Show Notes
This week on Red Time, JB and Coxy discuss whether AFL players need to be more careful about what they say on podcasts following Brayden Maynard's comments after his umpire contact fine. The boys also debate whether the deliberate rushed behind rule has run its course, react to reports linking Gold Coast with a move for Nick Daicos, unpack the myths around one-week hamstring injuries, and ask whether co-coaches could ever work in the AFL?
