EDITOR’S LETTER

he 126th season of League football starts at the MCG on Wednesday night with a Grand Final rematch, and two unusual quirks of what we hope will be a season close to normal after two years of exhausting, pandemic-induced disruption and dislocation. It is the first time the season has opened on a Wednesday night and the first time since 2009 that the Grand Final rematch has been staged in round one. It will be the hallmark of the AFL’s Festival of Football, as the game returns to its heartland with a bang, after another COVID outbreak in Victoria last July meant the last part of the home and away season was played behind closed doors and the finals series again moved entirely out of the state. Melbourne won its first flag in 57 years at Perth’s Optus Stadium and while the club celebrated with its fans at an MCG event in December, this clash with the Western Bulldogs will mark the game’s homecoming. Despite the unprecedented timing and the unusual match-up, it should be quite the night and a spectacular opening to the season. With all venues except for Optus Stadium operating at full capacity and every player, coach and official now fully vaccinated, hopes are

high that there will no repeat of 2020, where the season was shut down and then resumed in hubs with fewer games and shorter quarters, or the fixture chaos of last season where games were moved around at a moment’s notice. But there is a new contingency in place that the AFL hopes will allow the season to continue without the chaos of 2020 and 2021. The new top-up rule will allow clubs to nominate up to 20 players they can draw on if a COVID outbreak decimates their playing list. If a club is down to 30 available listed players, then it can activate a player from its contingency list to train and, if there are just 28 available players, then they can select a top-up for an AFL game provided they first give priority to their AFL-listed players. Clubs can access top-up players through their aligned state league

clubs or through their Next Generation or Northern academies, but they must be over-age. Melbourne enters the new season as the team to beat. The withering second-half burst in the Grand Final that turned a three-goal deficit into a 74-point win remains vivid. Rival teams will have burned the midnight oil over the summer to devise new strategies to break down a midfield that includes stars such as Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver and is powered by the competition’s pre-eminent ruckman Max Gawn. The Steven May-Jake Lever combination sets them up nicely down back, but the Demons have stars across every line. They also have especially strong motivation for a reigning premier which is to win the Grand Final again, this time in front of their

ONE WEEK at a TIME adoring fans, most of whom didn’t make it to Perth last year. The challengers will be led by the Western Bulldogs, who were so impressive and resolute through the finals last year. It was their exhaustive Launceston-Brisbane-Adelaide-Perth travel itinerary in September that might have cooked them. The Brisbane Lions have been finals disappointments in the past three years and it will be fascinating to see whether Chris Fagan changes things up this season. The same with Ken Hinkley at Port Adelaide. Intrigue surrounds Richmond and whether there is one last premiership tilt left in that mighty group. The same with Geelong, which will have 14 players on the list who are already 30-plus or will be by the end of the season. Essendon fans enter the season hoping that the 6400-day stretch since their club’s last finals win might come to an end, while Fremantle has bold aspirations to climb up the ladder. New coaches have been installed at three large Victorian clubs. First-timers Sam Mitchell at Hawthorn and Craig McRae at Collingwood will have time on their side, but they’re a bit less patient at Carlton, where Michael Voss understands that finals are the expectation. AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan hopes that 400,000 fans will be at the footy this weekend to mark the start of the season.

SUNNY FUTURE AS KING RE-SIGNS

FIVE BURNING QUESTIONS

EYE ON THE BIG PICTURE: New Magpie coach Craig McRae with Jordan De Goey.

with SEN’S NATHAN BUCKLEY Imitation is footy’s greatest version of flattery, so what aspects of Melbourne’s game-plan might we see other clubs adopting in 2022? u A heavily-contested brand of footy is first and foremost. It is easier to see but harder to imitate because they’ve got the players to execute that plan. They were definitely a side that were prepared to get off the lines with their ball-use, but they ran straighter lines as the season progressed last year and they really trusted their contest in front of the ball. I think we will see more forward footy across the board this year, although we have been saying that for the last couple of seasons. You are handed the keys to an expansion club and can pick any player in the competition to start with. Who and why? u It would be a Dylan Grimes, Darcy Moore or Jeremy Howe type of player. You really can build from the back. It provides a lot of scope to be aggressive through the midfield and to really attack with gusto given you know you have the type of player who can generate offense while also closing down opposition forays with equal aplomb. The way the game has progressed, they have become so important. What’s your one key piece of advice to rookie coaches Sam Mitchell and Craig McRae as the weekly grind of the home and away season begins? u Don’t sweat the small stuff. Take the lessons from your losses, don’t over-analyse them, and keep the bigger picture in mind. That’s the biggest challenge for first-time senior coaches. Getting caught up in the short term and the various ups and downs and not taking into account the bigger picture. Will it be hard to emotionally distance yourself from Collingwood or will you remain a diehard fan? u The perspective of how I’m going to be with Collingwood will be different from the reality. I want them to do really well because I’ve got skin in the game. I’m

u The ever-present AFL trade

chatter just got that little bit quieter, with Ben King signing a two-year contract extension with Gold Coast. The 21-year-old kicked 89 goals through 53 games in his first three seasons with the Suns and Victorian-based clubs were salivating at the thought of bringing the Haileybury College product back to his home state. At the head of the queue was St Kilda, which harboured strong hopes of a two-pronged forward line featuring King and his twin brother Max. But King has enjoyed his time at the Suns and has established a close bond with fellow gun youngsters Matt Rowell, Noah Anderson, Izak Rankine and Jack Lukosius, among others. They seem resolved to be the group to lift the perennial stragglers into the finals for the first time, although King BEN KING

invested in this group and have been for a long period of time, so I hope that the lessons and the relationships that we shared result in a really positive outcome and, selfishly, that’s what I want for them. However, I will be able to sit and observe and comment on their games without fear or favour and that’s my role and my responsibility in 2022. What can we expect from Nathan Buckley the analyst on SEN this year? u I plan to agitate a bit about how we as a sports media communicate the business of footy and the competition that we’re covering. The way we operate has been to distill all this information down to a headline for social purposes, clickbait and snack-size absorption of what’s going on and sometimes I think we lose the real story and the nuance of what we’re seeing when we do that. Perhaps in some way I’ll bring less judgment and more perspective to what’s happening. That’s my purpose and my intent. Nathan Buckley will appear with Garry Lyon every Monday between 6-9am and with Gerard Whateley each Tuesday from 9-10am on SEN 1116.

will be watching from the sidelines this year after rupturing his ACL in an intra-club game last month. It was a major blow for the Suns, but nevertheless, they looked good in their two pre-season games and King’s decision to stay is further cause for optimism ahead of a crucial season in which there needs to be demonstrable improvement.

CRICKET LEGEND WHO DREAMED OF BEING A FOOTBALLER

SAINT AT HEART: Shane Warne with St Kilda champion Nick Riewoldt before a legends match in 2012 and showing off his footy skills (inset).

