Summary
Essendon have hit "ctrl alt delete" on Brad Scott's Bombers tenure and it's left Corbin & Bob Murphy surprised and sympathetic. The Monday board meeting coupled with the passing of Neale Daniher doesn't sit right, James Hird's name still looms large and the club backtracking on their own strategy after so many losses raises more questions than answers. As well, Corbin & Bob reflect on Neale Daniher as a "prophet" who's commandments should be studied, why the hunger of the Brisbane Lions is under the microscope, how caretaker coach Josh Fraser is ticking all the boxes and Beveridge serves up another motivational metaphor. All the big issues and Monday footy show takes boiled down for you thanks to Corbin Middlemas and Bob Murphy. 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.
