Why Bob Murphy says Fremantle should double down on Wharfie Time

Welcome to the Freo wake and final Lions celebrations as Corbin, Bob and a bonus Ben round out season 2026 with a look at the Monday footy shows. Bob Murphy gives us his Dockers autopsy calling out the physical grief of Justin Longmuir, why they should definitely review the game, what Fremantle need to level up and why 'Wharfie Time' should remain.

There's also speculation around Chris Fagan's future, why Josh Dunkley is underrated greatness, John Longmire has given Bombers fans something to be happy about and it's looming as Buckley or Graham as the next Kangaroos coach.

Plus, stay tuned next week for our trade period special episodes too with Daniel Harford and Adam Ramanauskas guiding you through every day of silly season.
