This week's episode of the Six Points AFL Podcast with Daniel Harford and Mark Stevens will have plenty to discuss in the aftermath of Round 1, with Melbourne's shock win over St Kilda and the weekend's crowd figures front of mind.

The Demons' win was the perfect start for new coach Steven King, while questions are set to be raised on Ross Lyon's call to bring Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera to the bench late in the piece.

Sunday's action also saw the Kangaroos deliver with an emphatic win over Port Adelaide, while 427-game Collingwood veteran Scott Pendlebury is likely set for his first-ever AFL Tribunal hearing after being handed a one-game suspension, potentially bringing the 'good bloke discount' into the frame.
