The episode discusses the pressures faced by Carlton, the experience of a mental crisis during a game, the sacking of a coach, and various unusual sports incidents.

Carlton is under serious pressure… but what does it actually feel like when a mental crisis hits mid-game? We talk to a legend about experiencing it firsthand, then break down the St George Illawarra Dragons coach sacking - and what happens inside a club when everything falls apart. And Australia's top jouster shows us his weapons. Plus: • Tractor drives onto a cricket pitch mid-game • Should streakers be allowed to wear clothes? • Rugby’s chaotic origins (150 vs 150)