ASHLEY BROWNE

f not by the start of the 2022 AFL season, then soon afterwards, football fans will be watching games from the newly-christened S.K. Warne Stand at the MCG. Following the Victorian and Australian cricketing icon’s sudden death in Thailand on March 4, the Victorian Government moved swiftly to announce that the Great Southern Stand – existing and future – would be named in his honour. Looking at Warne through another lens, he might be the first one-game League reserves footballer to be celebrated in such a fashion. Fate chose cricket for Warne, but he was a football tragic, a Hawthorn-worshipping kid from Melbourne’s bayside suburbs, whose allegiance changed firmly and fiercely to St Kilda from the moment he played his first under-19s game for the club in 1987. “All I ever wanted to do was to play football. I loved it. That was my dream,” he told the AFL Record in a 2020 interview. “I was pretty quick over a short distance, a good lead, good pair of hands and a pretty safe and accurate kick. That was my game. “But as I came up through the system and trained with the seniors for three months, they were so much quicker and taller. I was 183cm, not quite tall enough to u FOOTY FUNNIES – Bob Dikkenberg

play a key position and not fast enough to play half-forward.” He played one underwhelming reserves game for the Saints in 1988 – he was ill all week but didn’t want to blow his one chance to impress the club – and was let go at the end of the season. Cricket then grabbed his attention and an incredible career was soon underway. But his affection for footy remained undiminished. He attended St Kilda games regularly when he was home during the winter and was close friends with the late, great fellow bayside suburbs icon Trevor Barker from the time he first played for the club. Among his best mates were former Saints players Aaron Hamill

and Steven Baker, as well as club president Andrew Bassat. When it came to St Kilda, be it chatting to the players, sponsorship or networking, nothing was too much trouble. Active on social media, Warne often used his Twitter feed to comment on the game he loved. And like any rusted-on supporter, he wasn’t always complimentary, especially when it came to rule changes and the look and feel of the game. “Footy loved ‘Warnie’ because the peerless cricketer loved footy and he was a dedicated fan the same as every diehard fan,” AFL chief executive – and fellow Saints fan – Gillon McLachlan said. “He only saw the Saints, he raved about the players he loved, he cherished the wins, he bemoaned the losses and he rode the winter rollercoaster we ride every year.”

COODABEENS ON THE MOVE CAROLINE SHEAHAN

ooty radio stalwarts the Coodabeen Champions have moved from one end of the dial to the other for the 2022 season. After running out in the No. 774 guernsey for the past 19 years, the Coodabeens have donned 1377 at their new home 3MP. They’ve also picked up a swag of other numbers (call signs) as their ever-popular program is relayed to regional Victoria and southern NSW via the ACE Radio network. “It’s the best of both worlds as we can be heard in the big smoke as well as in the country,” Coodabeens anchorman Jeff ‘Richo’ Richardson said this week. The change of stations has been accompanied by a switch in timeslot from Saturday mornings to Friday afternoon from 4-6pm.

“We like the idea of leading into the weekend’s matches, although with all the Thursday night games, we could have gone to air a day earlier,” Richardson said. COVID-19 kept the Coodabeens in the studio for the past two years, but they are looking forward to taking the show on the road with outside broadcasts planned for the MCG and country football venues. “Billy Baxter is already working on ways he can sneak in without paying,” Richardson said. “A bigger problem will be tearing Andy (Bellairs) away from the MCC Reserve watching the Dees now they’ve won a premiership.” Stan the Statistician, a regular caller to Torch’s Talkback, points out that 3MP is the fourth radio home for the Coodabeens after

starting at community station 3RRR-FM way back in 1981. “Dale Kickett has got them covered with five clubs – Fitzroy, West Coast, St Kilda, Essendon and Fremantle,” Stan said from his study on Stradbroke Island. “They’ve joined the likes of Martin Pike, Phil Carman and Geoff Raines who turned out with four clubs.” Industry sources say questions on the topic have been written already for Covey’s Quiz, but the man behind the segment played down the suggestion. “It’s a very good idea,” Ian Cover said, “but we’re unlikely to change the habits of 41 years and actually do some preparation.” However, football’s wandering minstrel Greg Champion is known to put in some hard yards the day before each program, sifting through listeners’ contributions and polishing up songs for the show. “I’ve performed about 3500 songs over the years and I reckon I’ve got a few hundred left in me,” ‘Champs’ said. The former Adelaide boy moved back to South Australia last year, but I can reveal exclusively that he has returned to Victoria for the 2022 season. The Coodabeens can be heard on 1377 3MP and the ACE Radio network (check local guides) on Fridays from 4-6pm or by downloading the 3MP app. The podcast is available on the app. Caroline Sheahan is the award-winning chief football writer for Outside Football.

The Magic Cup As Melbourne prepares to unfurl its 2021 flag this round, the symbol of success – the premiership cup – has travelled far and wide. Senior writer ASHLEY BROWNE spoke to Demon stars Bayley Fristch, Angus Brayshaw, Christian Petracca and Jack Viney and assistant coach and former club champion Adem Yze about their experiences with the cup.

t Melbourne, they call it ‘The Magic Cup’. It has made 16 formal public appearances and hundreds more home visits where it has been kissed and caressed countless times. And being 2021, it has been a hit on Facebook and Instagram. It has brought out the laughter and the tears, and if you weren’t moved by icons such as Ron Barassi and Neale Daniher gazing their eyes and laying their hands on the most prized piece of silverware in Australian sport, then you have a heart of flint. The Demons made a great deal out of their desire to win the premiership at Perth’s Optus Stadium last September and to make it as meaningful as possible for their hundreds of thousands of supporters on the other side of the country who couldn’t be there. “It wasn’t something we had to push,” Melbourne chief executive Gary Pert told the AFL Record. “They embraced it and that was an important starting point.” Within hours of the crushing win over the Western Bulldogs that ended 57 years of disappointment and heartbreak, thoughts turned to how the premiership cup could be shared with all those whose hearts beat true for the red and the blue. “What we said was, you can’t talk to the supporters about how we’re all in

this together, win the premiership and then just keep the cup around the club,” Pert said. “There was a real commitment to share it with everyone, not just players and coaches. We are in this together and it takes a whole club to win a premiership.” After the cup returned to Victoria, it began to do the rounds. The club set up an internal mechanism where it could be signed out by whoever wanted it and they kept it for 24 hours before being returned to the club or personally handed to the next person on the list. Pert recalled that when he was Collingwood chief executive in 2010, the premiership cup was shared around with security detail at every step. But not at the Demons. Generations of Melbourne people had waited for this opportunity to cradle the cup and paid muscle wasn’t needed. It was treated with the utmost care and the love was shared fairly and equally. “I was very aware that the lifelong memory of the premiership (for fans) was supposed to be to sit at the MCG and see us win the game,” Pert said. “But because that didn’t happen, what would become the lifelong memory? “For a lot of people that would be the photo with the kids and the grandkids. It might be the best photo of their lives

and that’s the material thing they will remember from the premiership. “The cup has gone to thousands of people and there wouldn’t be one person who didn’t say this was one of the great moments in their life.” The premiership cup has also brought Melbourne people back to the fold. Lapsed members from more than 10 years ago are signing up once more. Membership sales are 10,000 ahead of comparable pre-COVID seasons in the past. “The kids are coming back,” Pert said. “In the last 25-30 years, we lost a lot of our kids. “They went and supported teams like Hawthorn and Richmond because they were getting teased at Auskick. They’re coming back now and they will support the club for the next 40 years. “It’s a rebuilding of the club and it’s growing the club back to the size that it should be.” The players and coaches have turned the page and it’s now all about 2022 and the prospect of winning another flag, this time at the MCG with their adoring fans in attendance. But the 2021 cup won’t be consigned to a dusty cabinet at the MCG any time soon. As Pert said, “This cup will be on tour until, well, people don’t want to see it anymore.” SEN.com.au AFL RECORD 11

BAYLEY FRITSCH THE OLD CLUB

u I picked up the cup from Benny

Brown late one Saturday night. I was supposed to have it for the Sunday, but I wanted to have a few drinks with it. I picked it up with my girlfriend Natalie and went to a mate’s house because he couldn’t get there on the Sunday when it was going to be at my parents’ house. I called in there for 25 minutes, then went to Coldstream, had some photos and had a few drinks, so that was a fair night. Then the next day we took it to my junior club, which had put something out on social media about having a photo taken with the cup. My family have spent a lot of time at Coldstream footy club. My dad played 300 games there and is a bit of a legend. Apart from my family, it was the first place I thought to take it. It was obviously a pretty big thing. Growing up, I’d never been able to see a premiership cup or anything like it, so that and the premiership medal, people were pretty star-struck to see it. Looking back at it now, it was something they’ll remember for the rest of their lives, so to be able to bring that back to my local community was really special.

