Isaac Heeney is making a huge case for being the best player in the competition, but where does he actually rank? The Bob Skilton Medal race is heating up, we suggest who may be leading as we near the half-way point of the year. Meanwhile, we reflect on arguably our best performance of 2026 while missing six players who feature prominently in the team's top 22, and touch on a new-look AFLW team looking to thrive under new senior coach, Colin O'Riordan.

Andre, what did you make of the weekend? That was a nice result.

A

Andre CupidoHost

0:24

Great result, Chaddy.

A

Andre CupidoHost

0:25

Yeah, it's good to come in on, on a Monday, I think, after a win like that.

A

Andre CupidoHost

0:29

Um, and just to see the players respond after a disappointing performance against Geelong.

A

Andre CupidoHost

0:34

Um, fair to say review might have been maybe a little bit pointed or-

Tom ChadwickHost

0:39

Yeah

A

Andre CupidoHost

0:39

... not that I was sitting in review myself, but I think it was just nice to see, um, was it 170 points? Is that what it was?

Tom ChadwickHost

0:46

That's what we kicked, yes.

A

Andre CupidoHost

0:46

Gee whiz.

A

Andre CupidoHost

0:47

Yeah, okay.

A

Andre CupidoHost

0:47

So, um, great performance, and I think everyone's got a bit of a spring in their step for a Monday.

Tom ChadwickHost

0:52

Wh- when you were watching the game, when did you think, "Oh, I think we're in control of this"?

A

Andre CupidoHost

0:56

Good question.

0:59

'Cause they started pretty well.

A

Andre CupidoHost

1:00

They did.

A

Andre CupidoHost

1:02

The thing that was disappointing in the first quarter was every time we kicked a goal, Richmond, to their credit, they would respond with a goal of their own.

A

Andre CupidoHost

1:09

So that's, I think from a Richmond perspec- perspective, young team, you know, trying to bring a bit of fight to a team that's absolutely in form.

A

Andre CupidoHost

1:17

Um, I think in the start of the second half, I think-

Tom ChadwickHost

1:21

Yeah

A

Andre CupidoHost

1:21

...

A

Andre CupidoHost

1:21

Gee whiz, like, this could be a bit of a demolition job here, and just seeing Heeney go to work, um, seeing Peter Ladhams go to work-

Tom ChadwickHost

1:28

Mm

A

Andre CupidoHost

1:28

in place of Brodie was just really good to see.
