Buckle up, besties — we don’t mess around this week. We’re unpacking Jacob Gaynor’s big move to Tassie (check out the interview Mon recommended with him here), giving you the lowdown on AFLW Round 11 (the finals race is heating up), and chatting about cult figure Stuart Dew’s move to Port Adelaide.  Plus, the AFL is bringing State of Origin back (retro chic, anyone?), Kate McCarthy has thoughts on where the AFLW Grand Final should be played, and Bailey Smith elicits a response from the AFL after another social media post. Caroline Wilson’s article responding to Geelong’s Mad Monday outfits is here in case you want a refresher. We’re also decoding one of footy’s most used but underexplained stats — metres gained — in a way that’ll actually make sense. And don’t miss our twist on the usual social segment.Join our tipping comp and the anyone’s game community by signing up on the AFL Live app or aflwtipping.afl with comp code 3C6SJ3FN.This week’s sources come from:​New head of content to join Devils ranks on tasmaniafc.com​Meet the unlikely duo behind the AFL’s social media renaissance by Penry Buckley for smh.com.au​Port Adelaide Power hold off Adelaide Crows for historic Showdown win by Jason Phelan for afl.com.au​AFLW Stats – Key Stats 2025 Season on afl.com.au​They’re BACK: Lions overpower Dees to claim second seed status by Michael Whiting for afl.com.au​Spread the word: Lions-Demons AFLW clash to be broadcast in Hindi by Dylan Bolch on afl.com.au​Crunch win sees Sydney Swans boost finals hopes, West Coast Eagles forced to wait by Martin Pegan on afl.com.au​AFLW fights for fans’ attention after a long men’s season by Marnie Vinall for abc.net.au ​Fremantle Dockers keep top eight dream alive after impressive win over Richmond Tigers by Nathan Schmook on afl.com.au​Jodie Hicks – Richmond AFLW Player Profile on richmondfc.com.au​Hicks announces AFLW retirement on richmondfc.com.au ​AFL 2025: Stuart Dew to depart Brisbane Lions to return to Port Adelaide Power by Ben Cotton for foxsports.com.au​Chris Scott and Dean Cox unveiled as coaches for return of State of Origin between Western Australia and Victoria by Martin Smith for afl.com.au​Kate McCarthy says AFL lack ambition over decision to keep AFLW Grand Final at Ikon Park by Ben Sutton for 7news.com.au​Bailey Smith handed official warning from AFL over social media posts on foxsports.com.au​Metres gained: Breaking down AFL’s most misunderstood statistic by Jake Michaels for espn.com.auWant to support the pod?
