The AFL turned back the clock in a series of video-review snafus in round seven, prompting Michael Gleeson, Jake Niall and Sam McClure to ask if the league’s obsession with technology has gone too far. In a different way, Scott Pendlebury, 38, also turned back the clock, producing a timeless Anzac Day performance that raises the question; is he the greatest Magpie ever? We’ve got that and all the other big news from round seven. Support the show: https://subscribe.theage.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
