    Be careful with your in house Medical expert Ms Birch. She’s got a lot wrong. Bring back Larkins.

  • Please fix audio levels

    Great show, but the audio levels are terrible. One commentator can hardly be heard and the next breaks your ears. And the ads are so much louder than the show.

  • Bartel, Shaw & Richo

    Love the Sunday panel chemistry; very entertaining and natural. Much better without McClure (sorry Sam). And of course Lane, Wilson & Matthews remain the GOAT.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bulldogs CEO says they will 'try hard' to convince Zak Butters to join the club
Q: What factors make Zak Butters a good fit for the Bulldogs, and how do you see Geelong or other clubs shaping the race for his signature?
Zak is a high-quality, loyal captain-type player whose style and leadership could slot into our system, but the decision involves his preferences and whether staying or returning to Victoria serves the best interests of his career; if he considers coming back, we would be very aggressive in presenting our case.
Bulldogs CEO says they will 'try hard' to convince Zak Butters to join the club
Q: Ameet, Zak Butters is the hottest free agent, and the Dogs are reportedly in the mix. How confident are you about landing him, and is there room to pursue a deal given the current cap space?
I can't confirm a deal today, but we do have room if a decision is made to move; the salary cap has risen, and a couple of senior players have left elite contracts, which opens up space for a potential high-value move.
FULL REVIEW: The Magpies secure the win for Scott Pendlebury's record-breaking game! (May 23 2026)
