We're off to Queensland! With Melbourne in COVID-19 lockdown once again and the Saints heating up in sunny Noosa, the boys recap a pretty satisfying Round 5 victory over Carlton, which sees the St Kilda Football Club sitting in the AFL's Top-4 for the first time in a long time. We also hear from former St Kilda FC midfielder - 2000 Trevor Barker Medallist - Andrew Thompson, about his time at the St Kilda Football Club both as a player and director on the Club's board following his retirement in 2007. Plus, we have a special guest appearance from the co-founders of the Queensland Saints supporter group, Murray and Bev Browne, to give us some insight into club activities in the Sunshine State and what to expect as a St Kilda supporter up north as we look towards Round 6 against the Fremantle Dockers at Metricon Stadium in the "AFL Queensland Hub."
