Downtown stitched up special co-host Scottie Ninnis with a mystery guest from his Panthers men's side.

The mystery guest was Jarryd Hoppo and Scottie guessed it fairly easily... 

Jarryd came to us from Bendigo Victoria, where him and his Dad were checking out a massive Elvis exhibit before Jarryd heads off to coach the U14s Boys Div 1s at Nationals in Nunawading on the long weekend. 

They also had a quick check-in on how his season has been going and Jarryd even gave us a spot on Elvis style "a-thankyouverymuch" as his sign off.

Downtown and Scotty spoke to Marko about the drought breaking win on the weekend, and how the team are locked in on winning their next 9 games to push for finals as they believe they have the roster to do it! 

And he revealed that his current team mate James Legan coached him back in around 2013 when James was first in the league and that it has been a little weird going from being coached by him to now playing with him.
