pickett’s abiding memory is when his family, together with Shaun Grigg, visited the rooms for an impromptu and emotional photo session. It was Grigg’s mid-season retirement because of injury that created the list vacancy that the club filled by drafting Pickett. “I didn’t know that at the time,” Pickett said. Talk to anyone at Tigerland about Pickett and the conversation soon turns to his devotion to his family. Wife Jess helped him turn his life around and children Marlion jnr, Latrelle, Shaniqua and Levi keep him grounded. “I’m not sure it’s hit me yet,” he told the AFL Record. “I enjoyed it as much as everyone else did, but with four kids you keep on your toes. And now it’s the start of a new year.” If Pickett’s nature is to play down his incredible achievement, there are plenty of others at Richmond who are still shaking their heads in wonderment at the story they had a front row seat for as it unfolded last year. Tiger coach Damien Hardwick recalls watching what he thought was a highlight tape from the WAFL of Pickett.
“He had time and space and the ability to give other players time and space, he used the ball well, was hard and tough and he could jump and run. It was all of the things you like,” he said. “And what I worked out halfway through was that it wasn’t a highlights tape, it was one game. It was a special game and you looked at those things and realised he was an AFL player.” Edwards, who is dabbling in list management ahead of a likely full-time move into that area when he retires, had been watching film of Pickett for several months. “He was already one of the best 100 players in the country,” he said. List manager Blair Hartley said Pickett had been on the club’s radar for some time. But given his age, selecting him at the National Draft, and the two-year commitment that comes with it, was problematic. Not so the Mid-Season Draft, which amounted to a 10-week trial. “It worked with his family,” he said. “We had a real conversation and he was unbelievably committed.” Pickett arrived at the club last June with a broken finger and with some personal issues still lingering back in Western Australia. But he attacked his rehab with vigour and once he joined the team on the track, there were immediate ripples of excitement. “He just wanted to do the work. There was no messing about. He just wanted play footy,” said development coach Xavier Clarke who, like Pickett, is indigenous. In Clarke, Pickett found an instant friend and someone he could open up to and help him navigate the uber-professional AFL environment.

AFL RECORD MARLION PICKETT
RELATIONSHIPS: Marlion Pickett has formed a bond with young teammate Sydney Stack; (left) with Shaun Grigg (far left) and family and friends before the Grand Final.
“He never easily questioned anything. He just got his hands dirty, which earned him respect from the playing group and the coaches,” Clarke said. It was during the VFL finals that Pickett really began to make a name for himself. In the qualifying final against Essendon, the Tigers came from 40 points down at three-quarter time to win. Pickett helped get them going with a bone-rattling contested mark. “I thought that this guy is either crazy or his courage is unbelievable,” Clarke said. He played well in the preliminary final against Port Melbourne and in the Grand Final against Williamstown was best afield with 20 touches and a goal, three marks and nine tackles. Once Graham’s injury was confirmed, Hardwick just had to pick him for the AFL Grand Final. Stack didn’t do enough in the BIG-GAME PERFORMER: Pickett’s best-on-ground display in the VFL Grand Final led to his AFL debut on the biggest stage a week later (right).

VFL game to satisfy the coach, while Pickett offered more from a tactical perspective than McIntosh and Ross. He was receiving advice from various quarters within the club – solicited and otherwise – that Pickett was ready. “GWS sometimes played three taggers in effect and they might have gone to Kayne Lambert, Dustin Martin and Dion Prestia at stages, so we needed another guy who offered transition run and Marlion fitted that bill better than the others,” he said. “He gave us flexibility because he could play on the wing, through the centre and also across half-forward.” It took only until the second quarter for Hardwick to know he had made the right decision. By the third term he was enjoying the show, like every other Tiger fan at the MCG. Fast-forward six months and Hardwick is excited to have Pickett at his disposal again.
He played that Grand Final on instinct RICHMOND COACH DAMIEN HARDWICK
One unique aspect of Pickett’s story is that because his first game was the Grand Final, the wait for him to play his second game has been awfully long. “I’ve only watched him play five or six times, so we’re still trying to work out where he fits,” Hardwick said. “He played that Grand Final on instinct. He has some things to work on, but he has this natural ability that we don’t want to rein in. “He’s like ‘Dusty’ (Dustin Martin) in a way. There are things he can do and can’t do, but we can use his ability to make the team better.” The data is revealing. “His GPS is incredible when we look at the raw numbers,” Hardwick said. “He doesn’t move incredibly quickly, but he never gets tackled.” Conversely, when it’s his turn to tackle, it hurts. “He’s 84kg, but it’s like being hit by someone who’s 95kg,” Edwards said. “His biggest strength is how physical he is, on top of everything else. “When you see him in the flesh, he’s really smooth and has good skills, but he’s also very physical. He hits everything at pace.” By his own admission, Pickett occupies a “weird” place on the Richmond list. For starters, he remains a rookie despite his efforts on the biggest stage of all last September. There are the contradictions that come with being the ninth-oldest player on the list while, at the

same time, 32 players at Richmond have played more senior games. He is mentor to some and the mentee of others. “I’m an older fella, but I’m a young fella as well,” he said. Hardwick likes watching him engage with the other players. “He’s a very popular member of the playing group considering he’s played one game, but I think they see him as that little brother who was in trouble but has fulfilled some of his journey. “When you look at the relationship he has with Sydney Stack and Shai Bolton, he’s a man of experience who they look up to.” Pickett has never been asked to speak to the playing group or, indeed, the entire club about his life experiences, but probably doesn’t need to. In that respect, he is an open book. “What’s past is past, so I’m not worried about talking about it,” he said. “I’ve been there and done that and, if they need help, someone to talk to, I’m here for them. I’m here for anyone.” Both of Richmond’s recent premierships have been replete with great stories. In 2017, it was the ‘come from the clouds’ narrative as the club put more than 35 years of misery

