What to watch out for in the Lightning, the rest of the races at Flemington on Saturday, and what it will all mean for the Blue Diamond the following weekend.
What 'total competitor' and St Kilda train-on player Jack Hayes can offer AFL clubs, how it doesn't necessarily hurt state league clubs to lose players to the top level, what former Eagle James Tsitas will bring to the Gold Coast Suns, how the club "threw our arms around" Tyson Stengle after he was cut by the Crows, why he hopes top-up players will only be taken from his program in extreme cases, and more.
Why women's players should be employed on a full-time basis and remunerated at the same level as the men, how the AFL can build the competition by sharing broadcast revenue more evenly, how women's players have to work to afford their journey whereas the men don't necessarily have to concern themselves with degrees and other employment, and more.
Just under a month out from the start of the season, Kane names his tentative premier, wooden spooner and Brownlow Medallist.

The Australian representative and host of the podcast 'Inside Running' joined passionate marathon runner Kane Cornes on Wednesday morning.
How the injury to Carlton vice-captain Sam Walsh has sharpened Michael Voss' primary message over his first summer as the senior coach, why senior Blues figures are as "bullish" about free agent George Hewett as they are about boom recruit Adam Cerra, how Voss' commanding presence as a triple premiership captain is helping to drive standards at Princes Park, the three standout players early in an Essendon match sim, the difference a full season of football and a complete pre-season will make for Bombers forwards Nik Cox and Archie Perkins, whether Jake Stringer can make it back from a groin injury for the season opener, and more.

How there is plenty of balanced analysis of women's sport if you look for it, why it isn't realistic to hold the Australian women's cricket team to the same standard as the men's team, how we can temper our criticism of AFLW players given what the players are living through at the moment, and more.
Kane Cornes takes your calls on how the media and supporters have framed the drawn Ashes Test against England, the Matildas' quarterfinal loss to South Korea at the 2022 Asian Cup, the AFL Women's season so far, and more.
