So Geelong and Sydney are stuffed, Melbourne have arrived, Collingwood need a bigger rest and Toby Greene could kick himself out of a paper bag.

This week we review the bye, preview the finals and ponder changes to recruiting contracted players.

It's time to look forward to the finals and cast an eye back to the seasons that never were. Also some mild All Australian beef, Brownlow chat and the Cinnamon Bears take some scraps from the dumpster.

Ross Lyon's rebuild staring to get some heat, priority picks are causing some alarm and have Melbourne turned the corner for realz?

This week the boys sort through some odds and ends from Round 21.

After a dramatic weekend in AFL the boys look at all the fallout from the Gaff hit, talk of red cards, a review of the goal review system and a little dip into the rules of football future.

Secret meetings, rough and tumble off the ball, the floating fixture and the goal of the year.

The great games keep on comin' and as the AFL's "Competition Committee" prepare to meet we nip a few talking points in the bud, as well as fill an important role at the Tassie Cinnamon Bears.

James gets some stuff off his chest in relation to Carlton's list management, the bunged up top 8 and injuries hit as we approach the road home.

With another round behind us it's time to start putting Das Boot into a few teams, who we want to see win the flag and more on the rule changes that people won't shut up about.
