The Sydney Swans scandal has left fans devastated, but what does it mean for a club that built its identity around being progressive, inclusive and different from other sporting codes?

Plus, Harry and Meghan are moving back to the UK... but why? Our royal correspondent Holly Wainwright dials in to tell us what’s really behind their return, from family reconciliation to Meghan’s career and Harry’s relationship with his home country.

Monday Headlines: Record crowd turns out for Swans AFLW clash after tumultuous week for the club Australia records first case of bird flu in a mammal Pauline Hanson steps in after One Nation MP says party's targets 'not too different' from Labor's Sydney shark attack victim speaks publicly for the first time Major blunder found on Sydney Marathon medal Deep Dive: The federal government is attempting to roll out its largest gun buyback in a generation in the wake of the Bondi Beach terror attack. New South Wales is the first state to sign on - paying licensed owners from November to surrender their firearms, pulling a huge slice of the state's registered guns from circulation. But other states are dragging their feet, shooters say they're being unfairly singled out, and critics argue the very people we should fear won't hand anything over. So will it actually work - or is it a costly show of action? In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou is joined by public health expert and senior advocacy advisor at the Alannah and Madeline Foundation, Stephen Bendle to unpack what this landmark scheme can really achieve, and where its loudest criticisms land.

Hev, K-Mac, Hosko and Isaac are assembled at IKON Park for Hawthorn to take on Melbourne in the AFLW - and true to form, Hosko is being a menace in the commentary box. We've dug back into the history of AFLW, and found audio of both Hosko and K-Mac from their first seasons - where they perhaps weren't as polished behind a microphone as they are now. Merv Hughes joins the show from Darwin with a review of Day One of the first test between Australia and Bangladesh. In K-Mac's Royal Commission, she responds to an article asking why the AFL has given up a lucrative night for men's footy to put AFLW as a standalone game - and Hosko joins in with a passionate plea to give the AFLW the chances it needs to grow. Finally, Hawthorn star Aine McDonagh joins Hev and K-Mac on the boundary, and dishes a bit of dirt on the afterparty following the Australia vs Ireland game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sparrow brought the pessimism:"That's it, we're cooked..."THEN ORCA RUNS HIS PREDICATOR AND WE'RE MEETING THE HAWKS IN A PRELIM!!!That's what the Orange Crush is for — lifting us up through the dark moments of August pain.But let's cut to the facts: we have developed a rather concerning habit of breaking incredible runs of losses and gifting a delightful W to struggling teams.Which is lovely, but it has to stop.That's the first item in our Season 2027 Manifesto.The second? Work out how to keep troops on the paddock.Two more soldiers down...BRING IN KEEFFE!!! Heard he's still playing. Or maybe that coach in the Ressies that first debuted in the late 90s. Desperate times, desperate measures...But seriously... how good's Delana?What a breakout game.Silver linings, folks.Well...
