Social Talk' is back again in what is yet another week with plenty happening.
Here's what's made news on the socials this week:
2021 AFL Theme Song?
The 2021 footy season was certainly full of shocks and surprises and nothing quite captures the year like this AFL parody song below that was posted to Twitter.
Take a listen! ๐

Gawn Junior
Melbourne premiership star Max Gawn and wife Jessica have welcomed their first child George Gawn into the world.
Max Gawn shared a series of snaps to his Instagram of the family with the caption:
'George Oliver Gawn. 27/10/21. Mum was best on, closely followed by George.'
Congratulations to the Gawn family!
Catch of the Day
From touring Australia to publishing books, players have wasted no time making the most of the off-season but this fishing trip takes the mark.
Pictured below, Brownlow medalist Patrick Dangerfield is stoked to have caught this enormous tuna whilst out on the water.ย
If next years footy season doesn't play out for Dangerfield, then perhaps he could fall back on his fishing.
Footy star turned child author
Star players including Max Gawn and Dustin Martin have recently released their own books, which fans are likely to be rushing to book stores to get their hands. However, it is Bulldogs skipper Marcus Bontempelli's picture book that surprised the footy community.
Bontempelli has become a child author with Fiona Harris on the Children's picture book 'Little Bont and the Big Secret.'
The story includes Bontempelli's love of footy and his beloved No.1 fan Nanna Nancy.
Perhaps following in the footsteps of ex- Melbourne great Garry Lyon and his very successful Specky Magee children's books.
This wk, @Fleech tells us the story behind his bestselling children's book series: Specky Magee, and on reaching kids through footy books. pic.twitter.com/h1nRZEwSta

Home sweet homeย
The premiership cup has toured the Demon households as players share pictures on Instagram of their families posing with the cup.
Tom McDonald, Christian Petracca and other fellow teammates looked right at home with the cup in their Backyards and living rooms.
The celebrations for the Dees continue!
A sneak peek into Geelong's 2022 Calendarย
Despite being one of the oldest teams in the competition, the Cats are still confident that they can come back stronger in 2022.
After this year's devastating finals campaign and last year's Grand Final loss, Geelong will certainly want to put their best claw forward.
Below is a sneak peek into what the Geelong Cats calendar could look like next year!
American Pie signs onย
American Pie Mason Cox has signed a one-year contract extension and will play for Collingwood in 2022.
Cox posted his excitement for next years season in a tweet and said "Good things are on the horizon" and "fans should be excited for what's to come."
Fans expressed their happiness for the re-signing of their Pies forward on social media.
Take a look below to see what they had to say!
