Taylor Adams and Zach Tuohy will have to watch from the sidelines after missing out on selection. Catherine and Roosy crunch the numbers in a bid to predict how the preliminary finals will play out, and flights from Adelaide to Sydney certainly aren’t in excess, will Port fans even make it as flight dramas wreak havoc with supporters.

Christian Petracca has his bags packed for a training camp instead of attending Melbourne’s Best and Fairest. Hinkley says his focus is firmly on Friday night and which club is Richo’s daughter representing at her school’s footy dress up day, surely, it’d be the Tiges?

Who’s left in the race for the senior coaching role at the West Coast Eagles? The AFL has raised the soft cap, how will the clubs spend the cash? And how do the Cats keep landing on all four feet?

With single point margins determining the preliminary finals’ match-ups, how do teams reflect on the moments that won or lost them the game? How can Port move forward from the drama of Friday night? And is Dusty the right fit for the Gold Coast Suns?

Is the AFL trying too hard to regulate emotion and passion? Quentin and Roosy evaluate whether the $20,000 fine for Ken Hinkley is unfair given Jason McCartney was dealt the same penalty for physical contact. 

On the field, why didn't Hawthorn execute under pressure? And Roosy thinks Chris Fagan needs to be tougher on his forwards and ask them to lift.

It was a fightback for the ages as Brisbane overcame a 44 point deficit to beat Greater Western Sydney and book a trip to the Preliminary Final. 

But Lions midfielder Josh Dunkley told Matt Clinch and Cameron Ling the game plan had to shift to help them get on top of the Giants.

Marred by Ken Hinkley's post match behaviour, Port have ended Hawthorn's season in a thriller. Connor Rozee joins the team to talk about Port's on-field success and how they will prepare for the preliminary finals. And can GWS bounce back from last week's loss?

Ken Hinkley is under enormous pressure to keep Port’s finals hopes alive and isn’t shying away from media commentary on it as the Happy Hawks ready themselves for Adelaide Oval. And the team look ahead to Saturday night, can the Lions keep Toby Greene quiet again?

Callum Mills’ road to finals has been hampered by yet another injury. After an eventful Saturday, Tom Papley has the last laugh at the expense of Toby Greene. And a super-sized deal served up to Mac Andrew, still with an option to upgrade. 

Would an on-field ban be a more suitable punishment for GWS footy manager Jason McCartney? The AFL has handed the Giants a hefty fine. AFLPA boss Paul Marsh is back from leave, and he’s upset about injuries. And the team celebrates Luke Breust ahead of his 300th game.
