ANZAC Footy... What is it good for? (Plus VFL nostalgia and AUSTUS!)

The People's Game

The two bookish footy nerds are back and they're firing on all cylinders this week! Jack and Gordo discuss the nostalgic merits of a day at the VFL (or any local footy for that matter) as well the place State Leagues hold in the modern era and the role they play for the sport in general. The boys pay their respects and analyse ANZAC Round and whether or not footy is an appropriate way to mark the occasion. Book Club this week is based on an article exploring the invention of 'AUSTUS' (https://goo.gl/pQcikw) and acts as a launching pad to explore the AFL's globalisation complex and a 'novel' way to reduce congestion. Plus, Banno finishes off with a good, old fashioned rant about Grand Final times and draws... Plenty of footy thoughts for you all!
