Description

There's nothing better on a Sunday than to curl up on the couch with a fresh cup of coffee, a lavish serving of smashed avocado and review the week in footy... so join The People's Game to do just that!

On the agenda this week:
- Zach Merrett makes a stand on sexism in footy
- Collingwood makes Lil' Kyron their champion for a day
- Josh Green speaks out on footy fat shaming
- Erin Molan gets justice against (one of) the trolls
- Steven May has a beer and the footy world falls apart

PLUS

We have a special edition of Book Club, as our very own Kasey Symons is the Author in Residence to discuss the first chapter of her PhD and Lyle Olsen Graduate Student Contest Winning essay: "Goodnight Stories for Female Sports Fans"
