This week on the Real Footy podcast, we discuss whether the introduction of a 19th team could provide the perfect opportunity for an overhaul of the fixture, such as a 19-game season, an expanded finals series or a return to state of origin. Plus, what has helped the Pies thrive this season, the worry over Sydney, why the Cats look different this year and much more.