In the afternoon it was a lot of school mates, a lot of who were Demons fans, and there were quite a few tears. It was awesome. I was the first person to drink out of the cup the night of the Grand Final, but it was in a lot better condition that night. It had seen a few beers by the time it got to my place. You figure out pretty quickly that it’s about more than the players and coaches. There’s partners and families as well, but 57 years was a hell of a long time for people to wait. They’d been on a journey with lots more downs than ups, but they stuck fat, so to see the cup and to hold it just reminded me of how lucky we were to bring so much happiness to people. I feel privileged and lucky to have given people some of the best memories of their lives.

u I took the cup out to Beverley Hills

footy club for their family day, which was great. It was where I played my junior footy and where I aspired to one day play in a premiership side. It was so awesome to see the kids there have an experience with the premiership cup. We really wanted to highlight and emphasise why Melbourne is such a great club and has such a rich history and culture that dates back to 1858. We’re the oldest footy club in Australia and, since 1964, these fans had been starved of success and it’s been a rollercoaster ride for the supporters. For them not to be there during the finals at a time when they thought we might win it was heartbreaking, which is why we tried to highlight that we did this for the fans. It wasn’t fake love; it was legit. We really missed their presence. There were no team rules about what to do with the cup. One of my mates tried to get his dog to drink out of it, which was bizarre, but while it smelt a bit by the time I got it, from all accounts the boys were well behaved and looked after the cup when they had it.

I had the opportunity to take it to De La Salle College where my son Noah goes to school and he showed it around and was the king of the playground for a day. I then took it around to (former teammate) Guy Rigoni’s place. Because of COVID restrictions, I had arranged to be out the front at a certain time so that people could come past and take some photos. Meanwhile, there was a woman out there on her daily walk wearing a Melbourne hat and T-shirt. She was a 50-year member and she asked for a photo. Her usual walk was down a different street, but on that day GUY she happened to take a different RIGONI route and she ended up with the memory of a lifetime.

She went back to ‘Riggers’ house a couple of weeks later and dropped in a note of thanks and box of chocolates! I’ve said a few times that winning a premiership as an assistant coach at Hawthorn was as good as it gets, but the feeling of winning one with the team you played for and to share it with your former teammates and the joy it brought to them just added to the excitement. @hashbrowne

SCORE INVOLVEMENTS

in last year’s Grand Final, no one attacked the footy harder than Christian Petracca. The 26-year-old became Melbourne’s first Norm Smith medallist in the Demons’ drought-breaking triumph over the Western Bulldogs, dominating through the middle and up forward. Petracca kicked the first goal of the game off just one step from 50m in an ominous sign before going to another level late in the third quarter to not only get the Demons back into the game, but well in front. He finished with 39 disposals and his tally of 24 contested possessions was nine more than the next best – Bulldog Tom Liberatore. Unlike many of his teammates, Petracca didn’t drop off in the second term as the Dogs hit back. He recorded at least eight disposals and five contested possessions in every term in a truly dominant performance. Three goals down in the third quarter, it was in the middle where the Demons turned it around. Luke Jackson took the ruck duties and Clayton Oliver, Jack Viney and Petracca all went to work in the centre clearances. Melbourne kicked seven goals in the back half of the third term, including one each to Oliver and Petracca, and the game was all but gone for the Dogs soon after. Petracca was a comfortable winner of the Norm Smith Medal, polling the maximum 15 votes to finish five clear of runner-up Bayley Fritsch.

TOP 50 MOVERS AND SHAPERS

Two potential big decisions in 2022 have influenced this year’s annual Movers and Shapers list. Will AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan step aside and will we see a team playing out of Tasmania? Senior writer ASHLEY BROWNE puts it all on the line.

he top end of the latest edition of the AFL Record’s Movers and Shapers list, the seventh overall, reflects two of the big decisions facing the AFL over the next couple of years. The first is Tasmania, where Premier Peter Gutwein has barged his way into the top 10 with his dogged and determined push to land an AFL team for the state. That Tasmania is a heartland footy state has never been in dispute. The economics of a standalone Tasmanian team have always been debated, but Gutwein

20 AFL RECORD

established a taskforce comprising some of the sharpest football and business minds in the state to logically and rationally establish the case for the 19th team. Former Geelong president and AFL Commissioner Colin Carter then tested the numbers and the assumptions and could find little to dispute them. That, and some brinkmanship from Gutwein, means a Tasmanian team is a more realistic proposition than ever, which would be a brilliant outcome for the game. AFL chief executive officer Gillon McLachlan heads the list as he

always has. But that leads to the other big decision of who might someday take his place. This edition of Movers and Shapers identifies several contenders, be it later this year as some observers suspect, or not for some time as others argue and many hope will be the case. When asked about his future, McLachlan consistently plays the straightest of bats. But what has been established is that there is a capable field assembling for when that day does come.

GILLON McLACHLAN

AFL CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

LAST YEAR: 1 u It was another year of major disruption and, at times, dislocation for the AFL and the game in general, yet it again worked its way through these challenges with only a few scratches and bruises to show for it. And that was thanks to the calm and measured leadership of McLachlan, who is into his eighth year in charge at AFL House. Save for crowds, the vital signs were positive for the AFL – TV ratings, membership and participation numbers trended in the right direction. McLachlan continued to manage the game deftly, empowering those around him while getting his hands dirty when and if required. He struck a great outcome for the game in moving the Grand Final to Western Australia when the MCG was again unavailable and Optus Stadium delivered an outstanding spectacle. Getting the AFL through what is hoped will be a more normal season is the big goal for 2022. The League’s vaccine mandate has been almost universally accepted and rules will be in place so that the competition can continue through any raging COVID outbreaks. The clubs have been put on notice that it is up to them to keep the season going in 2022, hence top-up player requirements. A new CBA is being negotiated for the men’s and women’s competitions and the decision on a standalone team in Tasmania is on the agenda for this year. And that might be it. McLachlan hopes this is the year he can again focus on medium and long-term planning rather than the day-to-day, week-to-week focus that COVID dictated, but still, it would come as no surprise if this year’s Grand Final, back at the MCG, is his last.

