ABC AFL Daily

Corbin and Bob have watched the Monday night footy shows so you don’t have to and they unpack the big issues. Are Essendon looking to replicate Brisbane’s rise to the top with some of the key personnel linked to the club?

Meanwhile Bob thinks that the Bombers have ‘no right’ to be upset about comments made by Leigh Matthews about their coaching environment, despite the club asking the AFL for action. Is Jake Stringer on the out at the Giants due to financial troubles? Plus did Lachie Neale REALLY need to tour the Collingwood facilities when he was in town? Bob doesn’t think so.