behind it to barnstorm its way to a magnificent win. Last year started with the season-ending ACL injury to champion defender Alex Rance and various other medium-term injuries that almost derailed the season. And then there was Pickett. “Just another thing to celebrate,” Edwards said. “And to think someone like that wasn’t in the AFL system at the start of the season.” List manager Hartley said there are plenty at Richmond, not just the recruiters, who deserve credit for the Pickett story. “Marlion put in the work and let’s not take away any credit from him, but there’s been enormous support from our recruiting department, our welfare department and the coaches,” he said. “Look at Xavier Clarke and the impact he’s been able to have.” But Hartley also hopes the wider football fraternity and not just those in yellow and black have enjoyed the journey as well. “Yes, it’s a win for the football club, but it’s also a win for the football community because this sort of opportunity wouldn’t have been around without the Mid-Season Draft,” he said. “That’s why we have advocated for it for so long because, without it, you’re restricting your options. “We’ve also got to judge every case on its merits. Don’t make hard and fast rules because you might be denying yourself some talent.” So what of the season ahead? The premiership medallion is locked firmly in a cupboard and both player and club are approaching 2020 with the mindset he is a one-game player.
“He trains like he knows he’s one of the older players, but he also knows that he doesn’t know everything,” Edwards said. “He just wants to learn. He takes care out there in every drill.” Pickett starts the season as a member of Richmond’s best 22 and might well end it as a star of the competition. And, while his teammates travelled far and wide at the end of the season, he remained in Melbourne to help his family get acclimatised but also to build his fitness base. He cut short a trip to Perth to see family and friends over the Christmas break because he didn’t feel comfortable. “I wanted to get back to Melbourne to put the work in,” he said. There’s a sense with Pickett that he understands the footy gods have handed him a golden ticket. The AFL career he dreamed of during those endless lonely nights in a prison cell has become his reality and one not to be squandered. Not that anyone at Richmond thinks that’s at all likely. “I want to play more games and really showcase what I have to offer the AFL and my team,” he said of the new season, promising a mix of “hard work, putting my body on the line and selfless running.” And if he looks back at all, it won’t be to the 2019 Grand Final, but what took place before. “Footy is my pain relief,” he said. “All the stuff I’ve been through, footy is just my outlet. I can be myself.”

STEVE HOCKING
AFL GENERAL MANAGER OF FOOTBALL
LAST YEAR: 2 u No idea is a bad idea when it comes to the AFL executive charged with managing the League’s
core business, which probably explains why he was widely howled down earlier this year when he
said he was “all ears” to rebadging the AFL competition as ‘AFLM’. Hocking never flatly rejects any suggestion and believes in consulting widely, even if his mind is reasonably made up already. It is regarded as one of his key strengths, although it will occasionally bite him on the rear end, as was the case earlier this year.

“He’s like the leader of the opposition,” said one commentator. “He can float all sorts of ideas and then see what the court of public opinion has to say.” The 6-6-6 rule was introduced under his watch last season and, while it didn’t lead to an increase in scoring, it did make for a cleaner spectacle and some fantastic frantic finishes with teams unable to flood their backline. He has streamlined the match review process and the ARC (AFL Review Centre) debuted last season, although the score review system still produces too many howlers. Under Hocking, the AFL is more attuned to what clubs are thinking and doing and one thing to watch in 2020 is what role one of his new offsiders, former North Melbourne coach Brad Scott, has to play in the game’s evolution.

GILLON McLACHLAN
AFL CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
LAST YEAR: 1 u The man who sits in the big chair
heads this list. He runs the sport and he runs the League and with all the key performance indicators healthy – attendances, TV ratings and participation – he has had a good 12 months. Talk to people across the game – players, coaches and administrators – and they generally have plenty of time for McLachlan and find him engaged and consultative, which hasn’t always been the case when it comes to the AFL’s head honchos. He faced some challenges last year when it came to matters such as fan safety and comfort at games, while the two Adam Goodes documentaries caused him to revisit an episode during his time in charge when he could have performed his role better. His main KPI for the foreseeable future is how he steers the game through the uncharted waters of the coronavirus. On this front, he has acted with caution and care, but the pressure to appease so many stakeholders must be intensely difficult. Bringing the whip-smart Brian Walsh back to the League as his media adviser was a canny, but overdue, move.
The issue for McLachlan is how much longer he will remain at the AFL and the general consensus is he will be around for two more years, during which time he will likely thrash out a new media rights deal, be it an extension by a couple of years of the existing arrangement with Foxtel, Seven and Telstra, or a new deal involving more broadcasters and perhaps a streaming partner. The more likely outcome is the former, with Seven’s balance sheet not so healthy and platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Amazon still not ready to dive deeply into live sport. Still, having Amazon as a partner for the mooted new club documentary series will be a feather in his cap. In the meantime, he has been asked by the Commission to find an internal candidate who might become his successor, or at least create stiff competition for the presumptive external favourite, Richmond boss Brendon Gale. Essendon’s Xavier Campbell was headhunted for that position in a role overseeing Marvel Stadium, but the deal fell through, so McLachlan still has some work to do.

RICHARD GOYDER
AFL COMMISSION CHAIRMAN
LAST YEAR: 3 u Whereas his predecessor Mike Fitzpatrick tended to become heavily involved only in football matters, which made sense given he was a dual Carlton premiership skipper, Goyder’s standing as one of Australia’s most successful and respected corporate executives means his focus is across the broader business. “He’s very hands on with the business side,” said one observer of Goyder, the former Wesfarmers chief executive who now is the chairman of Qantas and Woodside Petroleum.
“His expertise is in managing a business and they’re the sort of questions he asks around the commission table.” Goyder is known to be a huge supporter of Gillon McLachlan, but the one area they disagree on is the Grand Final start time. The chairman is in favour of a later start, while McLachlan prefers the traditional 2.30pm opening bounce and, for now, his view is holding sway. AFL.com.au AFL RECORD 15

ANDREW DILLON
AFL GENERAL COUNSEL, GENERAL MANAGER OF GAME DEVELOPMENT
LAST YEAR: 12 u On the integrity front, it was a big year for Dillon with Collingwood’s Jaidyn Stephenson handed a 22-match ban (12 suspended) for betting on football. West Coast star Willie Rioli was provisionally banned at the end of last season and is facing up to four years out of the game after allegedly tampering with a urine sample. Dillon also hammered out the draft assistance package that it is hoped will finally allow Gold Coast to become competitive. It was interesting to note that it was Dillon, who was front and centre, speaking on behalf of the AFL when all these announcements went down. “They’re trying to make him more visible,” said one insider. And so they should. There is no formal ‘second in charge’ at the AFL, but if McLachlan was hit by a bus, in the figurative sense, Dillon would likely become the acting chief executive of the AFL, but without any designs whatsoever on then having the job on a permanent basis.

He is so important to the AFL with his knowledge base and the respect he carries AN INSIDER ON ANDREW DILLON
He is the ‘consigliere’ for McLachlan and is the only member of the AFL’s executive team whose office is within shouting distance of his great mate. “He is so important to the AFL with his knowledge base and the respect he carries,” said one of his friends in the industry. “He has no ego and is happy to play second fiddle.”
5
ALASTAIR CLARKSON
HAWTHORN COACH
LAST YEAR: 4 u Probably the one coach with all the AFL senior management on speed dial, his record and his standing means he can make his views known to the AFL whenever and wherever he chooses, although that’s not to say it is a privilege he abuses. But four premierships as a coach and the past four flags won by his one-time proteges gives him an unusually elevated standing in the game. “His influence is macro,” said one observer. Case in point: Clarkson’s recent comment on SEN that “No bugger can score” dominated the footy news cycle and sparked earnest discussion about whether a move to 16 pla ght be worth considering. The rest of the competition watches Clarkson closely and he keeps them on their toes. This year, he radically changed Hawthorn’s pre-season,
with two training camps, a mandatory week of work experience (just like park footballers, they did weights before work and skills training afterwards) and then in January, training was cancelled for several days as the entire club rolled up its sleeves and went to assist in bushfire-affected areas. Clarkson has three years remaining on this contract and covets one more premiership with what would ostensibly be a new group of players. Then he would truly enter the discussion for being the greatest coach of all-time.

