The boys are BACK in the studio and firing on all cylinders. After a week off and a hybrid episode that didn't quite hit the same, Robbie Von and Nick Ristovic are reunited and ready to roll for what shapes as one of the biggest weekends of the AFL season.

Freo are breaking records, the Dreamtime clash has extra meaning this year, and the $1,000 to $5,000 challenge is officially underway — Robbie throws $250 on a four-game multi paying $3.22 that could take the kitty to over $1,600. It's bold, it's beautiful and it's very Punt Pals.

The boys break down all the big Round 12 matchups, including a deeply emotional Queen's Birthday clash between Collingwood and Melbourne — dedicated to the great Neil Danaher, who passed away after a 27-month battle with MND. The Big Freeze tribute promises to be the most powerful yet, and the boys pay their respects before diving into their SGM picks.

Robbie has four same game multis across the weekend — a five-legger on the Dreamtime clash at $7.90 featuring Zach Merrett, Adam Saad marks and Will Hayward fantasy points, plus plays on Freo v St Kilda, Collingwood v West Coast and GWS v Brisbane. All multis go up on the Instagram page so you can follow along in real time.

Nick then wraps up with the Belmont Park racing rundown — the Racken Tour Stakes is the feature on Saturday with Ladies Pro at $3.60 shaping as the value play against red-hot favourite Hot and High, who's coming off five straight wins. Plus — if you're heading to the West Coast game at Optus on Saturday night, why not park at Belmont for free, back a winner and head over? Nick's plan and it's a bloody good one.
