This week on the Real Footy podcast, Michael Gleeson, Jake Niall and Caroline Wilson discuss the teams that have done well during the AFL's festival of football, and the ones that have struggled. Has the condensed fixture caused problems for Essendon and Collingwood? Or has it just revealed issues that were already there?
We look at the teams that have been playing at a level above everyone else this season  and how their power forwards have been dominating, ask whether the ARC should be used to review incidents such as the lead-up to Jack Newnes' goal and discuss whether Melbourne are truly out of the woods.
