On this week’s episode, there’s plenty to unpack from another chaotic round of AFL footy! Collingwood pinch a thriller thanks to a clutch quarter from Nick Daicos, Essendon continue their surprise rise, and Melbourne turn heads by stunning the reigning premiers. Meanwhile, the Suns have everyone scratching their heads and Brisbane’s form has big question marks hanging over it.

We dive into a huge Round 6 wrap featuring controversy, tribunal chaos, and some seriously questionable moments — including incidents involving Moore, Sicily, and the fallout from the Butters decision.

There’s also a closer look at the Hollands situation and what it means in the broader conversation around player wellbeing, plus another bizarre head knock moment involving Petty.

To wrap things up, we preview a massive ANZAC Round with key matchups set to shape the ladder, including Bombers vs Magpies and a big test for Brisbane.
