Patrick Dangerfield joined him ahead of his preliminary final against Brisbane on Friday night, Sam Edmund rang the Trade Bell, and Aaron Finch discussed his cricket future after retiring from ODIs. He also covered cricket's hottest topics with Adam Gilchrist, and Wayne Hawkes recapped the efforts from the horses in his stable on the weekend.

Race horse trainer Wayne Hawkes joined Gerard in the studio to talk about Alligator Blood's loss to I'm Thunderstruck in the Makybe Diva stakes on Saturday, Queen Elizabeth's relationship with racing and why racing needs the royal family, Yearning's return at Flemington, his excitement with Remarque, the decision to geld Magic, Zeyrek's disappointing run, and more.

SEN Chief Sports reporter Sam Edmund joined Gerard in the studio to discuss Luke Jackson's chances of landing at West Coast rather than Fremantle, St Kilda's movements this trade period, the busy trade period Collingwood are set to have, Griffin Logue's chances of heading to North Melbourne, Ollie Henry's potential move to Geelong, and more.

After playing his last ODI game for Australia on Sunday, Aaron Finch joined Gerard to talk about the decision to retire, his favourite ODI memory, the next captain, his preparation for the T20 World Cup, why he's feeling "really good" about his batting, the squad they've selected for the World Cup, and more.

Luke Hodge joined Gerard from the Brisbane studio where he discussed his involvement in Jarrod Berry's tribunal hearing last night, his triumphs and his downfalls in preliminary finals, the role the four captains will be playing this week, Luke Jackson's trade request, and more.

"He's a better prospect now than the prospecting at the draft, but the premature big dollars put a different slant on it..."
