## Resource

How did Hawthorn keep the Saints goalless for a half of footy? Is Jack Gunston on track to kick 100 goals this year? The search for a full-time senior coach at Essendon has ramped up, is Hird’s name the one the fans want to hear? Has the AFL got its bye rounds structure right? Plus, all the big questions answered ahead of the rest of Round 12. 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.
