## Resource

It’s only the middle of March, but the panic is here. After a shocker in Sydney, the stakes are starting to feel heightened already. With another twenty-one games to go in a very long 2026 season, we can afford to lose no more than four of them if we want to finish in the top four. 17-4 is a big ask in any circumstances, let alone when you’re the reigning premiers and have the entire competition breathing down your neck. Thankfully, the early season bye has given us a brief deep breath to take stock and reload, but the back-to-back premiership glow we’ve been enjoying over the summer is starting to feel like a distant memory. This week on the podcast: -Is the Kiddy/Zorko backline combination working? -Behind the scenes of afl.com.au 's Return of the Pride podcast -Dom's pitch for what Mike should do if the Lions complete the hat trick And much more!