ANDREW DILLON

AFL EXECUTIVE GENERAL MANAGER FOOTBALL OPERATIONS/GENERAL COUNSEL

LAST YEAR: 7 u Perhaps the most invaluable

person at the AFL, part advisor to Gillon McLachlan but also in charge of all matters legal and integrity and, given the rapidly changing

environment due to COVID, there was an enormous amount to be done. The regulatory aspect of the game has never been more complicated or demanding. The introduction of a vaccine policy, both at AFL and pathway level, has been critical to the ongoing viability of the game, while Dillon also had to deal with investigations into Taylor Walker’s racist comments and the Hawthorn boxing session that left Mitch Lewis badly concussed. The League also introduced new guidelines around concussion. Dillon’s importance to the AFL was underlined last year when he was given executive oversight for football operations as part of a restructure following Steve Hocking’s departure, although Brad Scott and Laura Kane will largely be running the football department. The intrigue over Dillon is whether he would have any interest in chasing the CEO role if and when McLachlan retires. Long-held views that he is comfortable as the unofficial No. 2 are being challenged by others who believe he is warming to the idea of putting his name forward. SEN.com.au AFL RECORD 21

TRAVIS AULD

AFL EXECUTIVE GENERAL MANAGER FINANCE, CLUBS AND BROADCASTING

LAST YEAR: 3 S It was arguably a more difficult operating environment for the AFL in 2021, with only four rounds of the season not affected by border closures or lockouts. Some teams found out mid-flight that games were being postponed and relocated. Venues and broadcasters worked overtime to accommodate the changes. Yet despite all that, Auld is coming off a pretty good year. The AFL lost $43m, but given the operating difficulties caused by COVID for the second straight year, it was a decent enough result. The 18 clubs appeared to have come through the pandemic bloodied but unbowed and the broadcasting numbers were off the charts. Auld is now one of the leading executives at the AFL, with major projects such as the Marvel Stadium redevelopment now coming under his remit as well. He hasn’t done much wrong and is entrenched at the AFL for as long as he chooses. Expect his name to be at the forefront of discussions when it is time to choose McLachlan’s successor.

22 AFL RECORD

PAUL MARSH

AFLPA CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

RICHARD GOYDER

AFL COMMISSION CHAIRMAN

LAST YEAR: 4 S Only a few months after the leading West

Australian business leader presided proudly over a Grand Final in his home state at the gleaming Optus Stadium, Goyder upped and left the state. Saying he understood, while not in agreement with WA Premier Mark McGowan’s extension of the border closures, Goyder joined a number of the state’s business leaders in temporarily relocating to the eastern states – in his case he shifted to Melbourne. The move won’t necessarily make Goyder more hands on when it comes to the affairs of the AFL – he and McLachlan speak all the time – but he will be seen more often and that will be welcomed by those at AFL House. Goyder plays a quiet, but firm role in steering the AFL’s agenda. “He never owns the room,” says one associate. And while he is across everything that the League does, he gets the importance of the game for supporters and understands how vital it is that the game is supported at the grassroots level.

LAST YEAR: 2 S It’s been all about the pandemic for Marsh,

who has logged nearly eight years at the helm of the players association, having cut his teeth in a similar role with the Australian Cricketers Association before then. Importantly for the players and the game, Marsh has largely been a partner of the AFL rather than an obstacle. In 2020, he and McLachlan ignored the early noise and hammered out a revised pay deal to accommodate the shortened and disrupted season and then the arrangements around the hubs. Last year, the League and the players worked harmoniously through another season that threw up complications, although there was disagreement about five-day breaks. The League and clubs wanted flexibility when the fixture became a week-by-week process for the AFL, while Marsh held firm there be no more than one five-day break per club for the year. Player health and safety will remain at the forefront this year, with an emphasis on financial protections for players as they go through their vaccination journeys. Next up is a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, with a particular emphasis on new terms and conditions for AFLW, where the growing pains have been extreme. It is likely the last time McLachlan and Marsh will meet across the negotiating table. Will the goodwill of the past few years continue?

LEWIS MARTIN

CHANNEL SEVEN DIRECTOR OF SPORT AND MELBOURNE MANAGING DIRECTOR

LAST YEAR: 25 u The influence of the Seven Network across

the AFL is profound. Since the early 1960s, it has been the game’s leading broadcaster for all but six years. When the people at Seven say footy is part of their DNA, they mean it. Board chairman Kerry Stokes and son Ryan are avowed footy nuts. Managing director James Warburton pays the cheque and, come rights negotiation time, they become a significant trio when it comes to the business of football. But the serious negotiations for the next TV deal are at least 12 months away. On an operational level, Martin, whose office at Seven’s Docklands headquarters is just a couple of drop punts from the AFL, wields plenty of influence, with a large say in fixturing and scheduling. A Wednesday night Grand Final rematch to start the season? Not without Seven agreeing to a one-off disruption to its usual prime-time schedule. Seven also works in lockstep with the AFL when it comes to key in-season games such as Anzac Day, Big Freeze and Dreamtime at the ’G, as well as the Brownlow Medal. “The AFL leans on him heavily,” said one TV industry figure. Seven protects its investment in the game with strong TV news coverage, with news breakers Tom Browne and Mitch Cleary going head-to-head on the nightly news bulletins.

PATRICK DANGERFIELD

GEELONG CHAMPION, AFLPA PRESIDENT

LAST YEAR: 24 u The superstar finished 2021 with a hand injury that required off-season surgery and saddles up for his 15th season still seeking that elusive premiership. There is a now-or-never feel to the Cats who at some stage are going to have to flick the switch and get younger. Wearing his AFLPA hat, Dangerfield set a firm direction for Paul Marsh and his team to steer the players through another complex, COVID-affected season, although it is understood Dangerfield also has a clear line to McLachlan and that they speak regularly and candidly across a wide range of issues. Negotiations for the next Collective Bargaining Agreement are well underway, with the look and shape of list sizes set to be a key sticking point. With his radio fishing show, various other media commitments and commercial ventures, Dangerfield’s diary is always full. But the chase for a flag is what will drive him and define him in 2022.

BRENDON GALE

RICHMOND CHIEF EXECUTIVE

LAST YEAR: 14 [ Missing the finals last year didn’t sit well at Tigerland after three flags in the four seasons before that, but the club used the time wisely to rest, recuperate and plan. The approach at Richmond has always been one of collaboration and, while some chief executives stay out of the way when it comes to football, Gale has been at the forefront of the ‘refresh and reset’ mentality. Some believe there is lingering tension between the Tigers and the AFL after a few episodes during the hub-dominated 2020 season. Perhaps this might play out when McLachlan steps down as chief executive of the AFL and Gale, as will surely be the case, will be asked to consider throwing his hat into the ring. He enters 2022 armed with a new three-year deal at the helm of the club he helped reawaken and turn into a powerhouse, but that is not believed to be an impediment for him pursuing the top job at the AFL. Gale shapes as the lead candidate from outside the AFL and it will be fascinating to see whether he works to increase his profile and visibility this year.

