About this episode

The episode reviews AFL Round 22, discussing team performances, coaching changes, and player injuries.

The boys wrap up Round 22 with finals footy in the air. Buddy reckons Josh Fraser's coaching gig is already a formality, Sam Walsh looks back to his brilliant best, and the boys turn on St Kilda over their handling of injured stars — "where's their duty of care?" Collingwood survive a short-handed trip to Perth as Nick de Cos does what Nick de Cos does, before Brisbane belt Hawthorn by 67 in a "reality check" ahead of September. Then it's the Melbourne v Fremantle classic at the MCG, a serious chat on the Geelong concussion waiver saga, and Gold Coast finally winning thanks to Touk Miller's meditation routine. Buddy's Young Star goes to Logan Morris, before the show closes on Hawthorn's forward-line succession plan.
