Injury updates from Haggers

Three time Premiership player for Geelong Matthew Scarlett joined Brad and Haggers on 6PR to take a trip down memory lane. 

Although his playing days were impressive, Scarlett has since turned his hand to coaching and Brad thinks for the former fullback is set to be the next AFL head coach. 

"I just love having a positive influence on young men that are trying to achieve something special in their life and I feel very fortunate in the career that I have," Scarlett said. 
But he admitted he says he's still not sure if he wants the top job. 
"I'm still unsure; I'm certainly not in a rush to get into a position like that," he said.  

Matthew Scarlett is known for his toe poke that won Geelong the 2009 Grand Final, but West Aussies remember his for the punch he threw at Fremantle's Hayden Ballantyne. 

He reminisced about both of those moments.

AFL clubs will continue to struggle financially for years to come and the Brisbane Lions CEO says staff cuts will go into next year with further changes coming.

Hawthorn still want to play their four games in Tasmania when the AFL season starts back up again. 

Hawthorn Football Club President Jeff Kennett told 6PR they have appealed to the AFL and the Government to allow them to continue their agreement with Tasmania.
