Happy AFL Grand Final Week! It’s the best week of the year and there’s so much to cover. We kick off the ep chatting about Geelong Coach Chris Scott’s response to his own and Bailey Smith’s recent inappropriate acts. We then break down both of the men’s preliminary finals from this weekend. TLDR? This post from @typemediaau gives a vibey summary. Will North Melbourne ever slow down in the W? Unlikely. We then cover the captains who want out from their clubs :(
This week, Mon shares this Tik Tok from Hester Mary Brown, while Marielle shares this Insta Reel from the Brisbane Lions.
