Summary
Essendon were unable to get over the line against North Melbourne and the stats weren’t pretty. What needs to change at the club? After Port Adelaide’s impressive upset win over Adelaide last night, is the Showdown the best rivalry in footy? Is the AFL too far into the weeds when it comes to the rules? Plus, all the latest news from Round 16. 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.
