In The Ball Park Episode 9

The Footy Carnival is officially over...for now.

We have 20 big days worth of footy to cover on this weeks episode which includes Rounds 10, 11 and 12 in a bumper edition of 'In The Ball Park'.

We discuss the Winners & Losers of the final leg of fixture including the Tigers who don’t have to travel to Perth and they play the worst side in the comp in the final round of the season and we look at Port Adelaide who have full 7 Day Breaks and Prime Time Slots meanwhile we dissect the struggle Bombers who will face three flag contenders in 11 days whereas the high flying Eagles will play 5 games in 18 days and will have to return to their hapless hub in Queensland, the question remains: will the fixture negatively affect these clubs finals chances?

This week on 'My Footy Memory' Michael recounts the time he played on a frozen oval where he lined up against a large ragged, rocky and wooly sheep, in a contest that was a war of attrition to survive against his aggressive animal opponent.

On this week's edition of 'Bring It Back, Give It The Sack, Have A Crack' we highlight the triumphant returns to footy for players who have missed several seasons due to debilitating injuries that threatened to end their careers including the 'mulleted' journeyman Lynden Dunn who proved his 'not Dunn yet'.

The boys want to 'Give Staging The Sack' after Callan Ward and Tom Papley's Oscar Nominations for best actor in a game changing situation.

If the great Irish innovator of the modern game, Conor McKenna can kick a miraculous Rabona kick in the pregame should he 'Have A Crack' at kicking it in a live game situation?

And the gentlemen will preview Round 13 which is Sir Doug Nicholls Round where the footy public celebrates the great indigenous players who have ever put on a footy jumper and have captivated us with their extraordinary skills and leadership in the community.

Get excited for this week's episode of 'In The Ball Park' that will make you interested in lamb shanks, Japanese automatically flushing toilets and big Austrian giants - you need to hear it to believe it!
