Are you sick of hard hitting journalism and hot takes? Footy & Friends is the place for you. Join Dylan Buckley and his mates for three episodes a week of footy chat the way it should be: honest, light-hearted and from people who actually played the game (mostly not very well!) Mick Barlow and Brett Deledio unpack the weekend's action and look ahead on Mondays and Wednesdays, with Tommy Sheridan joining on Fridays. Sit back, relax and get ready for self-insertion, tangents and fun, the way footy should be.
