DID you miss last night's AFL television shows? Rewind and catch up here on all of hot topics and big issues discussed.
AFL 360
* Essendon coach James Hird will today face ASADA officials. Herald Sun chief football writer Mark Robinson said he did not yet know what we will come out of it. He said it was a complex situation, but expected the interview to last every part of two days. He also expected Hird to speak publicly at the end of it.
* Still on Essendson, senior assistant Mark Thompson was quick to heap praise on the players following the gutsy win over Fremantle, describing it as "pretty special."
* Thompson also gave an insight into Hird, saying his mind was very much on the job."He's (Hird's) strong - he needs support and care, and he goes up and down. But he's still coaching well and he's a strong man. He's very, very determined and doing his job," Thompson said.
* Collingwood opposition analyst Rodney Eade was also full of praise - but for Hawthorn after they demolished the Magpies on Sunday. "They were super impressive," Eade said. He also said Collingwood's performance was not like them.

ON THE COUCH
* Robert Walls was back as a panelist in the absence of Paul Roos.
* Collingwood was high on the agenda. Walls said he was staggered by the way they fell away against Hawthorn. "Bucks would be disappointed in the way they were beaten," he said.
* North Melbourne coach Brad Scott was the guest. The Kangaroos have made a winless start to the season and Scott said lapses have hurt them and quality opposition have made them pay.
* Scott revealed Majak Daw was close to making his AFL debut. "He's a chance (this weekend)," he said. Scott said the challenge was fitting all the club's talls in.

OPEN MIKE
* Rex Hunt, who was this week's guest, paid an emotional tribute to his wife, Lynne, after she stood by him despite his confession about 15 years of liaisons with other women. "Without Lynn, I would either be in jail or in Boot Hill (a cemetery)," he said.
* Hunt said some well publicised incidents made him re-evaluate his life."I hope when I take my last breath I haven't got any regrets because I am making up for lost time with my family," he said.
* Hunt also spoke about the tragic loss of his great friend and co-worker Clinton Grybas. "I loved that boy like one of my own," Hunt said.

FOOTY CLASSIFIED
* Not surprisingly, Essendon topped the agenda here.
* Caroline Wilson said the Bombers were not out of the woods, nor was Hird.
* Matthew Lloyd said it was clear the players were "playing for their coach" and slammed some sections of the media for "hanging him out to dry."
* Lloyd slammed Melbourne's decision not to play Jack Watts against West Coast.
