After another summer spent basking, footy is just about upon us again. Next Saturday night (assuming no cyclones form between now and then), the Lions will unfurl the Premiership flag for the second consecutive year, before kicking off the 2026 AFL season against the Western Bulldogs.

We’ve had one dose of pre-season footy already in last week’s hit-out against Carlton, and there’s still one to come before the real stuff gets underway, with the Suns heading to Brighton Homes Arena for Thursday night’s fixture.

This week on the podcast:

-The club’s #1 ticket holder Dan Anstey joins us again

-Who will get the final wing spot for Opening Round?

-We’ve found some incredible Fitzroy audio from the archives

And much more!