AFL RECORD THE AFL’S MOVERS AND SHAPERS
Shortly afterwards, the pair attended a game together with the AFL boss giving Warburton an ‘access all areas’ pass to a night at the footy. But he did pull the pin on a two-year extension of the rights deal with the AFL, which had been all but agreed to by his predecessor, Tim Worner. The AFL is one of the best things going for Seven, which has had a rough time of it having recently reported a $67 million loss for the December half year and with two-thirds of the value wiped off its share price in the past 12 months. Not surprisingly, Warburton, whose sporting passion is V8 Supercars, is on record telling sporting bodies they need to better demonstrate their value to broadcasters. Seven’s head of sport is Lewis Martin, the network’s long-time Melbourne managing director, and he and the AFL have an excellent working relationship. Seven holds some sway over AFL fixturing but, in return, provides generous support for AFL initiatives such as the Big Freeze and Maddie’s Match. Also noteworthy is that Seven West Media chairman Kerry Stokes is a huge footy fan. He played it at a reasonable level back in the day and covets the company’s relationship with the sport. He will keep an eye over forthcoming negotiations for a new TV deal, but it is hard to conceive an AFL TV contract going forward that doesn’t feature Seven as a major broadcaster, as long as the price is right.

He always acts in the best interests of the players a tribute to his leadership as well as that of AFLPA president Patrick Dangerfield. Marsh has already negotiated one CBA and has the next one in his sights, but this one will be much more complicated as he tries to grow the pie for AFLW players without dipping into the earnings for the men’s players, especially if the League’s next media rights deal reaps less money. He has rejected the idea that the men will need to help subsidise the women’s competition, but industry observers are scratching their heads to see how the deal might be reached otherwise.
PAUL MARSH
AFLPA CHIEF EXECUTIVE
LAST YEAR: 9 u The AFLPA membership love Marsh because, unlike some of his predecessors, he does not regard this position as a stepping stone to one elsewhere in the game, be it as a club boss or within the AFL. “He always acts in the best interests of the players, but also always with common sense,” said one close observer. “He’s a good operator in a difficult climate.” There is no more challenging issue in the game than the current coronavirus. The views of the players are wide and varied and the challenge for Marsh is to make sure they present a common front in these most difficult circumstances. That they have had one of the most important seats at the table this week is

radio hosting, his various Fox Footy on-camera roles and his new midweek Footy Classified role, he would already appear to have a full plate. But his production company, JAM TV, is deeply embedded in the AFL scene and produces Footy Classified and The Sunday Footy Show for Channel Nine and Talking Footy, The Kick, Friday Night Countdown and AFLW and state league match broadcasts for Channel Seven. The ambitious series of ‘inside the wall’ AFL club documentaries for Amazon might be next. His term as Magpie president has been extended for three years, but if you want to earn his ire, ask him how the succession plan is going at what is, just for a bit longer, the Holden Centre.

PATRICK DANGERFIELD
GEELONG STAR, AFLPA PRESIDENT
LAST YEAR: 7 u The most influential player in the game. On the field, he remains one of the most dominant midfielders in the competition and in 2019 finished just six votes shy of winning a second Brownlow Medal and was superb for the Cats during the finals despite appearing to play injured throughout September. Nobody would begrudge Dangerfield that elusive premiership. Off the field, he sits at the helm of the AFLPA, which appears as united and as resolved as ever, even though the new CBA is still a few years away. It was Dangerfield who took the initiative after the bushfires and built momentum for the successful State of Origin game that was played last month. The players have always talked a good game when it comes to representative football and, when the opportunity came to actually play, they delivered. PASSIONATE: Dangerfield remains as AFLPA chiefs Paul Marsh (top) polished as they come when and Patrick it comes to the media, be Dangerfield (right) it panel shows, guest and Collingwood hosting or match president Eddie McGuire (above). commentary.

FOXTEL CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
LAST YEAR: 13 u Foxtel’s relationship with rugby union is just about done and there is no guarantee the broadcaster’s long relationship with soccer will continue, but comparatively speaking, the partnership with the AFL is safe as houses. Whereas other sports have had their production costs reduced and some shows disappear from the Fox Sports schedule, the coming AFL season on Fox Footy will proceed with few noticeable changes and with the existing programming largely unaltered. Certainly, viewing habits have changed with much more of Fox’s AFL content now consumed through the Kayo streaming app and the growth in streaming will add a major new dimension to the next media rights negotiations. Delaney will take charge of those, but Campbell, who used to work at the AFL, will play a key role as well. Live sport remains one of the jewels in Foxtel’s crown and it is hard to see how that business can maintain its ground in a far more competitive market without a deep commitment to the AFL. Foxtel would really struggle in southern Australia without the footy.

t might have been Melbourne’s home game when it opened the 1983 season against Collingwood at the MCG, but it was quick-thinking Magpie fans who commandeered prime real estate to vent their feelings across the perimeter fencing of the old Southern Stand. “Moore Filth” read the metres-long sign as they expressed displeasure with their 1979 Brownlow medallist and former captain who quit the Pies for the Demons that summer. It was a fortuitous piece of fixturing and more than 72,000 fans were at the game. Moore played well, kicked a goal and even tangled with David Cloke, who was brought to Collingwood as his replacement, but the Magpies had the last laugh, winning by 10 points. Moore was one of the 261 players in League history to make their debut for a new club against their former team and among them were other big names such as Carl Ditterich and Terry Daniher. Barry Rowlings made his debut for Richmond in round five, 1979, having been cleared by the Hawks to the Tigers just days before. Melbourne champion Greg Wells moved to Carlton in the middle of 1980 and his first game in navy blue was against the Demons the following week.

In recent years, Travis Cloke and Dylan Shiel have opened the season for their new club against the teams they had just left. On Sunday at the MCG, Grant Birchall appears set to join their number. The four-time Hawthorn premiership half-back, who was restricted to just eight games over the past three seasons because of a series of injuries, primarily to his knees, moved to Brisbane at the end of last year, hoping a change of environment would help get him back on the field more consistently. But thoughts of easing him into the season were dashed when the fixture revealed a round one meeting between the Lions and the Hawks. The 33-year-old showed enough in Brisbane’s two Marsh Community Series clashes to make him a near-certain starter on Sunday, including a trademark
left-foot running goal against Carlton which wound the clock back several years. “He’s been good,” Lions coach Chris Fagan told SEN. “He’s played all of our practice matches and he’s completed a full pre-season.” The Lions lost Luke Hodge, another decorated former Hawk, to retirement at the end of last season after two excellent seasons at the Gabba, and were delighted to offer Birchall a one-year contract while Hawthorn was still deliberating. “He’s a different player to ‘Hodgey’, but is still an organiser on the field,” Fagan said. Birchall, who will play his 250th game the following week when Brisbane hosts North Melbourne at the Gabba, can expect a much more generous welcome from his former club than Moore did 37 years ago. And, in a similar vein, the first game in charge for new Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks will be against Sydney, the club he played with for 10 seasons.
Carlton’s 31.13 (199) against North Melbourne at Waverley Park in 1984 is the highest score.

