THE SHAKEUP: The AFL's queer awakening, psych wards + Katter crash out
The culture of the AFL has been under intense scrutiny all season, and this week there were two big moments: Mitch Brown came out as bi, while Bailey Smith spoke about his time in a mental health facility. So are these conversations the sign a new era is starting in the AFL? Also this week, Bob Katter was caught re-reading his own book in an airport, days before threatening to punch a reporter in the face. We get into what's behind the latest Katter crash out. Host Dave Marchese is joined by The Daily Aus features editor Emma Gillespie, and author and former AFL player Brandon Jack.
