It's been one of the good news stories of the 2020 Season, players returning to footy who have missed several seasons due to debilitating injuries that threatened to end their careers. On the weekend cult hero and all round 'mulleted' journeyman Lynden Dunn ran around on an AFL footy field for the first time in 773 days. What a moment, what a goal, what a team celebration, 'not Dunn yet'.
On this week's edition of 'Give It The Sack' the boys agree enough is enough, no more staging, the show's favourite smartass Tom Papley was handed a $500 fine for his staging free against Sydney and Giants hard man Callan Ward didn’t receive a fine but did receive an Oscar Nomination for his acting effort. Brownlows, Golden Fists and Colemans YES Academy Awards in AFL NO!
And on 'Have A Crack' we look to one of the great innovators of the modern game, Irishman Conor McKenna, who already has the solo, peroxide hair and a gibberish interview up his sleeve but on the weekend he showed us his miraculous soccer skills pre-game that have our collective heads spinning. He kicked a Rabona goal but should he try this trick in an AFL game? We think he may not be able to resist.
We also ask should the scissor kick be attempted more at AFL level by forwards, it's one of the hardest, most celebrated skills on the soccer field but should we invite it more in the game of AFL?
