THURSDAY RUB | K-Mac and Hosko's Passionate Plea for AFLW, Hawthorn's Aine McDonagh

Hev, K-Mac, Hosko and Isaac are assembled at IKON Park for Hawthorn to take on Melbourne in the AFLW - and true to form, Hosko is being a menace in the commentary box. We've dug back into the history of AFLW, and found audio of both Hosko and K-Mac from their first seasons - where they perhaps weren't as polished behind a microphone as they are now. Merv Hughes joins the show from Darwin with a review of Day One of the first test between Australia and Bangladesh. In K-Mac's Royal Commission, she responds to an article asking why the AFL has given up a lucrative night for men's footy to put AFLW as a standalone game - and Hosko joins in with a passionate plea to give the AFLW the chances it needs to grow. Finally, Hawthorn star Aine McDonagh joins Hev and K-Mac on the boundary, and dishes a bit of dirt on the afterparty following the Australia vs Ireland game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