MARTIN PAKULA

VICTORIAN SPORTS AND MAJOR EVENTS MINISTER

LAST YEAR: 9 W Doubtless, Victorian Premier Daniel

Andrews has McLachlan on speed dial, but such is the close relationship between Pakula and the AFL boss that he is happy for his sports minister to manage one of the most important partnerships in the state. AFL people say they couldn’t have wished for a better sports minister at this particular time than Pakula, a passionate football fan and Carlton tragic. It was with a heavy heart that Pakula signed away the 2020 and 2021 Grand Finals because of COVID, adding two years to the MCG contract at the other end, and it was Pakula who helped drive the infrastructure expenditure that will lead to better grassroots facilities, especially for girls and women’s football. The League and the government are also partners in the $250m redevelopment of Marvel Stadium, which is underway. But what will be especially good for business is the Grand Final returning home to the MCG this September. Barring the worst type of COVID flare-up, it will happen. SEN.com.au AFL RECORD 23

leverage, and openly embracing rival sports such as basketball, he forced the AFL to make Tasmania an absolute priority. Tasmania’s old line – “We are a great football state so you owe us a team” – will never wash with the 18 AFL clubs, but he is the first leader to argue convincingly that a Tasmanian team isn’t just in the best interests of the state, but also of the entire game. Until now, the AFL has paid lip service to Tasmania’s hopes and aspirations, but the state’s sizeable and passionate football community owe their premier a vote of thanks. All signs point to good news later this year.

MENTAL HEALTH: Former Collingwood champion and coach Nathan Buckley has thrown his support behind a free training program for community coaches.

BUCKS BACKS POWER OF COMMUNITY Fresh out of the cut and thrust of AFL coaching, Nathan Buckley understands the mental health challenges facing players at all levels. BEN GUTHRIE

ommunity coaches who foster an environment where their players feel supported and are comfortable to be themselves have the best chance of achieving success, according to former Collingwood coach and Tackle Your Feelings ambassador Nathan Buckley. Tackle Your Feelings is a free mental health training program for community AFL coaches, as well as committee members and club support staff. The program was formed by the AFL Coaches Association, AFL Players Association and Zurich Insurance in 2018, following the tragic death of Adelaide coach Phil Walsh three years earlier. “You want your players to be the best version of themselves, you want them to achieve their aspirations and dreams and as a coach you want to put a team together that’s going to compete and win on the football field,” Buckley said. “The reality is if you put the development and the care for your players first as a coach, the winning or improved performance from your players becomes the natural by-product.” Tackle Your Feelings is delivered by a local psychologist and aims

32 AFL RECORD

You want your players to be the best versions of themselves NATHAN BUCKLEY

to give coaches the skills to understand, recognise and respond to signs of mental ill-health in their players. Although the primary target audience is coaches, Buckley says the support mechanisms put in place at community clubs should be a shared responsibility. “I did a session with one of the amateur clubs. The coaches were there, the leadership group was there and the club’s committee members were there, and that’s the best way to do it,” Buckley said. “That way the conversations are shared and there’s more people involved, which means you’re more likely to recognise when someone isn’t going as well as they could be from a mental health standpoint.” The program has already been successfully delivered to nearly

5000 coaches across Australia and Buckley has urged more coaches to register so they can upskill themselves in this vital area. “They’re just really simple tools that you can use, and it helps you support the people you are responsible for mentoring,” Buckley said. The program is powered by the Z Zurich Foundation. Visit tackleyourfeelings.org.au to register.

BLUE HEAVEN: Skipper Wayne Johnston and debutant Warren Ralph (inset) starred in Carlton’s record opening round win in 1984.

J. DEJONG, COODANUP, WA MG: Carlton began the 1984 season in dynamic fashion against North Melbourne at Waverley Park, kicking 11.1 in the second quarter on the way to an opening round record of 31.13 (199). The Blues had five debutants, including Tom Alvin and West Australians Wayne Blackwell and Warren Ralph. Wayne Johnston, playing his first game as captain, had 43 disposals and kicked five goals. Ralph kicked 9.4 for his new team, which won by 137 points. In a Grand Final rematch in 1990, Hawthorn started the season with a 115-point win over Geelong, kicking 28.24 (192), also at Waverley Park. The Hawks kicked 19 goals in the second half, with forward Jason Dunstall booting seven in the last quarter for a match tally of 12.4. Former Essendon star Jack Clarke made an impressive coaching debut for the club in the opening round of the 1968 season. At their home ground, Windy Hill, the Bombers kicked 26.16 (172) against Hawthorn, including 10.7 in the final quarter to win by 73 points. Nineteen-year-old Ian Anderson

SEASON

CAN YOU ASSIST? u The AFL is seeking the date of birth of the following South Melbourne players. Jim Schellnack played at League level in 1904 after being recruited from Brunswick. He died on May 24, 1968, aged 88. Richard James Casey also played for Brunswick before representing South from 1905 until 1912. He passed away due to illness on April 16, 1919, aged only 37. Bill Hennington played his early football with Leopold, a local club linked to the Swans, before representing South in 1914. Born in either late 1879 or before May, 1880, he died on July 11, 1964.

of books written about the history of Australian Football. Some ponderous, others that can be consumed quickly. At 700 pages, Australia’s Game – The History of Australian Football, looks weighty, but is a snackable tour through the history of the sport from 1858 and even earlier when various forms of ‘foot-ing’ and ‘foot-ball’ existed throughout the fledgling city of Melbourne, right through to the monumental creation of AFLW. The authors pay as much heed to the on-field evolution of the code as to the off-field forces that shaped it. The game’s finances, stadia, the media and other socio-economic influences are also examined closely. And, while the code’s origins lie firmly in Victoria, the way it took hold across the rest of the country is well explained, as are the reasons its development would be stunted for close to a century in northern Australia. Ahead of some critical decisions, such as parity for the women’s game and expansion of the AFL to Tasmania and perhaps the Northern Territory, Australia’s Game provides a valuable reference if only to understand how the game dealt with similarly big matters in the past. And there have been many of them.

FOCUS ON

AAMI

COMMUNITY SERIES

LEADER OF THE PACK: Jack Macrae produced the highest score in the AAMI Community Series.

u The pre-season games were a chance for AFL Fantasy coaches to make some tweaks to their squads in the lead-up to the real thing. While most of the time it’s all about watching for roles and fitness, the numbers can help tell a story of what we might expect in the season proper and could help you make a line-ball call on a player. Midfielders were outstanding. Jack Macrae (143) and Touk Miller (134) showed why they have big price tags, while Patrick Cripps (141) and Stephen Coniglio (120) appeared to be back to their best and offer plenty of value this year. Value hunting is what it is all about watching the AAMI Community Series and these

value picks form the backbone of your team. Nick Daicos (99) and Jason Horne-Francis (78) justified being the two most selected players in Fantasy Classic. They should be profitable cash cows, as will Josh Ward (91) and Josh Rachele (90) when they make their debuts. Some other players offering plenty of bang for your buck included Matt Rowell (101), Jye Caldwell (98), Will Brodie (96), Heath Chapman (90) and Hugo Ralphsmith (86). It could be the year of the mid-priced player – especially in order to manage your salary cap – and plenty demonstrated they were capable of decent Fantasy scores in the practice games.

u What a season it is shaping to be for AFL Fantasy Draft! Thousands of leagues have held their live drafts, with varying results, and the average of all the picks tell a tale of what went down when coaches were on the clock making their selections. More than half the players taken in the first two rounds of drafts were midfielders. Not just because they’re generally the highest-scoring Fantasy players, but because most leagues opt to have ‘captains on’ as one of their league settings. Gaining double points each week from a top performer can set up your team for success each round and locking away someone who consistently scores more than 100 is a priority early on.

