At the halfway point of the season, Riley Beveridge took the plunge into naming his mid-year All-Australian team. With two rounds to go, we put him under the hammer – which players have bolted into calculations? And, which players from the mid-year side would be on the outer? 

Join Sarah Olle, Cal Twomey and Riley himself, as he talks through how his team looks with the home and away season finishing in a fortnight's time. 

Away from the team of the year, on the field, the Demons have again had their premiership credentials questioned. Will Lance Franklin find himself at a third home before his career finishes? Plus, on the back of Josh Kennedy being farewelled to Blink 182, we ask the question – what would your farewell song be?
