In this special edition of Red & Black Unfiltered, Pete is joined by former AFL sports doctor Dr. Clugston to go deep on Essendon’s unprecedented injury crisis.
We unpack the causes, the pressure on medical teams, and the emotional toll on players. Dr. Clugston shares insider insights on concussion protocols, player rehab, and the ethical dilemmas faced in high-pressure environments.

We also turn our attention to the Bombers’ resilient showing against Geelong — how the side stood tall despite being undermanned, what it means for team morale, and the role young players are playing in keeping the season alive.

With the Sainters up next, a golden opportunity looms for a much-needed win — we weigh up the chances.

Enjoy, Bomber fans!
