Tess, Julia and Kate ask what the fight between Melbourne players says about masculinity, mental health and club culture, and consider the debate around the AFL's illicit drug policy, with guidance from Dr Annie Madden AO. Plus we offer up a special edition of omen watch and ask which footy song you'd bring back if you had the chance.
