The SuperFooty Podcast

The final round of 2017 has huge ramifications for 11 teams and a bumper edition of the SuperFooty Podcast breaks down round 23 with top-of-the-table, top four and finals still up for grabs. Huddo, Mick and Lauren also look ahead to the Collingwood board meeting and Nathan Buckley's future, Heritier Lumumba's stunning accusations about the Magpies, Gillon McLachlan's stand against journalists, Ross Lyon's horror finish to the season at Fremantle and the Chris Yarran and Rod Butterss drugs bombshells that have again engulfed the AFL.

Brad Hardie has stuck by his story about Ross Lyon seeking out the Collingwood head coaching job, despite the denials of Lyon and Nathan Buckley, and Huddo, Lauren Wood and Robbo talk the anatomy of a news story. Toby Greene and the boot that has dominated the AFL this weekend is on the agenda and they wonder why St Kilda coach Alan Richardson has avoided the heat this season. Should the Saints trade their two first-rounders for Josh Kelly, did Dimma stuff it up against the Cats and the crew vales legendary footy commentator Harry Beitzel, who died today.

Mark Robinson and Mick Warner go head-to-head over Brodie Grundy's jarring tackle on Ben Brown and join Anthony Hudson and Lauren Wood in discussing the future of tackling - has the AFL got it right and why the hell are we all so confused? Tigers, Bucks, Cats and Dees also on the agenda and is Eddie Betts the best small forward of the modern era?

Should Patrick Dangerfield have copped a week for his tackle on matthew Kreuzer, an inside look at Nick Riewoldt's retirement press conference and are the tables turning for Nathan Buckley at Collingwood? Mark Robinson joins Lauren Wood, Anthony Hudson and Mick Warner on The SuperFooty Podcast

The SuperFooty Podcast explores the move of Collingwood chief Gary Pert to step down and how that affects coach Nathan Buckley and the rest of the club. They're on the Tiger train after the big win over GWS, but are wondering what is wrong with the Giants and why Toby Greene can't stop getting in trouble with the MRP.  Sam Landsberger wonders why every team isn't tagging and why were the Cats the big winners out of the weekend - even though they lost?

It's been a tumultuous fortnight for the AFL, with the loss of three top executives over on field punches and off-field scandal and Mick Warner says the league needs to reflect on how it goes about things as an organisation.  Huddo, Mick and Sam, filling in for Lauren Wood, marvelled at Patrick Dangerfield's performance after being injured against the Hawks on the weekend and were at odds over whether he would line up for the Cats against Adelaide on Friday night. They talked Dusty's love tap on Nick Robertson - will he be suspended? - the Lions' annoying tactics and Bernie Vince's pair of offences that or sure to incur judicial wrath. 

There was an air of inevitability about Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley's press conference after their terrible loss to Essendon on the weekend, but are the Magpies woes really his fault? The SuperFooty Podcast pries open the Collingwood fort to reveal there's more to their problems than meets the eye. Clayton Oliver's blue with a Blue fan, Hawthorn's remarkable finish, Luke Hodge's retirement and Goldstein's big miss also on the agenda for Mick, Huddo and Sam Landsberger, filling in for Lauren Wood.

Demon Tom Bugg's punch on Callum Mills is high on the agenda as the Huddo, Mick and Lauren discuss his impending tribunal hearing and how many weeks he should get, along with the breaking news of AFL diversity manager Ali Fahour's suburban footy punch. The SuperFooty Podcast breaks down Nathan Buckley's future after the Pies' loss to the Hawks and Mick is bullish on tricky Nick Riewoldt's 50m penalty against Fremantle that so angered fans - as well as his beloved Tigers.  All that and more in the SuperFooty Podcast.

Was Round 14 the best AFL round ever? Anthony Hudson, Lauren Wood and Mick Warner break down the quartet of Round 14 matches decided by less than a kick, along with St Kilda's goal-kicking woes, the Pies' compounding problems and the Glenn Archer incident in The SuperFooty Podcast.

In career best form, Bryce Gibbs will have to decide his future at season's end. Dustin Martin also has a big decision to make - and the Tigers want it sooner, rather than later - and are the Dees the new Dogs? Could they win the flag? Break it down with the SuperFooty Podcast's Anthony Hudson, Mick Warner and Lauren Wood.
