One of the most emotional moments in Australian sporting history unfolded over the weekend as Jai Arrow returned to the field and notched his 98th game for the Rabbitohs. Georgie Tunny and Abbey Gelmi unpack the scenes that left us all in tears, debate whether AFL's Wild Card experiment has won over its critics, and discuss the growing anti-Geelong movement, the AFL Legends Game, and why Carlton has suddenly become everyone's second favourite team.

And the NRL's most chaotic top eight in years, the rise of the Dolphins, another Cleary emerging to terrify rivals, and why Fremantle remains the most confusing contender in Australian sport.
