For our last live shows of the year, we're bringing you a whole week of Shakeups and taking a walk down memory lane.

If anything captured the nation's collective attention this year, it was the Matildas at the FIFA Women's World Cup (go Tillies!!!).

But while there were sporting highs, there were also sporting lows. We'll unpack pay disputes at Netball Australia, management issues at Rugby Australia and the potential death of the Commonwealth Games.

Join Hack's Dave Marchese with sports podcasters Lavender Baj and Josh Garlepp.