Nicks to draw on Swans’ values
T
ASHLEY BROWNE
here could be no more appropriate first-up opponent for Matthew Nicks this weekend as he makes his coaching debut for Adelaide. The Crows host Sydney, the club he played 175 games for between 1996 and 2005, and while he might not have the words of former coaches Rodney Eade and Paul Roos ringing in his ears, he will spare them a thought as he ponders his pathway to one of footy’s toughest jobs. According to Nicks, the pair helped shape him as a player at the Swans, one who was dependable on the field while off it he was one of the architects of the “no dickheads” rule that remains a trademark of the club. Eade was all about the tactics. “Seeing what the opposition was doing and making moves that would change the game. I learned so many intricacies about the game from Rodney,” Nicks said. “With ‘Roosy’, it was the relationship side of it. They were two completely different coaches and, while I love the tactical side, I understand now that I lean more towards the relationship side.” Nicks, 44, will be drawing a bit from the Swans, particularly when it comes to leadership and empowerment as he charts a new way ahead for the Crows, who have endured a tumultuous 30 months since losing the 2017 Grand Final. There was the infamous Gold Coast training camp, two dismal seasons that followed and a searching review of the club’s football operations at the end of last season that led to the departure of coach Don Pyke, senior assistant Scott Camporeale and footy boss Brett Burton, as

DREAM JOB: New Crows coach Matthew Nicks has been shaped by his experiences as a Swans player (below).

well as a large exodus of established players. “You hear every team and organisation talk about their values, but do they live it? That’s the key,” Nicks said. “Organisations can write it on a wall that these are our values, this is what we live by, but just because it’s written on the wall, it doesn’t always mean it’s happening. “I think why Sydney has been so respected is because they live by that, it’s not just written on the wall and that’s what we’re trying to work through as a group.”
Nicks walked away from footy for 12 months after he retired but then combined work as a stockbroker with part-time coaching at club level in Sydney and then Scotch College in Adelaide. He re-entered the AFL system full-time in 2010 as a development coach and then an assistant with Port Adelaide until 2018. His coaching education was rounded out last year with a stint as Leon Cameron’s senior assistant at GWS. He understands the unique nature of two-team towns and, in particular, the daily scrutiny he will face in South Australia. “Adelaide is so passionate about football; I wouldn’t want to work anywhere else,” he said. “It’s the dream job, but it’s like the share market. Someone is going to put a price on it and when that price falls, that’s when the pressure will come.”

Loyalty keeps star Crow grounded

ASHLEY BROWNE
ory Sloane is that rare breed of champion player for the Adelaide Crows who was born and raised in Victoria, but came and stayed in South Australia. No heading back across the border at the end of his first or second contract, no pining for Moomba, a Myki card, a Big M or Peter Mitchell reading the nightly news. Sloane is a Crow for life, content and fulfilled with life in Adelaide, both the club and the city, which is why his 200th game this weekend will be a major cause for celebration. “They gave me a crack at the AFL,” he told the AFL Record of his devotion to Adelaide and to not follow in the footsteps of Patrick Dangerfield, Jack Gunston and Jake Lever, among others. “My wife has been there eight years and me for 12 and we love Adelaide the city, although we probably make too many visits to the wine region. They’re amazing. “It’s a really great place to live and we make the most of it. You have to enjoy life to the fullest and we certainly do that in Adelaide.” Life has never been dull for Sloane at the Crows. There have been big-name player departures, the tragic passing of senior coach Phil Walsh in 2015, the crushing 2017 Grand Final defeat, the infamous Gold Coast training camp that followed and, finally, the extensive and far-reaching review at the end of last season. “Many things have gone on at this footy club and the way we’ve responded has made me incredibly proud to pull on the colours,” he said.
DRIVEN TO SUCCEED: Rory Sloane has remained positive despite the highs and lows during his career.
Sloane is terrific company and one of the more upbeat personalities you would meet in footy. It’s not just the game that has dealt him some blows. In 2018, he and wife Belinda lost their first son, Leo, who was stillborn.
I’ve had some stuff go on in life and some challenging times RORY SLOANE
Courageously, they launched a new national stillbirth research campaign called Lion Warrior. And when Sonny Leo Sloane was born last year, the football world rejoiced. So when you ask Sloane to dwell on the highs and lows of his career, there is always the silver lining to be had. “I’ve had some stuff go on in life and some challenging times, but to enjoy life is a gift,” he said. “I’m probably more proud of the Grand Final than disappointed. “Yes, the result was what it was, but to make a Grand Final and
play in that was one of the best experiences of my life. “Hopefully, we’ll get back, make another one and change the result a little bit.” Sloane is looking forward to his milestone game against Sydney, with loads of family and friends in town. But he’s also embracing it as the start of a new chapter at the Crows, with new coach Matthew Nicks and a younger, fresher playing group. “We’ve had a fair bit of change and it will be exciting for our fans, particularly to see some of the young kids we have coming through,” he said. “We have a really young group with a really senior core. “We have a lot of guys who have played some exciting chunks of footy and these young guys who are coming in who are going to inject a bit of youth and speed as well. “It’s going to get this group back playing solid finals footy as soon as it can.” And Sloane, who turned 30 last Tuesday, is ready to embrace the journey the Crows are about to embark on. “That’s the goal,” he said. “That’s something else I’ve learned over the years. You can get bogged down in the industry, but I feel like I’ve enjoyed myself from the start through to here.”

