Summary
The Monday footy shows have Essendon in the gun so Corbin and Bob Murphy wonder if Brad Scott is playing chicken with his own board and if Zach Merrett's wantaway attitude is a pattern. Beyond the Bombers woes, this year might be slipping away for the Bulldogs, St Kilda astound us with another media fail, Bailey Smith has turned a corner in 2026 and having seen him first hand, what physical trait does Bob think helps Scott Pendlebury slow down time. 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.