WARNE DAWGS

u Keep monitoring the teams over the course of round one. You will want to have 30 ‘green dots’ ... that means every player in your squad is playing! It’s important you have the best cash cows to improve your side.

IN DEMAND: Jack Steele was the most popular pick.

It was purely midfielders and rucks in the top 10 this year as many coaches believe Brodie Grundy and Max Gawn will be the best of the big men by a margin. Sean Darcy was the next ruck taken off the board with an average draft pick (ADP) of 23, followed by Rowan Marshall at 34 and Reilly O’Brien at 39. From there, the ‘punt rucks’ strategy – where you don’t pick a ruck until the late rounds – was employed by many. The most common feedback coming from coaches post-draft was the lack of forwards. Within the top 100 selections, 20 were available as FWDs. There could be some diamonds in the rough outside these picks, but many feel they could have grabbed midfielders and defenders later on to secure the services of the best forwards. Dogs duo Josh Dunkley and Adam Treloar had an ADP of 24 and 30 respectively, but they could prove to be value picks if they can return to their best. Stephen Coniglio at pick 42 may also end up being a steal if his pre-season is anything to go by.

Match Preview

u For the first time since 2009, the Grand Final rematch takes place in the opening round of the season. Melbourne celebrated long and hard – and fair enough too after 57 years – but came back to pre-season in ripping condition, while the Western Bulldogs have had an entire summer to stew over how a three-goal lead well into the third term of the flag decider became a 74-point thrashing. Melbourne will be settled and should be missing only Trent Rivers (knee) and Harrison Petty (calf), but will regain defender Adam Tomlinson, who has made an impressive recovery from an ACL injury. The Bulldogs

WESTERN BULLDOGS may be short-sticked down back, with Alex Keath copping a shin injury in the pre-season, while Tim O’Brien, a free agent acquisition from Hawthorn, is recovering from a hamstring strain. Two outstanding midfields appear evenly matched, but the Bulldogs still have key forward issues. Josh Bruce (ACL) won’t play anytime soon, while Jamarra Ugle-Hagan can’t break into the side. It’s all up to Aaron Naughton and, while he’s very good, the Dogs need other options. The Demons have had the better summer and will get the early psychological edge over their bitter rival with a win here … and earn the right to play Freed From Desire whenever and as often as they like. ASHLEY BROWNE

Away record: 33-51 Home record: 46-39-1 Highest score: 26.13 (169), round 15, 1985, at Whitten Oval. Lowest score: 3.6 (24), round 11, 1963, at Whitten Oval. Greatest winning margin: 120 points, round 15, 1985, at Whitten Oval. Longest winning sequence: 6, round 4, 1997, to round 7, 2001; round 2, 2008, to round 4, 2012. Most goals in a game: 12, Simon Beasley, round 15, 1985, at Whitten Oval.

Prediction: Melbourne by 11 points

CARLTON VS RICHMOND THURSDAY, MARCH 17 | MCG, MELBOURNE

Opener B.indd 54

10/3/22 5:29 pm

Blues v Tigers

ROUND

HEAD to HEAD Played 223: Carlton 125, Richmond 96, draws 2. Since 2017: Carlton 0, Richmond 7. Most recent game: round 1, 2021, Carlton lost to Richmond by 25 points at the MCG. Highest attendance: 119,165, Grand Final, 1969, at the MCG.

CARLTON

Home record: 69-39-2 Away record: 56-57 Highest score: 28.16 (184), round 15, 2011, at the MCG. Lowest score: 3.10 (28), round 9, 1924, at Princes Park. Greatest winning margin: 115 points, round 14, 1984, at Princes Park. Longest winning sequence: 24, round 8, 1908, to round 15, 1917. Most goals in a game: 10, Jim Baird, round 1, 1943, at Princes Park; Robert Walls, round 7, 1976, at Princes Park.

CLOSE ATTENTION: Tiger star Tom Lynch will again have his hands full shrugging off Blues defender Jacob Weitering.

Match Preview

u Richmond’s nine-game winning streak stretching back to 2013 (in 2014 they met in round two) and average winning margin of nearly 23 points confirms that Carlton is the Washington Generals while the Tigers are the Harlem Globetrotters in this traditional season-opening encounter. But this might be the year the Blues finally break through. New coach Michael Voss had them humming in the pre-season and they looked terrific during the dress rehearsal against Melbourne. Star midfielder Sam Walsh (syndesmosis) won’t play, but Patrick Cripps is in ripping touch and recruits George Hewett and Adam Cerra have

RICHMOND

added midfield depth. Voss has also stiffened the much-maligned backline. Richmond looks set to bounce back after last year’s shock absence from the finals, but consensus is that Damien Hardwick will need to have close to his best list available in order to contend. Important trio Kane Lambert, Nick Vlastuin and new co-captain Dylan Grimes are all in doubt for this one. New Tiger key defender Robbie Tarrant will have his hands full with Coleman medallist Harry McKay and Charlie Curnow. Richmond’s old guard always brings something special, but perhaps this year, when it is the next-to-opening game, it is time for a changing of the guard. ASHLEY BROWNE

Away record: 39-69-2 Home record: 57-56 Highest score: 25.24 (174), round 1, 1978, at the MCG. Lowest score: 2.9 (21), round 10, 1958, at Princes Park. Greatest winning margin: 85 points, round 7, 2005, at the MCG. Longest winning sequence: 11, round 2, 2014, to round 1, 2021. Most goals in a game: 10, Sel Murray, round 7, 1945, at Princes Park.

Prediction: Carlton by four points

COLLINGWOOD

Match Preview

u The Saints were one of the more disappointing outfits last season, failing to back up their top-six finish of 2020. They were hobbled by injury for much of the year and they don’t start this campaign in the best of health either, with Jack Billings, Hunter Clark, Nick Coffield, Paddy Ryder, Dan Hannebery and Jarryn Geary all set to miss. Zak Jones has also taken time away from the club. But they do have exciting forward Jade Gresham back and he adds much-needed X-factor. It is a big season for coach Brett Ratten and there needs to be some improvement, especially with now-unemployed

four-time premiership coach Alastair Clarkson, who just happens to live nearby, potentially on the market. Collingwood is just starting out under new coach Craig McRae and he will be afforded all the time needed to bed down a game-plan that over the summer seemed to be more direct and involve more speed on the ball. And the Pies won’t be afraid to kick to contests. Jordan De Goey had a difficult off-season and will be playing for a new and lucrative contract, but the excitement for Pies fans will be the unveiling of father-son sensation Nick Daicos, regarded as a best-22 player for the Pies if he’d been eligible last year. ASHLEY BROWNE

Away record: 61-40-1 Home record: 99-20-1 Highest score: 32.19 (211), round 17, 1980, at Waverley Park. Lowest score: 3.8 (26), round 15, 1907, at the Junction Oval. Greatest winning margin: 178 points, round 4, 1979, at Victoria Park. Longest winning sequence: 18, round 1, 1897, to round 15, 1903. Most goals in a game: 11, Gordon Coventry, round 7, 1927, at Victoria Park; round 17, 1931, at Junction Oval; Ron Todd, preliminary final, 1939, at the MCG; Phil Carman, round 20, 1975, at Moorabbin.

