5 MINUTE WARNING | The Wild Ride of 1993

About this episode

Ash revisits the chaotic and memorable 1993 AFL season, highlighting key moments and Indigenous contributions to the game.

Ash rockets back into the insanity and colour of the 1993 AFL season — a year that swung between brilliance and bedlam with zero interest in slowing down. He relives the freakish goal-kickers, the monster comebacks, the flashpoint controversies, and yes… the day a pig somehow lined up at full forward. Against the backdrop of the International Year of Indigenous People, Ash also shines a light on the First Nations stars who rose above the noise and forced the footy world to sit up, listen, and respect the impact they were making on the game. A fast, fiery, dive into one of the most unforgettable seasons Australian football has ever produced.
