* A preview to the weekend’s big Box Hill final featuring great friend of the Insiders, Ed Sill (@ed_sill);

* A look ahead to the AFLW season with a special appearance from Soaring to New Heights pod host, Liam;

* Players that we have been linked to in the media;

* The AFL Awards night including the live announcement of James SIcily making the AA Team;

* And plenty more…
