The team is together for yet another GIGANTIC WEEK in the Aussie Rules Football landscape, everyday something new happens, Victorian clubs are getting kicked out of their homes, the West Coast Eagles are still having a sook about sunny, 24 degree celsius days, golf courses and pristine beaches whilst Alastair Clarkson wants a 'Triple Espresso' from Gil and a whole bunch of new rule changes as he's getting bored in the coaches box - we propose our own rules for the AFL to consider.

The team gets even more MONUMENTAL with the 'Bring It Back, Give it the Sack, Have a Crack' segment with the game in China, the security guard waltz in the last minute of games, the notorious 'Count Up Clock', the preseason Wizard Cup and the prospect of playing footy games in India are all topics of discussion in this weeks electric segment.

And get EXCITED for two BRAND NEW SEGMENTS 'Credit Where Credit Is Stewie Dew' where we say thanks to some of the great random acts of kindness in the game and we introduce Michael's finished homework task from the previous week given to him by Mr.Maxy, in case you forgot what that all important task was we'll give you a clue ... it's a sign guessing game and the sign is in this weeks cover photo, see if you can guess to win ... absolutely diddly squat.

Round 4 was an absolutely RIVETING round, just like this weeks episode, our finest yet so grab a footy, find a local oval near you, put your ear phones/pods/wires in your UFC ears and listen to this weeks episode of 'In The Ball Park'.
