After spending more than 100 days away from home, players from the Tigers, the Storm and the Vixens all return victorious in a Herculean effort.

In this week’s episode of The Sporting Post, hosts Seb and Mitch look back on a fantastic month of sport for proud Victorians, before looking ahead to next week’s Melbourne Cup.

The event will be without its usual trackside glitz and glamour for the first time in its history, pulling into sharp focus the race itself and raising ethical questions about racing animals for sport.
