What does "Pies in spotlight" mean?
You watch AFL from the UK?
The article covers a number of issues; what has become the usual season opener - Richmond v Carlton, on Thursday night - has been replaced, next season, with a Wednesday night opener featuring a rematch of this years Grand Final (Melbourne v Western Bulldogs). Plans are being made to mark a significant milestone, which will (hopefully) be quite early in the season - Lance 'Buddy' Franklin (Sydney Swans) will become only the sixth player, in the history of the game, to reach the 1000 goal landmark. 'Pies in spotlight' refers to Collingwoood - 'The Magpies, or 'Pies, for short' - new head coach, and a playing list in transition.
