With Fremantle and the Giants sent packing this weekend, who does Roosy feel had a more disappointing season? There are now only six teams left in finals contention, who is the stand-out premiership favourite now? And booing has become an ugly part of the game, how do we call an end to it?

The Crows have been dealt a tactical advantage with Jeremy Howe not taking the field for the Pies tonight, how can they make the most of it? Taylor Walker celebrates his 300th game tonight, Roosy applauds his resilience. It looks like a different kind of father-son team-up as St Kilda are set to host a Silvagni family reunion in 2026.

Plus, the team look ahead to all four exciting matches of finals footy being played this weekend.

A tense game at the Adelaide Oval has resulted in Collingwood earning their place in the preliminary finals, but it was marred by disappointing crowd behaviour.

Izak Rankine has touched down back in Adelaide and faced the media by himself, should the club have sent the cavalry to support him?

The AFL has selected its All-Australian team and despite not captaining Geelong, Jeremy Cameron was awarded skipper, was that the right choice? Bailey Smith spoke candidly about his mental health struggles, how does normalising these conversations advance the game? And it's bye week in the AFL, so all attention can be focused on the Indigenous Round in the AFLW.

The Gold Coast celebrated their 95-point win like they'd won the grand final and everyone's happy to see them make their first finals appearance (except maybe the Bulldogs). Mitch Brown is applauded for being the first bisexual AFL player to publicly come out in the men's competition. It's awards night and Roosy has tipped one player to land a clean sweep. Plus, the team highlight the must-watch AFLW matches this weekend.

24 rounds of footy will finally conclude tonight, can the Bombers rain on Gold Coast's finals parade? Is paying players like Harley Reid and Tom De Koning on potential going to be harmful to clubs in the future? In a sad day for Carlton, Jack Silvangi has announced his intentions to join a new club. Plus, did the AFL get the All Australian squad right?

TDK reportedly has penned a huge eight-year deal with the Saints, is the price right? Willie Rioli has announced his retirement from Port amongst some other surprising delistings. What would it take from the Swans to get Charlie Curnow across the border? And who should be most proud of their season in 2025?

The Bombers will have Bulldogs fans cheering them on this week as they take on the Gold Coast in a thrilling final match of the home and away season. Fremantle's ability to beat top eight teams has secured its finals position, can the Dockers keep the momentum going? Which teams at the bottom of the ladder does Roosy feel can play finals next year? Plus, the team wrap all the round two AFLW action.

The Blues go into the off-season with consecutive wins, but did Tom De Koning's speech to Carlton's room tell us he's leaving the club? Is the four-match ban for Rankine right and how can the AFL improve their investigations? Plus, the team look forward to the remainder of the final round of the home and away season.

Roosy has called it, Dogs v Dockers is the game of the season with everything on the line for both teams. Carlton have Mitch McGovern named as an emergency this week, meaning his 2026 contract is up in the air. Roosy has nothing but praise for Dayne Zorko as he joins the 300 club this weekend, and why is he so excited about Essendon v Carlton on Thursday night?

The AFL is reportedly considering a matrix system for players who use slurs which should result in more consistency but will it stamp out the behaviour? How would Ken Hinkley be feeling as he heads into his final game as coach of Port Adelaide, knowing he will be without Ollie Wines. And with 15 players out of contract next year at Essendon, who will be looking to impress with two matches to go in their season?

Round 23 has set up a blockbuster season finale, which team is set for heartbreak finishing outside the eight? The AFL is investigating reports that Izak Rankine has made a homophobic slur during the Crow's narrow win over Collingwood.

St Kilda have secured their man, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera has signed on for two more years making the club a more attractive prospect for other players. The Adelaide Crows' players were door stopped by the media yesterday to only say the Rankine investigation was 'not ideal', how can clubs best handle this?  And Roosy doesn't hold back on how the Eagles have fallen from grace since their 2018 Premiership.

Hawthorn legend Luke Breust has announced he'll hang up his boots, what legacy will he leave at the club? Which of the two expansion teams will win a premiership first? Is Ken Hinkley what Michael Voss needs at Carlton? Plus the team wrap the AFLW opening matches from last night and preview the remainder of the men's round.

The 10th AFLW season will start tonight, can North Melbourne be the first team to win back-to-back premierships? In the men's competition, ladder predictors will be in overdrive as nine teams can't fit into eight finals spots. Plus, the heat is on coaches with prickly press conferences and why it would be a ‘disgrace' if Freo sacked Longmuir.

Dylan Shiel has been handed a one week suspension for an action that has been likened to Mansell's earlier this year in which he got three weeks, is this fair?

Corbin Middlemas, Ben Cameron and expert Brett Deledio break down - yet another one-sided - Thursday Night Football contest that saw Hawthorn's top eight hopes rise significantly, with a thumping win over Collingwood, whose top two claims took a knock. The crew also assessed the 'bizarre' situation involving the Saints and star Jack Steele, Brisbane's growing injury list and Jack Silvagni's future. 

Matthew Pavlich is a Dockers legend, with an MBA and a successful career in business. So, why was Paul Roos "shocked" by the South Australian's appointment as Swans CEO? We also discuss the best ways to grow talent after the AFL released its 22 Under 22 squad. Plus high praise for Steele Sidebottom as he prepares for game 350 this weekend. 

