Overview
- Episode 9 centers the Lady Greyhounds’ promotion, giving the women’s team a major win that also furthers character arcs for Keeley, Roy and several younger players.
- The show reveals that Zelda, working through Hugo, has been buying fan-held AFC Richmond shares, shifting suspicion away from Rebecca’s ex and creating an immediate ownership threat.
- The episode ends with longtime supporter Mae collapsing in the crowd, a dramatic moment that Annette Badland says she was told about shortly before filming.
- Apple TV runs an on‑screen dedication to Anthony Head at the episode’s close, and critics have sharply debated the decision to place that tribute next to the scripted character moment.
- Key questions remain for the Oct. 7 finale, including what happens to Mae’s Richmond shares and how the club takeover subplot will affect Rebecca and Ted, with cast reporting late adjustments to Episode 10 after discussions on set.
