Hawks, Cats deliver again; Blues smell of panic

Hawthorn and Geelong serve up the game this AFL season needed, Carlton capitulate once more, Steven King's Demons provide a blueprint for beating the Suns, and the Brisbane Lions' Will Ashcroft puts on a clinic against the Pies. This week on the Real Footy podcast, Michael Gleeson, Peter Ryan and Sam McClure also debate the value of old-school coaching sprays, the merit of wildcard round, the trade Collingwood will live to regret, and whether Zach Merrett's wife, Alexandra, had to pre-book for her fine-dining experience when the Bombers were on the canvas against the Bulldogs on Saturday night.
