The bye rounds are coming but before they do, the citizen's of The People's Game are here to perform a health check on the AFL season so far...
On the agenda this week:
- Kasey discusses her European PhD tour (read: junket)
- JB discusses Michael Wilson's photo of Simon Lethlean and Paddy McCartin
- Kasey asks whether inviting trolls to heckle in person is a good idea?
- Gordo summaries the key narratives that will play out in the second half of the AFL season
- The People's Question is: "When it comes to Indigenous Round, is symbolism enough?"
