Round 17 is almost upon us, and the race to the finals is reaching a fever pitch! In this episode, we break down a massive weekend of footy full of huge matchups that are bound to shape the 2026 ladder. We have several second-time matchups for the round, including a high-stakes clash between the Cats and the Lions down at GMHBA Stadium, a vital Swans and Bulldogs battle at the SCG, and the Hawks hosting the Demons in Tasmania.
And as always, we’re taking a trip down memory lane, digging into the archives to see what happened the very first time these historic rivals faced off on the field. From the deep VFL history of Richmond vs. Carlton at the MCG to the origins of newer rivalries like the Suns and Magpies, we uncover the stories, legendary names, and bizarre moments of days gone by.
