Back from a post-finals bye, Harper Pestinger and Hamish O'Brien are joined by 7 News Perth's Ryan Daniels for The Things About Football.

The tribunal is first:

0:29 - What makes for a poorly abbreviated footy ground?

2:29 - Which animals have been shunned by football nicknamers? 

And then Ryan's niche footballing loves and hates:

7:12 - Footy songs' brass instrumentals

16:20 - Premiership medal-accepting players' names read out in number order

26:22 - Retrospectively analysing past drafts

35:35 - The obsession with becoming the first to break a story

44:58 - Over-the-top goal music

48:01 - Fans' lack of access to sufficiently deep analytics

From the do-or-die to danger games, scrappy wins to four-quarter performances, the dictionary of Australian rules football is choc-a-bloc with unique phrases, cliches and resulting banana skins.

What counts as must-win? Which players deserve public nicknaming? And how much gusto should each post-victory song earn?

Harper Pestinger, Hamish O’Brien, Connor Buttigieg and guest adjudicators you've actually heard of are here to answer the questions you didn’t know you care about, but in fact really, really do.

Tune in Mondays at 4pm AET on SYN 90.7 FM.
