Back from a post-finals bye, Harper Pestinger and Hamish O'Brien are joined by 7 News Perth's Ryan Daniels for The Things About Football.

The tribunal is first:

0:29 - What makes for a poorly abbreviated footy ground?

2:29 - Which animals have been shunned by football nicknamers? 

And then Ryan's niche footballing loves and hates:

7:12 - Footy songs' brass instrumentals

16:20 - Premiership medal-accepting players' names read out in number order

26:22 - Retrospectively analysing past drafts

35:35 - The obsession with becoming the first to break a story

44:58 - Over-the-top goal music

48:01 - Fans' lack of access to sufficiently deep analytics
