'A fight for a spot in the eight' - a podcast by The Age and Sydney Morning Herald

This week on the Real Footy podcast, Michael Gleeson, Caroline Wilson and Jake Niall discuss the turnaround at the Bombers, from a “lost year” in 2020 to Saturday night’s phenomenal win. Dreamtime will be a massive game in the context of the season, with Essendon breathing down Richmond’s neck in the finals race. Plus, criticism of the Pies' game style, change looming at Carlton, the Dees cement premiership favouritism and much more.
