LIONS LOWDOWN | Gather Round Preview & Media Watch

About this episode

Ash provides a preview of the Gather Round and critiques media coverage while discussing game logistics.

🦁 Ash swings in for a sharp, fiery little hit-and-run before Gather Round kicks off, with all the ins and outs for our game against the Roos at Barossa Park, taking aim at a few mainstream media loudmouths while surprising himself by agreeing with some of the analysis. 🦁 He wades into the chaos of Gather Round fixturing and ticketing with a few blunt suggestions for how the league could actually get it right, and wraps it all up with an update on the fresh new role handed to an AFLW premiership skipper. 🦁 Quick, opinionated, and full of that trademark Lowdown bite — this minisode sets the tone for a massive weekend ahead.
