This morning on the show, Seany spoke to ex-Melbourne Demons player, Shaun Smith, about the AFL's decision to change the format of the E.J. Whitten Legends Game.

It's safe to say a lot of people aren't happy with the new format and location, which will now be played at AAMI Park in Melbourne. The AFL have said the new format will be as follows:

The match will be played over four x 15 minute quarters with 10-point supergoals from outside the launch zone, as well as ‘X-factor’ moments including celebrity Power Players – introduced at the 10-minute mark of each quarter with potential to score double-points for their team.

The game will be dubbed EJX, drawing inspiration from the AFL's AFLX format.