ONE WEEK at a TIME RETURN OF THE BIG V: Tiger star Dustin Martin was named best afield as the State of Origin clash helped raise more than $8 million for bushfire relief (inset).
State clash a surefire success ASHLEY BROWNE

epresentative football is back on the agenda after last month’s bushfire relief game ticked every box imaginable. First, and most importantly, footy raised more than $8 million through various initiatives but, primarily, the Friday night State of Origin game between Victoria and the All-Stars was played out in front of 51,052 fans at Marvel Stadium and was a sell-out. An additional 1.7 million people watched the combined TV broadcast on the Seven Network and Fox Footy.
70 AFL RECORD
AR1 p64-72 OneWeek .indd 70
The game raised $3.9 million through ticket sales, collections and contributions, while the AFL, the 18 clubs and players, through the AFLPA, tipped in $2.5 million. Club-related activities accounted for another $1.6 million. “Our clubs, the players, broadcast, commercial and licensing partners, Marvel Stadium venue partners and all our fans come together and have raised an amazing amount of money and I want to thank every single one of you,” AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan said. More than 30 people lost their lives in the bushfires, which also destroyed more than 2500 homes and hundreds of businesses across Australia. The game was unlike any seen at AFL level for quite some time. The Vics twice trailed by five goals, but stormed home with nine unanswered goals in the final term to win 24.10 (154) to 15.18 (108).
Sydney’s Tom Papley kicked five goals for the victors, while Richmond superstar Dustin Martin was voted best afield. Not since 2016 has there been a higher-scoring club game. Granted, defensive play wasn’t at a premium and the 72 combined tackles was about half the figure of your standard AFL match. Still, there was some breathtaking skill on display and the ball moved from end to end at speed. There were also a few party tricks that are usually saved for the training track. “Everyone had a great time and the game was super-competitive. It was a lot of fun,” star Victorian (and Collingwood) midfielder Scott Pendlebury said. “We played with natural instincts, it was offensive and we were not too stressed about structures.” Pendlebury was one of the first to sign on for the bushfire game and is a holdover from the 150th anniversary game in 2008 that also featured Victoria playing the All-Stars. And he believes there is a path forward for similar games in the future. “This is the right time of year,” he said. “You can still get a game in for your club and, from a conditioning point of view, you’re not worried about load management and freshening up.” As for frequency, Pendlebury suggested there might not be the appetite for an annual game, but anything after that is up for discussion. “Whenever it is, the money we raise should go back to local communities,” he said. “Players don’t need to be paid. Staff don’t need to be paid.” But, he said, the games should happen. “I love pulling on the Big V. I’ve been a big advocate since I played in the first one. “You form a bond and friendships with guys you don’t come across much during the year.”
TOP AWARD FOR ICONIC IMAGE u AFL Media chief photographer Michael Willson has created history by winning the Melbourne Press Club’s Gold Quill award. His iconic shot of Tayla Harris’ ‘The Kick’ made him the first photographer in 25 years to win the award. The photo of the Carlton AFLW star in full flight last year sparked a controversy when the Seven Network temporarily removed it from its social media channels after abusive online comments directed at Harris. The judges described the photo as “one for the ages” and said it “turned the tide of public commentary on women’s football, women in sport generally and attitudes to women across society”. The citation continued: “This high-quality image froze forever this emblematic moment and triggered a national conversation that would otherwise never have happened.” The photo received worldwide attention including CNN and the BBC and was fashioned into a statue that sat in Melbourne’s Fed Square during last year’s finals.

ROUND 1 MILESTONES
ONE WEEK at a TIME
GRAND FINAL GLORY: Fans are taken behind the scenes of Richmond’s momentous 2019 season.
Diary of a Tigers triumph ASHLEY BROWNE
S
EDITOR’S LETTER
MICHAEL LOVET T
eason 2019 was momentous for Richmond and not just because it ended with another premiership. It was a year with twists and turns, starting from the knee injury to champion defender Alex Rance in the opening game, from which he did not return, to a host of other setbacks in the early part of the season.
u Who could have written
Then there was the great list management success stories, notably Sydney Stack and Marlion Pickett. The Tigers climbed from mid-table in the middle of the season to win the flag in dominant fashion and it was truly a premiership to be savoured, which is why every Richmond fan should be clamouring to read Stronger and Bolder, the fly-on-the-wall account of the finals campaign, written by award-winning journalist Konrad Marshall. His detailed diary of the club’s breakthrough 2017 premiership win, Yellow and Black, was rightly hailed as one of the best football books written for some time and he has backed up two years later with another riveting read.
this script? There is so much uncertainty about the 2020 season and it has nothing to do with whether Richmond will go back-to-back. A virus few of us had even heard of a month or two ago has disrupted the season, but out of the doom and gloom the game’s heart is still beating. This week, the AFL announced a 17-round
72 AFL RECORD
AR1 p64-72 OneWeek .indd 72
season would be played, with the original 23-round season (including byes) to be remodelled. The only thing we know for sure is that the first four rounds will be played as scheduled, starting with the opening round which kicks off with the traditional season-opener between Richmond and Carlton at the MCG on Thursday night.
Pretty much everyone at Tigerland opens up to Marshall and conversations with and about key Tiger figures including chief executive Brendon Gale, coach Damien Hardwick and skipper Trent Cotchin are fascinating. What remains clear is that Hardwick’s emotional intelligence, as well as his ability to coax the best out of a playing group that faced some challenges last season, is off the charts. Sometimes it takes just a few words, other times a complex multimedia presentation. Marshall also delves deeply into Stack and Pickett – how they arrived at Punt Rd and what their immediate impact meant to their teammates and the club. Richmond fans will love the Grand Final recap, from the reason behind the signed rocks in the players’ lockers before the game to the words and deeds during and afterwards. Actually, scrap that thought. They’ll love every word and every chapter. And footy fans of every other colour and stripe should be equally compelled by it. STRONGER AND BOLDER: THE STORY OF RICHMOND’S 2019 PREMIERSHIP, BY KONRAD MARSHALL. PUBLISHED BY HARDIE GRANT & AFL BOOKS. RRP: $29.95
Of course, there will be no crowds and that will be the case for the foreseeable future. No one can predict how long coronavirus will impact our everyday lives, let alone when fans can return to watch their favourite team. Empty stadiums, racecourses, golf courses and tennis courts are the new norm across the world. Add the AFL and AFLW to that list.

DEMON MOVE: Christian Petracca is set for a midfield role in 2019.
FOCUS ON MARSH COMMUNITY SERIES
u An off-season full of the cliché-ridden press conferences about player ‘X’ getting more midfield time and player ‘Y’ having the best pre-season ever was put on show in the Marsh Community Series. AFL Fantasy coaches monitor the pre-season matches in order to help make informed decisions for their squads. Watching the roles of players who may get a scoring boost from playing through the middle is a priority as the centre bounce attendances are tracked. Lachie Neale (164) and Marcus Bontempelli (151) enjoyed their opening Marsh Community Series games, but it was Christian Petracca (145) who got Fantasy tongues wagging. The Demon looks set for a midfield role in 2020 and shows plenty of value at $563,000 as a forward.
Petracca’s teammate Jack Viney (110, 114) was one of 10 players to score 100 or more in each of the two games. His ownership increased off the back of those performances as $611,000 is a small price to pay if he can maintain that output. Of the rookies, Matt Rowell showed his Fantasy game by scoring at almost a point a minute. He and Marlion Pickett are two of the most selected players in Fantasy Classic and everything points towards them being profitable cash cows. Tom Mitchell and Sam Docherty have been the top averaging players in their respective positions in the past. The duo have received hefty price discounts and are popular picks in both Classic and Draft. They ticked all the boxes over the MCS and will prove to be two of the biggest bargains in 2019.
TOP 20 AVERAGE DRAFT PICKS u As he was last season, Brodie Grundy (right) has been the first choice of Fantasy Draft coaches as the No. 1 pick leading into round one. Collingwood’s star ruckman has averaged more than 120 in each of the past two seasons. Not only is he a walk-up captain option, his numbers are significantly better than most players who can be picked up as a ruck. Max Gawn isn’t too far behind as the second ruckman of choice and fifth overall. Midfielders are generally the highest-scoring players in Fantasy. Jack Macrae was the first MID off the board in most drafts, while Tom

