Bonus episode: it's preliminary finals week in the AFL & the NRL, and Marko along with Demons superstar The Ox caught up with Collingwood premiership captain and legend Nick Maxwell to chat about the weekends AFL.

Ox and Nick discuss what it's like for the players in prelim week, how they handle it and what it's like. They give their thoughts on who will win between Collingwood/GWS, and why, and on the winner of the Carlton/Brisbane match and why. Nick gives his view on how the 6-day vs 15-day break will influence both teams, particularly with the age of the senior players in the Pies team.

And Ox is filthy over his Demons getting bundled out and expresses it in no uncertain terms.
