Happy end of the home and away season for the aflm to all who celebrate! We say farewell to the bottom 10 but never fear, all 18 teams are still well and truly alive in the aflw.
We start by covering a book week rugby cross over! Please enjoy this clip of players from the Penrith Panthers being taunted during a book week parade by a young Canberra Raiders fan. Reuben was then invited to the game and got to meet raiders players, sing the song and generally get some star treatment.
We then launch into chatting about Izak Rankine’s use of a homophobic slur during the Adelaide -Collingwood game. You can see ‘Rainbow Crow’s full statement here.
Excitingly, we had 3 female boundary umpires make their debuts in the AFL plus Adelaide and West Coast have history making season results. We chat about the Swans impressive win in the AFLW and reflect on some more retirements. Check out Casear's final game as live mascot for the doggies here and here.
Saints fans rejoice - Nas has signed on for 2 more years! Brad Hill’s daughter Harriet announced the news to the playing group on Monday. Ross Lyon told the story of how he found on out Agenda Setters. Check out St Kilda’s banner against GWS here and GWS’ reply here. Port Adelaide pulls it together for an epic farewell of Ken and Travis. Ken’s final press conference is a ripper, check it out here. You also can watch the clip of the Freo staff being evicted from the Doggies training here.
