Footy is back and boy are we excited!We finally got our first look at Jagga Smith, and we weren't disappointed. Smith showed class, calmness with the ball, with inside game and scoreboard impact as well. He is everything that the Blues have been lacking and 'he has set the standard high. Sydney & GWS played in heavy rain conditions, while Melbourne & Richmond's game was abandoned due to lightning. The Western Bulldogs came out the box firing and never looked losing against the Hawks and kicked a big score even without Sam Darcy. Will Jai Newcombe be the first to fall victim to the Dump tackle suspensions? The Ball is the AFL's Court to set the standard that they want to abide in 2026.

Luke Darcy is a Western Bulldogs star in his own right and a former high profile media star to boot. These days though, it is being dad to the AFL's hottest property - Sam Darcy - that is shaping his media appearances. But wait, there's more. Sam's eighteen year old brother Will has been drafted to the red, white and blue as well. Food Bytes dragged Luke away from his parental duties to chat about his life, his dubious kitchen skills, the food that is his kyrptonite and a media career that crossed paths with Sarah's in the early hours of weekday mornings on Triple M's Hot Breakfast with Eddie McGuire, where even the coffee was special.

Matthew and Nicholas wrap up all the latest news surrounding the Western Bulldogs.

Fresh from pre-season camp in Australia, Richard Graves sits down with Stan Parker, Sports Scientist at the Western Bulldogs, to explore how tracking data, contextual analytics, and interdisciplinary collaboration shape performance in elite AFL. Stan's journey spans the Brisbane Broncos in the NRL, Queensland Rugby Sevens, and now five seasons embedded within the Bulldogs' high-performance programme, including a PhD focused on contextualising tracking data beyond simple load metrics. This episode moves beyond “distance covered” and “top speed” to examine how sports science actually influences coaching decisions, athlete development, injury management, and tactical execution. From peak demand analysis and real-world decision-making under fatigue, to AI readiness and workflow efficiency, this is a grounded, practitioner-led conversation about where elite sport is really heading. In this episode you will learn: Why contextualising tracking data matters more than collecting more of it How to compare peak training demands to peak match demands The role of vision and video in translating data for coaches and players How to build buy-in when athletes aren't “numbers learners” The balance between availability and performance in weekly competition cycles How interdisciplinary decision-making works inside an AFL club Why isolated fatigue “flags” can be misleading How gym-based physical development can be directly tied to on-field outcomes The importance of soft skills in high-performance environments Where AI realistically fits (and doesn't fit) in elite sports science About Stan Parker Stan Parker is a Sports Scientist with the Western Bulldogs in the AFL. He has previously worked with the Brisbane Broncos and Queensland Rugby Sevens, building experience across multiple elite sporting codes in Australia. Stan is also completing a PhD focused on the contextualisation of tracking data in team sports, exploring how movement patterns and peak demands can better explain performance impact rather than serving purely as load monitoring tools. He is particularly interested in bridging the gap between data analytics, coaching vision, and real-world performance application.

Tom Boyd is a former AFL premiership player and Head of Performance at Everperform. His career took him from a suburban upbringing in Melbourne to the very top of professional football at a remarkably young age. In this episode, Tom reflects on his AFL career and the mental health and injury challenges that caused him to retire early. You’ll hear Tom talks through his time at the GWS Giants and the highly scrutinised move to the Western Bulldogs. The conversation also explores Tom’s mental health journey, including the challenges that followed premiership success, his decision to retire at just 23, and how that choice reshaped his sense of purpose.

Izak Rankine's suspension gets handed down, and the team chat through the fallout, the delay in the decision, and what the AFL and Adelaide overlooked in the process. Bernie Vince phones in from Adelaide for a Crow's perspective, and K-Mac brings back the Queen's Queries - including an alarming story about Hev's Cat. Isaac puts injury management up for his Premiership Piece - then the team quickly talk about the Western Bulldogs and Fremantle clash, and why Gold Coast should be extremely wary of Port Adelaide this weekend. Triple M Footy's Thursday Rub is Jack Heverin, Isaac Smith, Kate McCarthy, and Jay Z Clark.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
