Summary
Off the back of the "incredibly difficult" to watch Four Corners episode on concussion and CTE, Bob Murphy reflects on his former Bulldogs teammate Matty Robbins' vulnerability and what the AFL needs to do from here. Corbin and Bob also digest the biggest talking points out of the Monday footy shows including why the premiership is Fremantle's to lose, what Essendon's coaching criteria says about James Hird, why the next GWS CEO is key to Toby Greene staying or going and whether Damien Hardwick still thinks 80% of the Suns first premiership is on their current list. ABC AFL commentators Corbin Middlemas and Ben Cameron are joined by a rolling squad of former AFL players and legends of the game to analyse matches, deep dive the stories dominating the footy landscape, recap game highlights and talk through the latest AFL ladder standings. Our squad of Aussie Rules legends runs deep with champion ex-players like Brett Deledio, Marc Murphy and Luke Ball, record-holding coach Mick Malthouse and many more. The team discuss everything from AFL games and fixtures, to the AFL draft and key players' performance, and of course our highlights of the year; AFL Grand Final and AFL State of Origin.