Mitchell was an interesting choice for some. Coming back from a year off, he’s been a top-five pick across the leagues completed leading up to round one. His average draft pick (ADP) is three. It was close between Mitchell and Lachie Whitfield. Whitfield averaged 114 last season and is the only forward available who went at more than 100. He has been snapped up in the first round with most looking to lock away the Giants forward in a position that appears to drop away quickly. Only six forwards were taken in the first 50 selections based on ADP, with just Dustin Martin and Toby Greene in the top 30. There was some movement in ADP as the pre-season went on. With every draft completed and more information available, there were some flyers and sliders that are set to make a difference to how leagues play out. Andrew Brayshaw’s extra midfield time during the Marsh Community Series saw his stocks rise. His ADP of 114 could end up being a steal if he is able to break out like many are predicting.

ssendon duo Matthew Lloyd and James Hird starred as the competition’s newest venue hosted its first game. More than 43,000 streamed into Marvel Stadium, then known as Colonial Stadium, to watch the Bombers thrash Port Adelaide under the roof. Essendon was fired up after its disappointing finish the previous year, having just won the pre-season competition, and showed no mercy to a hapless Power combination. Michael Long, wearing distinctive silvery-blue boots with no stripes, started the ball rolling for the Bombers by kicking the first goal at the stadium. Lloyd and skipper Hird then went on a goalkicking spree which netted eight goals between them in a lopsided first half. Lloyd already had booted seven goals by midway through the third quarter when he landed heavily after colliding with former teammate Gavin Wanganeen in a marking contest. Showing great courage running with the flight of the ball, the star spearhead was

Essendon was in complete control all over the ground from the first bounce, with Mark Mercuri and Blake Caracella dangerous inside the attacking 50m, Joe Misiti the general in the midfield and Dustin Fletcher leading a tight backline. Misiti gathered a team-high 29 disposals, including 18 handballs. But teammate Jason Johnson collected the three

round of 1972, Peter Hudson was continuing where he left off in a triumphant 1971 when he equalled Bob Pratt’s record for most goals in an AFL/VFL season with 150. The champion Hawthorn goalkicker had booted eight goals until just before half-time when his right knee buckled in a marking contest with Melbourne defender Barry Bourke, forcing him to be carried off on a stretcher. Hudson played only three games in the next two seasons, returning to his home state Tasmania for two years before completing a remarkable comeback to League football in 1977. Renowned for the brilliant use of his body, reading of the play and accuracy in front of goal, Hudson holds the best goals-per-game average (5.64) in League history. The four-time Coleman medallist played in Hawthorn’s premiership team in 1971, when he finished equal second in the Brownlow Medal. The two-time All-Australian, 74, is a Legend in the Australian Football Hall of Fame.

origin of the surname of Melbourne’s Steven May is that in medieval times it was given to someone born in May (named for Maia, an ancient fertility goddess) or to someone with a sunny disposition (May being the height of spring in Europe). However, other possibilities have been advanced, the chief being that it is a shortened form of Matthew (“gift of God”). Steven is the 11th May to play at senior AFL/VFL level. The most notable have been Essendon’s father and son duo, Charlie and Wally May, both nicknamed ‘Chooka’ and both dual premiership players – Charlie in 1923-24 and Wally in 1949-50.

TAP: An interesting question. In most cases, the reigning premier has won its opening match of the following season, but there have been 38 times it has lost and three times it has drawn. A fun note is that all the drawn games were Carlton-Fitzroy encounters. Interestingly, on four occasions the reigning premier has lost by 50 points or more, with the greatest losses being Melbourne against Geelong in 1949 and Richmond against Carlton in 1981, both by 62 points. Let’s hope the Tigers do a better job against Carlton this round. During Collingwood’s four flags in a row from 1927-30, it won all the round one games the following year, but only just, with the biggest margin being just 17 points in 1929 against Richmond. Gordon Coventry kicked a total of 18 goals in those four games, with his brother Syd captaining the Magpies in each of those contests.

Rising Star has a thirst for learning and leading. HOWARD KOTTON
S
am Walsh’s impact in his debut AFL season was immense and his influence is set to grow this year. The teenager, who became Carlton’s first winner of the Ron Evans Medal, has been elevated to the Blues’ leadership group, such is the respect he has held in at Ikon Park. Despite his inexperience, Walsh has vowed to be open and honest with his teammates. “I’ve been able to gain a fair bit of knowledge on the game from older players and I’ve learnt a lot of things in the past year,” he said. “I’m starting to be a bit more vocal with things I see and I like following the game, so if I feel
80 AFL RECORD
AR01 p80 RisingStar.indd 80
like something needs to be said, I’ll say it.” From the moment he stepped through the doors at Ikon Park in November 2018, his professionalism stood out, showing a willingness to work hard and with a thirst to learn. When he donned the Carlton jumper for the first time in the opening round last year, the former Geelong Falcon finished with 24 disposals and four clearances and looked comfortable at the elite level. Immediately forming a close relationship with co-captain Patrick Cripps, Walsh was a shining light when the Blues struggled to win in the first half of the season.
As Carlton’s fortunes improved under new coach David Teague, Walsh’s work rate didn’t diminish. In 22 games, the midfielder averaged 25.1 disposals, 9.6 contested possessions, 5.1 marks, 3.4 clearances, 3.2 tackles and 320m gained. He broke Champion Data’s record for most disposals by a first-year player with 554, surpassing Giant Toby Greene’s 539 in 2012. If the pre-season games are an indication, Walsh is set to move to another stage in his football development in 2020 – an exciting prospect for the Blues and the competition.

