THE HITOUT: Crazy AFL milestones + WORST footy cliches

Taking inspiration from the Masters earlier in the week, Phoenix raises the idea of what a pure football experience would look like for fans, broadcasters and games. The boys also check in on the AFL Teams Draft after the first quarter of the season, and are joined by Zero Hanger writer Harrison McIlwaine to go over the worst cliches in footy. Plus, two big - but very different - milestones also deserve some attention ahead of Round 6.

The Hitout AFL Podcast is Zero Hanger’s weekly show covering all of the latest AFL news, views and footy fun, featuring host Phoenix Trinidad and presenters Mitch Keating and Aidan Cellini.
