Before The Footy - (15/08/2026)

Welcome back to Before the Footy on 91.3 Sport FM.

Matt Grubelich and John Townsend here with you.

A big thanks to Bill Monaghan who joined us for the first hour and a half of the show.

Apologies to all of the listeners.

I know there were plenty of messages coming through.

We just ran out of time to get to any of them with Bill because he's off to watch the last bit of the Colts this morning.

So apologies.

Hopefully people will

wait.

Interested in the, you know, there's six waffle premierships between them as two coaches, Gerard Neesham and Bill Honan, and you never know, might be another one or two with Bill.

Well, you never know.

But, yeah, what a great start to the show it was.

Well done to Gerard Neesham as well.

Big thanks to him for joining us a little bit earlier on.

Plenty of messages that have come through.

Floyd in High Wycombe says, the Sharks need to go around with the old blanket like they used to in the old Waffle Days.

Yeah, I don't think they need 20-cent coins.

They need a couple of $100,000

sponsors.

Rod, just clarifying, Bill said that they missed out in 2022 by a couple of games, but they actually came third.

Bill was actually referring to the game in 21.

It was against Subiaco, just for clarification.

Morning, gents.

How many players do you think Freo will rest next week and who? And what are your thoughts on AFL saying the teams shouldn't rest players? From Eugene.
