Plus we go back through the highlights from our interviews this year - it's a final episode for the ages!
Carlton superstar Darcy Vescio joins the pod this week, in an emotional episode. They reflect on how they've felt in the months since announcing they're non-binary, and why crying isn't always a bad thing.

Sharni Layton, being the warrior that she is, is playing injured this week! She’s returned triumphantly with her dulcet tones as her ever important voice recovers, to join Sam Lane for an important episode of The W. The team talk everything AFLW finals and the ongoing impact of covid as Collingwood face a uniquely challenging preparation to their clash against premiership contenders in Brisbane. Sam & Sharni then turn their attention to the recent events within football media, that has forced the industry to reflect on its own cultural problems.
Sam Lane hosts the pod this week alongside... no one? That's right, the podcast gods - and a great number of netball clinics - have struck down Sharni Norder's voice, and she's been given doctor's orders to mute herself. But don't fret, this week's episode of The W with Sharni and Sam will be out later in the week, so stay tuned! In the meantime, everyone please send healing vibes to Sharni's vocal chords.
