The oasis of "Finals Footy' is flickering on the horizon and as such footy watching feels just that little bit more important and just that little bit more *fun.* Join in the excitement as the Citizen's of The People's Game breakdown another big week in footy!

On the agenda this week:
- JB had a really (like REALLY) good weekend at the footy and wanted to tell you all about it!
- Can players only be personalities when they're winning?
- The "People's Question" tackles the topic of tackling... Is it a skill? Do we like watching tackles? What's the AFL really trying to achieve?
- This week's edition of "Footy Book Club" is a reflection on the Adam Goodes documentary "The Final Quarter" by Ian Darling for Shark Island Productions.
