We kick off with the chaos and glory of State of Origin II: the heartbreaks, the triumphs, and yes, the media pile-on.

For today's episode, we're very lucky to have Bec Daniher joining us in studio ahead of FightMND 's 11th Big Freeze at the MCG. In 2013 AFL legend Neale Daniher, Bec's father, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. But rather than fade into the background, Neale dedicated his life to helping prevent the suffering of those who’ll be diagnosed in the future. The charity he co-founded, FightMND , has since raised $115 million and raised awareness of this devastating illness in Australian culture...

As the AFL has expanded across the country, one question won't go away: should the Grand Final be moved from the hallowed turf of Melbourne Cricket Ground?

It's the debate that never seems to go away. The Brownlow Medal is the AFL's highest individual honour, awarded to the best and fairest player of the home and away season. But every year, the same question is asked by fans and pundits alike: should it just be awarded to the best player on the field? Should the "fairest" element be scrapped entirely, making suspended players eligible? Abbey is joined once again by Laura Spurway to try and settle the debate.

It was hard to avoid the headlines when a social media storm surrounded Algerian boxer Imane Khelif at the Paris Olympics earlier this month.
