Deledio says no contact training is nonsensical and full round 16 preview

Corbin & Lids preview the round ahead but first go deep on whether the AFL's proposal to limit contact training in 2027 could actually result in more injuries. The final bye round is here and includes what might be the last Showdown for Zak Butters and/or Tex Walker. Plus, the Mason Cox v Sean Darcy predicament is real, why Errol Gulden makes the Swans infinitely better, do we over-analyse the Magpies list and why there's no chance Sam Mitchell would leave Hawthorn. ABC AFL commentators Corbin Middlemas and Ben Cameron are joined by a rolling squad of former AFL players and legends of the game to analyse matches, deep dive the stories dominating the footy landscape, recap game highlights and talk through the latest AFL ladder standings. Our squad of Aussie Rules legends runs deep with champion ex-players like Brett Deledio, Marc Murphy and Luke Ball, record-holding coach Mick Malthouse and many more. The team discuss everything from AFL games and fixtures, to the AFL draft and key players' performance, and of course our highlights of the year; AFL Grand Final and AFL State of Origin.