Nathan Burke takes us inside what Simon Goodwin's last days at the Melbourne Football Club might have been like, plus the public nature of losing a job you love. How much can a recurring injury impact a players mentality? If Dylan Shiel wants to play on in 2026, which clubs might consider him? Plus Burkey weighs in on why the Saints must keep Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, as he compares him to another club legend. 

If Melbourne hasn't called John Longmire yet, club officials are 'berefet in their duties'. That's the view of the man who preceded Simon Goodwin, Paul Roos. In this bumper episode Roos reflects on Goodwin's tenure, his sacking and how the weight of expectation delivered his downfall. The team explain why the move has come now and who Melbourne might consider for the role. 

Corbin Middlemas and Ben Cameron join Paul Roos to unpack an eventful Round 21, that saw a crackdown in the push in the back rule, plus a couple of contenders display what they're best can look like and, according to Roosy, how that form will hold up in September. The crew dig into Brisbane, Collingwood, Adelaide, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, the Dees' list, Will Day and the All Australian ruck discussion.

In this episode of the World Footy BNF Podcast, we sit down with Nas Kirachin of AFL Bulgaria, to explore the remarkable journey of bringing Australian Rules Football to a country with no tradition in contact sport. Nas shares what led to the formation of Bulgaria's first footy community and the challenges of building a club from scratch. Nas also reflects on the personal growth and friendships forged along the way, and the hopes for the future of Aussie Rules in Bulgaria. Hosted By Adam Gomolinski

Corbin Middlemas, Ben Cameron and Brett Deledio react to the Western Bulldogs' monumental 88-point win over the Giants, in what was a shock Thursday Night Football event. The guys then run through some big storylines ahead of the rest of Round 21 in the AFL.

Collingwood coach Craig McRae has admitted he met with Carlton's Jack Silvagni, and Roosy says this could be huge. The race for top eight spots is incredibly tight which means finals effectively start now, so who makes it? The Eagles have asked for draft concessions and if it was up to Roosy they wouldn't get a thing. 

It looks like Eagles' co-captain Oscar Allen might land at the Brisbane Lions in season 2026, and Roosy believes this highlights the fact that free agency means the good teams keep getting better. Paul believes that idea that the competition could expand to a 10-team finals series is rewarding mediocrity. Plus Poppy and Roosy are in agreement over who would be the best AFL Grand Final entertainment. 

Already suspended Toby Greene has been seen kicking Dane Rampe off the ball before the first bounce, how can this type of behaviour continue from their captain and how did the AFL miss this? Melbourne's loss triggered a statement from the board, are they hamstrung to make changes until their season ends? Plus, what would Roosy suggest McQualter do with Harley Reid after a syndesmosis injury sees him sidelined for the rest of the season?

The team take you through the final five minutes of one of the AFL's greatest comeback stories, analysing each play and stoppage resulting in St Kilda's recording-breaking win against Melbourne. With the end of the home and away season looming, who's most likely to miss out on finals? And is anyone surprised by Toby Greene's behaviour anymore?

In this episode of the World Footy BnF Podcast, host Adam sits down with Payton Roocke, former coach of Lyon's men's and women's Aussie Rules teams. Payton shares his journey from growing up in a small Australian town to helping grow the sport in France, highlighting the challenges and rewards of building a footy community abroad. The conversation covers the history and current state of Aussie Rules in France, the dedication of local and expat players, and the unique camaraderie that defines international footy. Payton reflects on coaching, cultural barriers, and the importance of grassroots efforts in expanding the game. Whether you're a die-hard footy fan or curious about the sport's global reach, this episode offers an inspiring look at passion, community, and the love of the game.

Hawthorn outplayed Carlton, meaning Docherty's farewell and Weitering's 200th game wasn't the celebration the Blues had hoped for. Charlie Curnow has shutdown speculation about playing for another club next year. The team debate which is currently the best rivalry match in the league. Plus, they answer all the big questions from Round 20.

After a lengthy deliberation, Steven May has been handed a three-week suspension for his collision with Evans, do Melbourne have grounds for an appeal? Roosy explains how media hype and rumours are felt within the club. What does Paul see in Richmond this week?  Plus, the team rev us up for some big rivalry matches, who will earn bragging rights in the office on Monday?

Special guest, former Bulldogs' captain Bob Murphy stops by to celebrate the club's centenary as well as being recognised in their top 25 players. He recounts some of his best memories from the celebrations and across his time at The Kennel. The team reflect on Sam Docherty's amazing, yet challenging career ahead of his final match on Thursday night and the relief the Dog's fans would have felt with the Bont re-signing.

Roosy believes the game is on the right track issuing huge suspensions for unacceptable behaviour, including inappropriate slurs. If precedent was something the tribunal considered, what incidents would Steven May's lawyers be comparing his to? Carlton releases their pressure value for a week, which would be a relief for the club. And what would it take for Joe Daniher to be lured out of retirement?

Dockers defy most expectations to scrape a one-point win over the Pies at the MCG, proving Collingwood aren't so infallible. The debate about if Steven May will be suspended after his bump on Francis Evans continues. Do the Swans still have a glimmer of hope to make the finals? Plus, the team wrap up all the big moments from Round 19.