Prediction: St Kilda by nine points

GEELONG CATS VS ESSENDON SATURDAY, MARCH 19 | MCG, MELBOURNE

Opener D.indd 67

10/3/22 5:31 pm

Cats v Bombers

ROUND

HEAD to HEAD Played 220: Geelong Cats 100, Essendon 115, draws 5. Since 2017: Geelong Cats 3, Essendon 2. Most recent game: round 16, 2021, Geelong Cats d Essendon by 41 points at GMHBA Stadium. Highest attendance: 103,649, preliminary final, 1968, at the MCG.

GEELONG CATS

DANGER ZONE: Cats champion Patrick Dangerfield leaves a trio of Bombers in his wake in Geelong’s easy win at GMHBA Stadium last season.

Match Preview

u A big game to kick off the AFL’s Saturday afternoon slate for 2022 and a hard one to pick. There is a familiar look to Geelong’s on-field personnel, but Chris Scott has retooled his coaching staff and has tweaked the game-plan so that the Cats can flick the switch between defence and attack that bit more quickly. There are too many veterans at Geelong to take pre-season form all that seriously, but enough trust that once the ball is bounced against Essendon, they will know what is required. There is an air of expectation about the Bombers, tipped by none other than Mick Malthouse to win the flag.

The midfield oozes class, but whether they have the scoring power remains the big question. Peter Wright’s best is outstanding, but can he produce a 50-goal season? Harrison Jones looks a likely prospect, but is effectively entering his second year. Essendon enjoyed a great season from the enigmatic Jake Stringer and he might be the one to keep the scoreboard ticking over on a regular basis. Given the Bombers have been well beaten by Geelong in their past three encounters, a win here could generate some real momentum and excitement, but the Cats seem the safer bet. ASHLEY BROWNE

Home record: 65-42-1 Away record: 35-73-4 Highest score: 28.13 (181), round 9, 1992, at the MCG. Lowest score: 2.9 (21), round 8, 1910, at East Melbourne Cricket Ground. Greatest winning margin: 116 points, round 17, 1934, at Corio Oval. Longest winning sequence: 6, round 11, 2006, to round 12, 2010; round 17, 2012, to round 20, 2016. Most goals in a game: 14, Gary Ablett snr, round 6, 1993, at the MCG.

ESSENDON

Away record: 42-65-1 Home record: 73-35-4 Highest score: 26.9 (165), round 21, 1983, at GMHBA Stadium. Lowest score: 2.3 (15), round 9, 1902, at East Melbourne Cricket Ground. Greatest winning margin: 97 points, round 2, 1986, at Windy Hill. Longest winning sequence: 10, round 11, 1982, to round 13, 1986. Most goals in a game: 13, John Coleman, round 8, 1952, at Brisbane Exhibition Ground.

Prediction: Geelong by 10 points

GWS GIANTS VS SYDNEY SWANS SATURDAY, MARCH 19 | ACCOR STADIUM, SYDNEY

Opener E.indd 74

10/3/22 5:32 pm

Giants v Swans

ROUND

DESPERATION: Swan Tom McCartin spoils Harry Himmelberg, but the Giants emerged victorious by a point in the thrilling elimination final last season.

HEAD to HEAD Played 22: GWS Giants 9, Sydney Swans 13. Since 2017: GWS Giants 6, Sydney Swans 5. Most recent game: 2nd EF, 2021, GWS Giants d Sydney Swans by 1 point at University of Tasmania Stadium. Highest attendance: 60,222, 1st QF, 2016, at Accor Stadium.

GWS GIANTS

Match Preview

u Footy makes its return to the former Olympic Stadium for the first time since the 2016 elimination final clash between these clubs, a niggly affair won by the upstart Giants. And they’re coming off an epic elimination final last year, a one-point win to GWS in Launceston when the Swans finished all over the tiring Giants but were unable to land the knockout blow. But the game will also be remembered for Toby Greene’s contact with umpire Matt Stevic and he will be missing as the Giants try to navigate the first five weeks of the season without their inspirational co-captain. It

leaves Lance Franklin to take all the attention, and the superstar needs five more goals to reach the magical 1000 career mark. Instead of playing deep, Franklin pushed up the ground in the final last year and Isaac Heeney became the focal point with four goals. They will both need to fire given Tom Papley is missing with a hamstring strain. These two clubs have traded wins and losses the past four times they have met. They know each other intimately and are evenly matched. Perhaps with Greene missing, there is a touch more class favouring the Swans, who were one of the excitement machines of 2021. But it will be tight again. ASHLEY BROWNE

Match Preview

u It’s the bright glare of the Gabba lights on a Saturday night to kick off the 2022 season for these sides. The Lions have been in dominant form against the Power in recent times, winning four in succession over the past three years, with the past three coming at an average of 44.6 points. Assessing the pre-season form of both, it’s the Lions who jump out. Chris Fagan’s side easily accounted for Adelaide in its first practice match before narrowly beating last season’s runners-up the Western Bulldogs in the AAMI Community Series. The Power were less impressive in their two official outings, losing to

PORT ADELAIDE Gold Coast by 21 points, before a 37-point win over the Crows after trailing at half-time. They go into this without power forward Charlie Dixon, who remains sidelined after pre-season ankle surgery, while Orazio Fantasia (knee) will be missing and crafty small Robbie Gray (hamstring awareness) is doubtful. On the personnel front for Brisbane, Eric Hipwood’s absence after an ACL injury last season is still being felt. Keidean Coleman (hamstring) will miss and captain Dayne Zorko was touch and go in the lead-up. The opening round generally provides some headaches in terms of tipping, but the Lions at home appear a safer option. ANDREW SLEVISON

Away record: 6-11-2 Home record: 12-8 Highest score: 25.23 (173), round 19, 2016, at the Gabba. Lowest score: 5.14 (44), round 7, 2021, at the Gabba. Greatest winning margin: 113 points, round 4, 2014, at Adelaide Oval. Longest winning sequence: 5, round 7, 2016, to round 3, 2018. Most goals in a game: 7, Jay Schulz, round 15, 2011, at the Gabba; round 4, 2014, at Adelaide Oval.

Prediction: Brisbane Lions by 15 points

Match Preview

u Hawthorn ushered in a new era at the end of last season with Sam Mitchell replacing Alastair Clarkson as senior coach. Mitchell, who worked under Clarkson as an assistant, succeeded his former mentor one year earlier than initially planned with the club very much in transition. The first-year coach has stamped his authority on the Hawks’ playing group over the summer and will look to get his tenure off to a winning start. Coming off a seven-win season in 2021, Hawthorn will look to get more games into promising youngsters such as Jai Newcombe and Denver Grainger-Barras. North Melbourne finished bottom

with four wins last year – the club’s first wooden spoon since 1972 – in David Noble’s first season in charge. However, the Kangaroos improved as the year went on, showing a willingness to compete for larger portions of games, after losing their first four by an average of 70 points. There is an air of excitement at Arden St following the arrival of No. 1 pick Jason Horne-Francis, adding to the club’s crop of emerging young talent. After the Hawks and Roos won just 11 games between them last year, an early victory would be a significant confidence booster for the rebuilding clubs. Hawthorn’s experience and top-end talent sways it in its favour. ALEX ZAIA

Crows v Dockers

ROUND

HEAD to HEAD Played 41: Adelaide Crows 23, Fremantle 18. Since 2016: Adelaide Crows 2, Fremantle 3. Most recent game: round 5, 2021, Adelaide Crows lost to Fremantle by 12 points at Adelaide Oval. Highest attendance: 46,431, round 6, 2016, at Adelaide Oval.

