Join us one last (?) time for the 2025 AFL season to talk defenders, footy, the AFLW and more. We give our final votes and crown the Scarlett-Silvagni Medal winner, and tip the winners for the first week of the finals.

And after all that, there was one round left. AFLW opening weekend was sick, don't say slurs, Ryan Lester is Harris Andrews' favourite player, and things are looking a bit Dockery.

Whatever they're offering Wanganeen-Milera, double it; Essendon are hell bent on breaking the debutants record; most of the weekend was record-setting beltings, and the finals race is now (truly) down to nine.
