The panel previews the AFL Grand Final clash between the Fremantle Dockers and Brisbane Lions at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Featuring Melbourne Lord Mayor Nick Reece and co-host Lizzie Pearl, the discussion highlights the economic windfall for Melbourne (hotel bookings up 20% to 95% capacity), interstate fan excitement, Fremantle's quest for their inaugural premiership flag, and mid-game performer Kylie Minogue—complete with a six-storey mural and dedicated merchandise. In other news, the hosts pivot to a University of Oxford study revealing that women find men more attractive when they donate modest amounts to charity (~$71 USD benchmark) over grand romantic gestures. However, donating excessively for tax write-offs or showboating is deemed an attraction turn-off. The panel concludes with banter on authentic generosity and an early plug for the upcoming Movember men's health initiative. | Subscribe 👉 http://9Soci.al/L72O50GjSJY Join the TODAY team as they bring you the latest in