ADELAIDE CROWS

MAD SCRAMBLE: Fremantle skipper Nat Fyfe battles Ben Keays and Reilly O’Brien for the ball in the Dockers’ hard-fought win over the Crows last season.

Match Preview

u Both Adelaide and Fremantle will be hoping to rise up the ladder in 2022 after finishing 15th and 11th respectively last season, with their opening round clash looming as a key to getting ahead of the ledger. While the Dockers haven’t played finals football since 2015, Justin Longmuir’s outfit has been one of the most hyped of the off-season, with many predicting a top-eight finish for the men in purple this season. If they are truly about to reach that next level, they should take care of a Crows list that’s a few steps behind in its rebuild, even with the game at Adelaide Oval. The key difference between the two sides on

paper is the midfield, with Fremantle’s quintet of Sean Darcy, Nat Fyfe, Andrew Brayshaw, Caleb Serong and David Mundy looking far stronger than Adelaide’s on-ball unit, particularly with Rory Laird breaking his hand in the club’s final pre-season outing against the Power. In saying that, Matthew Nicks had his side playing his team-first, defensive-oriented footy in the back end of 2021 and they won’t be easybeats for any side that travels to Adelaide Oval. Expect the Crows to put up a fight and halve much of the contest, but Fremantle’s class and depth should see it get over the line. LACHLAN GELEIT

Home record: 17-8 Away record: 6-10 Highest score: 25.17 (167), round 2, 1998, at Football Park. Lowest score: 4.10 (34), round 5, 2020, at Metricon Stadium.

Opener I.indd 95

3/10/22 5:14 PM

Eagles v Suns

ROUND

FEELING THE HEAT: Suns star Touk Miller is tackled by Jamie Cripps in West Coast’s comfortable win last season.

HEAD to HEAD Played 13: West Coast Eagles 10, Gold Coast Suns 2, draws 1. Since 2017: West Coast Eagles 3, Gold Coast Suns 2. Most recent game: round 1, 2021, West Coast Eagles d Gold Coast Suns by 25 points at Optus Stadium. Highest attendance: 51,774, round 4, 2018, at Optus Stadium.

GOLD COAST SUNS

Match Preview

u What originally looked like an easy win for West Coast at home has been flipped on its head due to numerous injuries to key Eagles and a strong preseason from the Suns. West Coast looked dismal in its pre-season losses to Fremantle, while Gold Coast could hardly have been more impressive against Port Adelaide and Geelong. Adam Simpson will be missing more than half a dozen of his best players when the Eagles stride on to Optus Stadium, but that’s not to say the Suns are fully fit either. Ben King was a huge loss in the pre-season with an ACL injury and it suddenly became difficult to see where

96 AFL RECORD

GamePreview I.indd 96

the goals were going to come from. But 14 Suns had shots at goal during their practice match win over Geelong, including Jack Lukosius who looked strong when swung forward. Meanwhile, West Coast improved the second time around against the Dockers, but kicking just 66 points isn’t going to cut it against most AFL sides, and it’s difficult to see it kicking significantly bigger scores with so many players missing. Gold Coast usually starts the season well and will have more options up forward and through the middle. However, there’s always the possibility of a Simpson coaching master class. SEB MOTTRAM

Away record: 0-9 Home record: 2-1-1 Highest score: 17.11 (113), round 19, 2013, at Subiaco Oval. Lowest score: 5.10 (40), round 14, 2012, at Subiaco Oval.

What I’m thinking with Ashley Browne

Blooming hell, Buddy about to burst A rare goalkicking milestone beckons for one of the AFL’s all-time greats.

eason 2022 is underway and so is ‘Buddy Watch’. Lance Franklin needs just five goals to become only the sixth player in League history to kick 1000 in his career. Only Tony Lockett (1360), Gordon Coventry (1299), Jason Dunstall (1254), Doug Wade (1057) and Gary Ablett snr (1031) have kicked more than Franklin. Buddy Watch starts late Saturday afternoon at Accor Stadium in a shrewd piece of fixturing by the AFL as the Swans ‘visit’ the GWS Giants. It is the first game at what footy fans remember variously as Stadium Australia, Telstra Stadium and ANZ Stadium since the fiery Swans-Giants elimination final in 2016. Franklin was supposed to be a Giant. All through 2013, when it became increasingly clear he would not be continuing with Hawthorn, the expectation was that Franklin would be the boom recruit for the AFL’s fledgling outfit the following season. The AFL hoped so. The Giants certainly thought so. It was GWS which broke the news that he would be signing with Sydney in a media release announcing its pursuit of Franklin

was over, and it contained more than a touch of anger. The Giants felt they had been played by Franklin and his management and, indirectly, by the Swans. Somewhere on a hard drive at Giants HQ can be found all the Franklin-focused marketing material the club was ready to unleash the moment the club won his signature. There was plenty of it. So for the push for those elusive five goals to resume in a Sydney derby is a grand idea. It’s a Giants’ home game, but as is usually the case whenever and wherever the Swans and Giants meet, the crowd will be predominantly clad in red and white. Will they leave disappointed? Franklin’s career goals average is 3.13 a game and in 2021 that dipped to 2.83. Nevertheless, he kicked five or more on three occasions last season and one of those came against Giants. He also kicked four against GWS in the return game and three in the elimination final. It is not out of the question the milestone will come this weekend, but the stronger likelihood is that it will happen next Friday

BUDDY WATCH: All eyes will be on Lance Franklin in round one as the champion Swan and former Hawk (below, after kicking his 100th goal for the season in 2008) chases the five goals he needs to crack the 1000 mark.

night when Sydney hosts Geelong at the SCG. The Cats are an interesting choice of opponent, but the AFL could have done better. Surely Hawthorn, his former club, would have been more appropriate and, failing that, Essendon, the team he has tormented more than any other. Hawk fans, whose relationship with Franklin these days could best be described as “complicated”, will probably enjoy the hapless Cats looking on amid all the hoopla once Franklin kicks his 1000th. And if for some reason he starts the year quietly, another primetime opportunity awaits him in round three – a Thursday night clash with the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium. No arguments here, with the AFL wanting to maximise the chances that he reaches the milestone in front of the largest audience possible. But surely the MCG, where his 3.21 goal average is the highest of any venue he has played at on at least 10 occasions, would have made for a grander stage. Whatever the case, until Franklin kicks his 1000th goal, Sydney games will be mandatory viewing. The guy is a freak, the third-oldest player in the competition and the only active player from the 2004 National Draft. Jack Riewoldt (715), Josh Kennedy (686) and Tom Hawkins (665) have perhaps a year or two remaining, so they won’t get there. Jeremy Cameron (466) might catch them, but will need several injury-free seasons. As Alastair Clarkson recently noted, football is being increasingly skewed towards defenders. Getting a kick as a key forward is as hard as it has ever been. When Coleman medallists are kicking between 58 and 80 goals a season, not only is there little danger of any player cracking the ton – Franklin was the last to do so in 2008 while still a Hawk – if there is another 1000-goal AFL player, chances are he or she hasn’t been born yet. Which makes what Franklin is about to achieve all the more special. Clear your schedule and take the trouble to watch it because, in all likelihood, you will never see it happen again.
