The AFL world has stopped turning. What comes next, nobody knows.

Nick Rynne and Xavier Ellis try to make sense of the most extraordinary week in the AFL's history, including:

What the industry looks like on the other end of this.

What happens at club level.

Player pay cuts.

How this will change the face of the game.

What comes next for this podcast, we're keeping it rolling!!!

PLUS we actually had a round of football!!! Toby Greene, the woeful Dogs and plenty more are on the agenda.
