These are exciting times in football news and speculation. Just ask our very own “footy empath”, Bec Dahl, and resident poetry aficionado, Fiona Newton!

Adelaide people love a Thursday night! (But who wants a Saturday night game?) The 2024 AFLW All-Australian Squad is coming! (And how about the redheads!) North Melbourne’s home turf is going to engulf Perth and Bunbury! Uh, but Hawks games in Dingley…?

The AFLW finals are underway!

The Roos’ mental resilience is robust these days, but don’t underestimate the power of one Crow single-handedly trying to win the game. The Hawks and Lions, who crashed a wedding, inspire whispered confessions in the studio. Things got so rough it’s broken the fourth wall. Our podcaster’s other notes are an inscrutable scrawl. Blame it on the excitement! Blame it on the bad influence of the AFLW in their experimental phase! Rest assured and listen on – the Dockers and Bombers and Port and Richmond got up to noteworthy things in this elimination round too!

Now as the season comes to a close, so too do some playing careers. In honour of the retirees, this episode features encore interviews with legends Jess Del Pos and Rhi Watt.
