The sizzling sausage, studs on cement, sport in the crisp wintry air.

When the drawbridge goes up, see the absolute state of it.

You're with Pezzan. Here goes, it's the circus.

Footy has commenced, and also footy is about to commence, depending on your code of choice.

Vegas saw record crowds for this year's in our own excursion, but the Zach Lomack situation

overshadowed it all perhaps.

Although there was golden points, so there is that.

The AFL starts this week, and Tom Pappley is on the show to discuss culture, circling,

Coxie, horse, grand finals and Brownlow voting.

But what we really want to know is

can Australia medal in Brisbane 32? The Matildas have commenced their campaign against the Philippines

with a completely unsatisfactory victory. But Sam Kerr is back on the goals and Mary Fowler

is back on the pitch. There's also Com Games gear, Premier League streaming. The F1 starts in Melbourne

this weekend. You're going to tell us what we got wrong in, boys, actually, and you're about

to tell us what's getting you hot this week. Welcome back to another week of the circus. My

name is Ian Higgins. Sam Perry is next to me. Pezza. Happy circus to you. And to you.

Well, I am already looking forward to boys, actually, because it's just a time where, you know,

when you're listening to a show and someone says something that you know more about,

then that is just, ah, it's a fucking sugar into the bloodstream, you know what I mean?

That makes you feel good.

And it makes you feel good to receive that correspondence as well.

So it's a satisfying commencement to the winter programming.