HEADS YOU WIN
COLAC, MARCH 9, 2020
u It’s been a bizarre start to the
2020 season with footy turned on its head – and quite literally in the case of Geelong’s Luke Dahlhaus. The livewire forward crash-landed during the Cats’ second Marsh Community Series game against

Essendon at Colac in Victoria’s Western District earlier this month. Fortunately there was no collateral damage, other than some bruised pride! The Cats and Dahlhaus will be hoping to be up and about when the season finally kicks off. PHOTO: MICHAEL WILLSON/AFL PHOTOS @MICHAELCWILLSON

EXPLOSIVE: Jordan De Goey booted two goals in the Magpies’ win over the Bulldogs in round 14 last season.
ROUND
1
with Michael Lovett, Ashley Browne and Howard Kotton
THURSDAY, MARCH 19, MCG u Once again, the sizzle might be better than the sausage for the season-opener. The defending champs enter the season close to full strength apart from running defender Bachar Houli, while Carlton will be missing its two main key forwards Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay. Eddie Betts’ return as a Blue has also been delayed by a calf strain at training. BROWNE SAYS: Tigers by 38
FRIDAY, MARCH 20, MRVL u A cracker to open the Friday night schedule featuring two teams tipped to play deep into September. No Aaron Naughton for the Bulldogs might be the difference here as it might take their forward line more time to settle. Bring the popcorn as the ball moves freely through two crack midfields. BROWNE SAYS: Magpies by 5
SATURDAY, MARCH 210, MRVL u The Bombers have had an interrupted summer with 15 players in for some type of surgery,
28 AFL RECORD
but they looked good in both their Marsh Community Series games with some slick ball movement. The Dockers also went 2-0, but they’re still learning the Justin Longmuir way and a win on the road might be a tough ask first up. BROWNE SAYS: Essendon by 15
SATURDAY, MARCH 21, AO u The Swans are likely to struggle to kick a winning score in the absence of injured star forward Lance Franklin. Both clubs’ performances during the Marsh Community Series were far from convincing, but the Crows at home should give new coach Matthew Nicks the perfect start. KOTTON SAYS: Crows by 40
SATURDAY, MARCH 21, GS u How will GWS rebound after the devastating defeat in last year’s Grand Final? The early signs have been good, but they come up against the Cats, who were also disappointed with their finish to 2019. Stephen Coniglio will make a welcome return as skipper for the first time for the Giants, who should be too strong. KOTTON SAYS: Giants by 30
SATURDAY, MARCH 21, MS u While all eyes will be on Gold Coast’s much-touted youngsters, Port Adelaide would see this as a golden opportunity to make a positive start on the road. The Suns have begun the season well in their two seasons under coach Stuart Dew and this trend should continue against the Power. KOTTON SAYS: Suns by 9
SUNDAY, MARCH 22, MCG u The Lions hit the MCG in good nick while the Hawks might be a wait and see at this early stage. All-Australian small forward Charlie Cameron is coming off a five-goal haul in the final Marsh Community Series game against Carlton and a much-fitter Cam Rayner is ready to make an impact after two years in the system. LOVETT SAYS: Lions by 16
SUNDAY, MARCH 22, MRVL u An intriguing battle to kick off Sunday footy for 2020. The Saints are a real watch this year and completed a 2-0 Marsh Community Series, while the Roos went 1-1. With doubts over Ben Brown’s fitness and the instant impact of St Kilda’s big-name recruits, notably the smooth-moving Bradley Hill, it points to a Saints win. LOVETT SAYS: Saints by 11
SUNDAY, MARCH 22, OS u You’d expect the Eagles to flex their muscle at home over an unknown Melbourne outfit. Yes, the Demons have had a good summer but they’d need to improve lengths on their 2019 form to win here. Look for high-profile Eagles recruit Tim Kelly to rack up early Brownlow Medal votes and it will be interesting to see how Max Gawn performs as Dees captain. LOVETT SAYS: Eagles by 27

Game Preview u What it means for Richmond: A win – and a big one – will declare that the powerful force that stormed to last year’s premiership is just as motivated and gunning for another. u What it means for Carlton: It would be a massive statement to defeat the reigning premier in the season-opener, especially given the Blues have lost their past nine games against the Tigers and will go into the game with such an undermanned forward line.
u The stat: Will Dustin Martin get off the chain? In the past three season-openers, the Tigers champion has gathered at least 30 disposals and had a considerable influence, especially in 2017 when he booted four goals as well. u The match-up: Trent Cotchin v Patrick Cripps. They starred in last year’s opening round, so the clash between the Richmond captain and Carlton co-captain in the midfield will be well worth watching. JENNIFER PHELAN
Prediction: Richmond by 23 points
IT’S A BIG WEEK FOR ... Jack Martin
u He had to go the long way around to get to the Blues from Gold Coast via the NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft and will be keen to show he was worth all the trouble when he runs out on the big (fan-less) stage tonight.

Game Preview u What it means for Western Bulldogs: This is a chance for the Bulldogs to show the AFL that they are not just ‘around the mark’ but truly one of the competition’s elite teams. Kicking off the season with a win over one of last season’s preliminary finalists would be a great fillip for Luke Beveridge’s men. u What it means for Collingwood: It is a tough start to the season for the Magpies, who face the Bulldogs and then Richmond in the first two rounds.
After a disappointing end to 2019, Nathan Buckley’s charges would be keen to make a flying start. u The stat: 178 – that’s how many AFL Fantasy points Jack Macrae racked up the last time the Bulldogs faced the Magpies in round 14 last season at this venue. Lock him in as your captain. u The match-up: Tim English v Brodie Grundy. English starts as the rank outsider against star Magpie Grundy, but the young Bulldog has made massive strides over the off-season. JOURDAN CANIL
Prediction: Collingwood by nine points
IT’S A BIG WEEK FOR ... Josh Bruce
u Could the key forward be the one to take the Bulldogs to the next level? The former Saint and Giant will need to crash packs to give the small forwards a chance against the Magpies tonight.

Essendon 16.11 (107) d Fremantle Dockers 14.8 (92) MARVEL STADIUM
Game Preview u What it means for Essendon: After an injury-hit pre-season with many players having surgery, the Bombers could put that behind them with a strong start to 2020. Essendon will be without key players Dyson Heppell and Cale Hooker because of injury. u What it means for Fremantle Dockers: Under new coach Justin Longmuir, the Dockers will be keen to begin their 2020 campaign in form. Playing on the road may be less of a factor for the travelling Fremantle line-up, given there is no crowd.
u The stat: The last time Fremantle won a round one clash away from Perth was in 2014, when they defeated Collingwood at this venue by 70 points. u The match-up: Rory Lobb v Brandon Zerk-Thatcher. The young Bombers defender could take on the experienced forward in what will be an intriguing battle. Zerk-Thatcher was impressive with his intercept marking in the Marsh Community Series and a stopping job on Lobb would go a long way towards an Essendon win. CALLUM TWOMEY
Prediction: Essendon by 11 points

Conor McKenna
u Back from Ireland and keen to play in the forward line this year, McKenna will be an interesting player to watch today. Essendon values his run and carry from half-back, but he has spent some of summer training as a half-forward. An important player in the Bombers’ hopes this year.

