## Resource

More than 20 fines and a suspension were handed down by the MRO for rough conduct, engaging in a melee and umpire contact during Gold Coast v Collingwood. What happened and are the sanctions fair? What’s going on with the Suns and how have they fallen to where they are on the ladder? Plus, how can those in the Carlton coaching race respect the process? 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.
