Finals footy is just around the corner, but before they gear up for Finals Fever, the "Citizens of the People's Game" are doing some reflecting on the 2019 season - under the microscope this week - footy media!
On the agenda this week:
- The Citizens discuss the merits (and feasibility) of a floating fixture...
- Kasey reminisces on the grandeur that is the Suburban Footy Burger...
- JB ponders if the AFL could have their own "Field of Dreams"...
- Kasey asks why Footy Twitter had to rain on people's snow parades...
- JB laments that fact that Tall Poppy Syndrome is alive and well in sports media
- The "People's Question" asks: "What's lost (or gained) when the AFL is the largest provider of their own storytellers?"
- This week's edition of "Footy Book Club" is a review of this year's footy shows (mostly Fox Footy programming) and what the role of the footy media is...
