Finally the importance of injuries in The NFL Discovery (24:15-end).

Ricky reacts to devastating news about the NBA lockout (start-3:25), and then there is a comparison of the current Geelong team to the Brisbane dynasty (3:25-10:20).

With weather playing havoc on the recording studio, the final stage of the A-League preview is put together (2:00-9:00). That covers the beginnings part, while the endings is obviously referring to the 2011 AFL Grand Final (9:00-End).

The A-League imminent arrival means Part 2 of the preview (from 2:45 to 14:10), and following that James' disgust at the AFL awards (14:10 to 21:00). The differences between NFL and Australian gambling closes out the show (21:00-end).

After some miscommunication issues to begin, the Whinge of the Week covers David Gallop's unfortunate comments for the Storm supporters. GWS's different approach with veterans, the beginning of the A-League season preview and first thoughts on the NFL make up the show.

With a lot of sport beginning and also building up to its crescendo, an overview of expectations for the AFL finals starts the show after a new-style whinge. The beginning of the road to Rio is explored and to finish a special announcement of a new segment for a sport that hasn't been discussed much.

After the hype surrounding the milestone episode last week, both Ricky and James struggle to motivate themselves for this week.
