With several clubs struggling for form, the boys ponder what relegation and promotion would be like in AFL, and how it would work in the future. A potential new grand final date also earns some discussion, and the team look at the ‘straight to DVD’ type AFL players. Plus, the boys have a crack at Zero Hanger’s new AFL Player Ratings.

The Hitout AFL Podcast is Zero Hanger’s weekly show covering all of the latest AFL news, views and footy fun, featuring host Phoenix Trinidad and presenters Mitch Keating and Aidan Cellini.
