🗣️ Key talking points:

* The Adelaide Oval experience courtesy of Mick Cowan;

* Brad’s early preview of his Selection Dissection column;

* Box Hill’s disappointing end to an otherwise excellent VFL season;

* Julia’s recap of our first AFLW loss of the season against the Crows;

* Hawthorn’s remarkable turnaround over the past three years;

* All our listeners’ questions including Zach Merrett trade talk; plus

* Our Prelim preview and predictions (of course).
