Footy is ‘officially’ back and round one did not disappoint! Join us as we break down all the madness, from preseason predictions being "rolled up into a ball" to some massive upsets that have already shifted the landscape of the season.


In this episode:

  • ​ The "Neutral Zone": We dive deep into the Essendon Bombers’ identity crisis after their loss to Hawthorn. Are they rebuilding or in a premiership window?


  • ​ Contender Concerns: Is it time to hit the panic button for the winless Brisbane Lions? Plus, we look at the GWS Giants’ depth after their heavy loss to the Bulldogs.


  • ​ The "Bravery" Deficit: Why the Fremantle Dockers failed to ice their 40-point lead against the Cats and what it means for their finals hopes.
  • ​ Kangas Rising: North Melbourne looked "bullish" in their win over Port Adelaide - could this be the year they finally climb the ladder under Alastair Clarkson?


  • ​ Unsung Heroes & Awards: We celebrate the high-pressure game of Maurice Rioli and the class of Wayne Milera. Plus, find out who earned the Big Dog of the Week for firm leadership and who was labeled the Small Cat for a 2-goal, 7-behind performance.


  • ​ Round 2 Tipping: Our expert (and currently red-hot) predictions for the upcoming blockbusters, including Hawthorn vs. Sydney at the MCG and the "finals preview" between the Crows and the Bulldogs.


Don't miss our breakdown of the latest suspension rumors and our take on the "Damian Hardwick Cup."
