## Resource

Yessss Faffers! Big episode today as Dyl and Brett were joined by Channel 7's own Al Nicholson to review a massive long weekend of footy. Al discussed his upbringing in Tasmania and how he got his start in commentary, including his time working alongside Brett at the ABC. We then tackled the big topics in Linc's List and unpacked what may have been the best weekend of footy of the year. Enjoy!