Game Preview u What it means for Adelaide Crows: After reshaping the list in the off-season, the rebuilding Crows will be looking to kick off the Matthew Nicks era in style with a win under their new senior coach. u What it means for Sydney Swans: The youthful Swans – without champion forward Lance Franklin – will be keen to spring a surprise on the road after missing the finals last year for the first time since 2009.
u The stat: The Crows have won their past two encounters against the Swans and lead 25-16 in the overall history between the clubs. u The match-up: Luke Brown v Tom Papley. He rarely makes the headlines, but Brown is a quality lockdown small defender. The Crow will get the important job on Papley, who is the Swans’ most dangerous forward at ground level. LEE GASKIN
Prediction: Adelaide Crows by eight points
IT’S A BIG WEEK FOR ... Rory Sloane
u Appointed sole Adelaide captain this season, Sloane will celebrate his 200th game tonight. The Crows will be keen to put in a big performance for the popular leader.

ROUND 11, 2016
Geelong Cats 14.14 (98) d GWS Giants 14.4 (88) GMHBA STADIUM
Game Preview u What it means for GWS Giants: After the disappointment of the way last season ended, the Giants have started 2020 positively during the pre-season and need to continue their form against a fellow finals contender. u What it means for Geelong Cats: The Cats failed to kick more than nine goals in both of their Marsh Community Series losses. Tom Hawkins, Gary Ablett, Esava Ratugolea and Gary Rohan need to get their hands on the ball tonight.
u The stat: In last year’s thrilling win on the road, the Giants’ three athletic tall forwards Jeremy Cameron, Harry Himmelberg and Jeremy Finlayson combined for eight goals. GWS won the marks inside 50 count 19-10. u The match-up: Lachie Whitfield v Gary Ablett. Whitfield covers plenty of territory, but he’s also improved his one-on-one game greatly over the past two seasons, so he can match up on Ablett in Geelong’s forward half. ADAM CURLEY
Prediction: GWS Giants by 27 points
IT’S A BIG WEEK FOR ... Stephen Coniglio
u The new captain leads the Giants into a new era and he will be keen to put his stamp on the club’s on-field performance from the first game of the year tonight. The star midfielder was sorely missed in the second half of last season.

Game Preview u What it means for Gold Coast Suns: A chance to kick off their third season under Stuart Dew with a bang. The Suns were impressive during the Marsh Community Series with wins over Geelong and the Adelaide Crows and, with a team fresh full of new faces, there’s genuine optimism at Carrara. u What it means for Port Adelaide: There’s no mincing words at Port in 2020 – this is a make-or-break season for coach Ken Hinkley and his team would expect nothing short of four premiership points against the battling Suns.

IT’S A BIG WEEK FOR ... Brandon Ellis
u After 176 games and two premierships in eight seasons for Richmond, Ellis will play his first game in Gold Coast colours. His last match was the Grand Final in front of 100,014 spectators – a vast difference to an empty Metricon Stadium.
Prediction: Port Adelaide by 10 points
ASHLEY BROWNE
MICHAEL LOVETT Richmond Western Bulldogs Essendon Adelaide Crows GWS Giants Port Adelaide St Kilda Brisbane Lions West Coast Eagles
u The stat: Port Adelaide has won 10 of 11 contests between the clubs, with Gold Coast’s only victory being its historic first as a club in 2011. The Power have won the past 10 games by an average of 44 points. u The match-up: Charlie Dixon v Sam Collins. Former Sun Dixon looms as the forward line linchpin for Port Adelaide. Gold Coast has a man well equipped to handle him though, with Collins back from an injury-interrupted 2019 and in fine form through the Marsh Community Series. MICHAEL WHITING

Game Preview u What it means for North Melbourne: The optimism about the Roos from last year has dissipated, in part because several stars had interrupted pre-seasons. However, most of them are ready to go and the momentum can roll on. u What it means for St Kilda: Brett Ratten has a way of winning people over, and many are tipping a finals assault for his Saints. Pre-season hype counts for little once the premiership season starts, so they will be looking to take an early scalp.
u The stat: North Melbourne has won nine of its past 11 games against St Kilda, while star on-baller Ben Cunnington averages more possessions (24.3) against the Saints than any other opposition. u The match-up: Todd Goldstein v Rowan Marshall. The master and the apprentice? Goldstein might not be the AFL’s premier ruckman any more, but he returned to some of his best form last year, when Marshall announced himself as a seriously promising big man. MARC McGOWAN
Prediction: St Kilda by 18 points
IT’S A BIG WEEK FOR ... Bradley Hill
u The Saints were the busiest club in last year’s trade period as they brought in five players, but none was bigger than Hill. He provides much-needed dash, skills and ball-winning ability, but the expectations are high.

FLYING HIGH: James Worpel had a superb 2019 season, culminating in him winning Hawthorn’s best and fairest for the first time.
Game Preview u What it means for Hawthorn: There are varied opinions on the Hawks’ list, but most agree they’re a fringe finals contender rather than a flag fancy. Any opportunity to defeat a side that might finish in and around them is hugely important. u What it means for Brisbane Lions: People are lining up to predict a Lions tumble – even if only to the lower reaches of the top eight rather than outside of it. One way to silence those thinking they’re a one-season wonder is to start strongly.
u The stat: Hawthorn has failed to score more than 73 points in four straight losses to Brisbane, all of them in the past two seasons. u The match-up: Jonathon Patton v Harris Andrews. Patton’s brown and gold debut could hardly come against a tougher opponent. Andrews earned his first All-Australian blazer last season and the former Giant will have to earn every possession and make the most of his opportunities. MARC McGOWAN
Prediction: Brisbane Lions by 12 points

IT’S A BIG WEEK FOR ... Chad Wingard
u The dual All-Australian cost the Hawks plenty at the trade table but showed signs of life as a midfielder late in his first injury-riddled season at Waverley Park. There are no excuses this time around and the expectation is he will be an A-grader in 2020, as a midfielder-forward.

ROUND 14, 2017
Melbourne 15.9 (99) d West Coast Eagles 14.12 (96) SUBIACO OVAL
Game Preview u What it means for West Coast Eagles: The Eagles have not had their best players available through the pre-season and they have looked rusty. With Jack Darling, Jeremy McGovern and Josh Kennedy overcoming hurdles, the Eagles will want to remind themselves how powerful this list is. u What it means for Melbourne: A gruelling summer under new performance manager Darren Burgess has sought to give the players confidence they can match it physically with anyone. They will
find out if they can against a deep Eagles midfield that runs both ways. u The stat: West Coast rated 10th for centre bounce clearance differential in 2019 (–0.3), while the Demons ranked third (+1.4). It will be a crucial part of today’s match-up, with ruckmen Nic Naitanui and Max Gawn vital to their team’s chances. u The match-up: Elliot Yeo v Jack Viney. Both are contested bulls, win the hard ball in the midfield and negate when they need to. NATHAN SCHMOOK
Prediction: West Coast Eagles by 18 points
